Background: Complicated wrist amputation caused by severe trauma poses a real challenge for orthopedic and hand surgeons. This study aimed to evaluate a procedure of ulnoradial-metacarpal reconstruction as a rescue option in this challenging situation.

Methods: In total, 12 patients with complicated wrist amputation induced by serious injury were selected from 2015 to 2020 and followed up for 1∼6 years at a level 1 trauma center.

Department of Orthopedic, Trauma and Reconstructive Surgery, Percy Military Hospital, 101 Avenue Henri Barbusse, Clamart, 92140, France.

Introduction: Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a technique that has proven effective for the treatment and prevention of chronic pain following amputation, though its adoption remains limited. The authors report on their initial experience using TMR.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted in a military trauma center involving traumatic amputees treated with either curative or preemptive TMR.

Purpose: To report the radiological outcomes and complications of the Masquelet induced membrane technique (IMT) for acute bone reconstruction in complex hand injuries.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 22 patients treated primarily by the IMT for bone defect of the phalanx and/or metacarpals bones in 26 injured digits. The median bone defect length was 17 mm (IQR 13-25).

Introduction: Blunt brachial artery injuries (BAI) require reconstruction with an extensive vein graft due to the wide area of arterial damage. In the upper arm, safe options for pedicle flaps are limited, and selecting recipient vessels for free-flap surgery is challenging, complicating the treatment of soft tissue injuries associated with blunt BAI. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics and soft tissue reconstruction of blunt BAI and propose treatment strategies for treating associated soft tissue injuries.

Background: Nail unit melanoma (NUM) is increasingly treated with digit-sparing surgery, but few published case series describe Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for NUM.

Objective: To describe the surgical technique, local recurrence rates, and reconstruction method for a large series of NUM treated with MMS using MART-1 immunostaining.

Methods: Biopsy-proven NUM treated with MMS-MART-1 were identified from a prospectively maintained database (2008-2023).
