Catfish injuries to the upper extremity following fishing activities are common in the southern United States, especially because noodling is commonplace in this region. Noodling is when a fisher will stick their hand into an area where a catfish is guarding its eggs and grab the catfish by its mouth. Different mechanisms of injury, including envenomation and spine embedment, can occur and…

The United States spends more on health care than any other country in the world based on the percentage of gross domestic product. This fact is coupled with health care facilities contributing nearly one-tenth of all greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, and with the health care industry’s waste contributions to landfills being second only to those of the food industry. In some…

Mashup Score: 1Use of Vascularized, Denervated Muscle Targets for Prevention and Treatment of Upper-Extremity Neuromas - 3 year(s) ago
Neuroma formation following upper-extremity peripheral nerve injury often results in persistent, debilitating neuropathic pain with a limited response to medical management. Vascularized, denervated muscle targets (VDMTs) offer a newly described surgical approach to address this challenging problem. Like targeted muscle reinnervation and regenerative peripheral nerve targets, VDMTs are used to…

Mashup Score: 1Shared Decision-Making Tool for Opioid Prescribing After Ambulatory Orthopedic Surgery in Veterans: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial - 3 year(s) ago
We examined whether an educational, shared-decision-making tool designed to empower patients, individualize pain management, and maximize use of nonopioid, over-the-counter analgesics reduces opioid use and waste while maintaining adequate pain relief.

Information regarding the management of intra-articular base fractures of the index metacarpal is scarce. Fractures of the base of the index metacarpal are rare because of the inherent stability of the joint. Of the handful of case reports on this injury, there appear to be 2 main patterns: fractures of the dorsal radial condyle and fractures of the volar ulnar condyle, which are attached to the…

Mashup Score: 0Growth Factor Expression During Healing in 3 Distinct Tendons - 3 year(s) ago
We investigated unique tendon growth-factor expression profiles over time in response to simultaneous, similar injuries. Characterizing these genetic differences lays the foundation for creating targeted, tendon-specific therapies and provides insight into why current growth-factor treatments have success in some applications but not others.

Complex upper-limb trauma, in particular crush and avulsion injuries, present an ongoing challenge for the reconstructive hand surgeon given the extensive zone of injury, particularly involving the neurovascular structures. When replantation is deemed unsuitable, the reconstruction must be both robust and flexible enough to meet the functional needs of the patient. The authors present a case of a…

A closed mallet injury is a common finger injury involving terminal extensor tendon avulsion from its insertion on the distal phalanx. Nonsurgical treatment with continuous extension orthosis fabrication is the preferred treatment. Our purpose was to report the failure rates of orthotic management by digit and investigate other factors that contribute to failure.

Mashup Score: 2Acute Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Secondary to Gout Flare and Outcomes at 18 Months After Open Carpal Tunnel Decompression - 3 year(s) ago
Acute carpal tunnel syndrome is a rare condition that requires immediate surgery. Although numerous causes have been described in the literature, only 7 reports of acute carpal tunnel syndrome secondary to gout have been reported, all with short follow-ups. We report, to our knowledge, the first case of carpal tunnel syndrome presenting with total anesthesia of the fingers innervated by the…
