Arthroscopic Midcarpal Suture Anchor Repair of Dorsal Intercarpal Ligament Avulsion.

The dorsal intercarpal ligament (DICL) is crucial for carpal stability and is frequently associated with injuries to other carpal ligaments, notably the scapholunate and lunotriquetral interosseous ligaments. Although isolated DICL injuries are uncommon, they can manifest as ligament avulsions, bony avulsions, or attenuations from chronic injury. Surgical repair of isolated DICL tears may be necessary when conservative management fails.

Evaluating Postoperative Pain Management Using the Detroit Interventional Pain Management Tool After Fracture Surgery: How Well Are We Really Doing?

Objectives: To assess patients' opioid prescription usage and pain management satisfaction after fracture surgery.

Design: An IRB-approved prospective prognostic cohort study for postoperative patients with fracture was conducted. Patients were evaluated by an independent observer at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively where they were given Detroit Interventional Pain Assessment questionnaires regarding their postoperative pain and opioid usage.

Ultrasound-based Measurement of the Intra-scaphoid angle.

Introduction: Ultrasound is gaining popularity for diagnosing scaphoid fractures. However, it hasn't been used to assess fracture displacement, such as humpback deformity. We propose a sonographic method to measure the intra-scaphoid angle, potentially serving as an alternative to CT scans for detecting fragment malposition after a scaphoid fracture.

Catch the shift: Ultrasound diagnosis of scapholunate lesion during Watson test.

Scapholunate ligament lesion is the most common ligament lesion in the wrist. We assessed the reliability of sonography in detecting it during Watson test. Twenty patients with scapholunate ligament lesion confirmed on MRI and intraoperatively were assessed preoperatively between July 2020 and April 2023.

Pediatric Wrist.

Pediatric wrist injuries pose unique diagnostic challenges due to distinct bone characteristics in children and their diverse injury patterns. The dynamic development of the wrist, marked by changes in bone age and emerging ossification centers, is crucial to evaluate growth and identify potential pathologies. The skeletal composition, rich in cartilage, renders bones relatively weaker yet more elastic, impacting their susceptibility to fracture.

Accuracy of wrist fracture detection on radiographs by artificial intelligence compared to human clinicians. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: The aim of the study is to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI) and human readers in the detection of wrist fractures.

Method: This study conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines. Medline and Embase databases were searched for relevant articles published up to August 14, 2023.

Rehabilitation Protocol for Lunate Fracture in a Clinical Case Report.

A carpal injury called a lunate fracture can cause severe carpal instability if treatment is not received. After the scaphoid, triquetrum, and trapezium, the lunate is the fourth most frequently fractured carpal bone. Due to lunate fracture, the functional prognosis is uncertain, and conservative treatment frequently results in surgery.

Idiopathic avascular necrosis of the scaphoid (Preiser's disease): a case report and review of the literature.

Idiopathic avascular necrosis of the scaphoid bone, Preiser's disease, was originally described as a deteriorative pathology whereby the osseous structure necroses due to loss of blood supply. It may present with multifactorial etiology, which is still largely not well understood. We describe a case of Preiser's disease in a 70-year-old female, with worsening pain and loss of range of motion in her right wrist over a two-year period.

Comparison of Radiographic Measurement Parameters of the Wrist in Patients with and without Scaphoid Fracture after Fall on an Outstretched Hand.

Purpose Of The Study: To investigate the effects of anatomical variations on the mechanism of scaphoid fracture by comparing the radiologic parameters of the wrist of patients with and without scaphoid fracture after a fall on an outstretched hand.

Material And Methods: Cross-sectional comparative retrospective analysis of radiographs of patients with (Group 1, n=169) and without scaphoid fracture (Group 2, n=188). Morphometric data were measured including radial inclination (RI), radial height (RH), ulnar variance (UV), carpal height (CH) ratio, revised carpal height (RCH) ratio and palmar tilt of the distal radius (PT).

Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Versus Sham in the Treatment of Operatively Managed Scaphoid Nonunions: The SNAPU Randomized Controlled Trial.
