Mashup Score: 2
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum is often treated by marrow stimulation techniques with good long-term outcomes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to characterize the healing of cartilage repair tissue. However, no formal system exists for assessment of cartilage healing after marrow stimulation in capitellar OCD. The aims of this study were to describe the…

Mashup Score: 0The Effects of Autologous Fat Transfer in an In Vitro Model of Basal Joint Osteoarthritis - 1 year(s) ago
Basal joint osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent and debilitating condition. Recent clinical evidence suggests that autologous fat transfer (AFT) may be a promising, minimally invasive treatment for this condition. However, the mechanism of action is not fully understood. It is theorized that AFT reduces inflammation in the joint, functions to regenerate cartilage, or acts as a mechanical…

Mashup Score: 1Intraoperative Neuromonitoring for Peripheral Nerve Surgery - 1 year(s) ago
Intraoperative neuromonitoring is a valuable surgical resource that can assist in decision-making during peripheral nerve surgery using real-time electrophysiologic data. By stimulating a nerve and recording action potentials from a point on the nerve (“nerve action potential”) or from a muscle (“triggered electromyography”), nerve lesions can be localized and the extent of nerve damage…

Mashup Score: 0Facet Inclinations and Interfacet Angle of the Distal Radius on Posteroanterior Radiographs: Clinical Associations With 3 Carpal Pathologies - 1 year(s) ago
The radiographic interfacet angle (IFA), scaphoid facet inclination (SFI), and lunate facet inclination (LFI) of the distal radius were measured in patients with 3 distinct wrist pathologies to determine whether there is an association between these radiographic measurements and these conditions.

Mashup Score: 0
Brachial plexus injuries (BPIs) are devastating to patients not only functionally but also financially. Like patients experiencing other traumatic injuries and unexpected medical events, patients with BPIs are at risk of catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) in which out-of-pocket health spending exceeds 40% of postsubsistence income (income remaining after food and housing expenses). The…

Mashup Score: 0Human Amniotic Allograft in Hand Surgery - 1 year(s) ago
Amnion epithelial and mesenchymal cells have been shown in vitro to contain a variety of regulatory mediators that result in the promotion of cellular proliferation, differentiation, and epithelialization and the inhibition of fibrosis, immune rejection, inflammation, and bacterial invasion. Amniotic membrane–based products are approved for use as human cells, tissues, and cellular- and…

Mashup Score: 0A Prospective Clinical Trial Comparing Denervation With Suspension Arthroplasty for Treatment of Carpometacarpal Arthritis of the Thumb - 1 year(s) ago
Trapeziectomy with suspensionplasty is the most popular treatment for thumb carpometacarpal arthritis. However, carpometacarpal denervation has recently shown promise as an alternative treatment option. This study was designed to compare functional outcomes, pain reduction, and quality of life between denervation and suspension arthroplasty in patients treated for thumb carpometacarpal…

Mashup Score: 0Patient Comprehension of Operative Instructions With a Paper Handout Versus a Video: A Prospective Randomized Control Trial - 1 year(s) ago
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a video versus that of a paper handout for explaining operative instructions for hand and upper extremity surgeries to patients. We aimed to compare patient performance using a knowledge-based questionnaire. In addition, we aimed to compare how helpful patients found their assigned operative instructions.
