Department of Hand, Plastic, Reconstructive, and Burn Surgery, BG Unfallklinik, Eberhard Karls University Tuebingen, 72076 Tuebingen, Germany.
Background: Considering the debilitating burden of neuroma resulting in a significant loss of function and excruciating pain, the use of muscle-in-vein conduits (MVCs) for the reconstruction of painful neuroma of sensory nerves of the fingers was assessed.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 10 patients who underwent secondary digital nerve repair by MVCs. The recovery of sensibility was evaluated by static and moving two-point discrimination (2PDs, 2PDm) and Semmes-Weinstein monofilament testing (SWM).

Department of Hand, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, BG Trauma Center, Eberhard Karls University Tuebingen, Tuebingen, Germany; Department of Hand, Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Medius Hospital Nuertingen, Nuertingen, Germany.
Purpose: Muscle-in-vein conduits provide an alternative for bridging digital nerve defects when tension-free suture is not possible. Low donor site morbidity and absence of additional costs are favorable advantages compared with autografts or conduits.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 37 patients with 43 defects of proper palmar digital nerves.

June 2022
Department of Hand, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, BG Trauma Center, Eberhard-Karls University Tuebingen, Schnarrenbergstraße 95, 72076 Tuebingen, Germany; Department of Hand, Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Medius Hospital Nuertingen, Auf dem Saeer 1, 72622 Nuertingen, Germany.
Considering the rising prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and the lack of recommendations on antibiotic treatment, the present study evaluated the necessity of local and systemic antibiotic therapy in addition to surgical debridement in superficial hand infections. Superficial hand infections were defined as not involving tendons, joints or bone. Data were analyzed for 180 patients, assigned to three study groups according to postoperative antimicrobial treatment.

Department of Plastic and Aesthetic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery, Agaplesion Markus Hospital, Frankfurt, Germany.
Background: The safe execution of local flaps tends to be challenging for surgical residents. Thus, the purpose of the study was to evaluate a training model of local flaps based on fresh human skin excised from body contouring procedures.
Materials And Methods: A questionnaire and surgical skills evaluation-analyzing the theoretical and procedural knowledge about local flaps-were held both before and after the surgical skills training.
