Brachial plexus injuries (BPI) with complete root avulsions remains a clinical challenge due to a paucity of nerves available for nerve transfer and innervation of free functioning muscle transfers (FFMT). The hypoglossal and hemihypoglossal nerve has not been studied as a donor nerve option for FFMTs in brachial plexus reconstruction, despite successful outcomes of hypoglossal nerve transfers in…

Flexor tendon injury continues to pose a number of challenges for hand surgeons. Improving mechanical properties of repairs should allow for earlier and unprotected rehabilitation. A 3-dimensional (3D) 4-strand suture technique has been proposed to combine high tensile strength and low gliding resistance without causing suture pullout due to tendon delamination. Our hypothesis is that the 3D…

Mashup Score: 2Applications of Vascular Imaging and Interventional Radiology Modalities in the Upper Extremity: A Review - 1 year(s) ago
Hand and upper extremity (HUE) vascular disorders are encountered frequently by hand surgeons in clinical practice. A wide array of imaging and vascular interventional radiology modalities exists for the diagnosis and treatment of HUE vascular disorders, some of which may not be familiar to the HUE surgeons. In this review article, we summarize the vascular imaging and vascular interventional…

Bicolumnar fractures of the distal humerus pose numerous treatment challenges for upper-extremity surgeons. Although open reduction and internal fixation demonstrates advantages compared with nonsurgical treatment, restoration of osseous anatomy can be difficult, particularly for comminuted, intra-articular fractures. Despite well-recognized complications, total elbow arthroplasty remains an…
