Mashup Score: 2Occult Amyloid Deposition in Older Patients Presenting With Bilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or Multiple Trigger Digits - 1 day(s) ago
The diagnosis of amyloidosis is important for early intervention, disease monitoring, and prevention of complications and progression. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and trigger digit (TD) are two common conditions associated with early disease. The purpose of this study was to define disease prevalence among patients with bilateral CTS and multiple TDs and assess for an increased rate of diagnosis in the presence of both.

Mashup Score: 5Referral Patterns Associated With Delayed Care for Traumatic Brachial Plexus Injuries - 2 day(s) ago
Traumatic brachial plexus injuries (BPI) are devastating, time-sensitive conditions that often require definitive treatment at academic tertiary care centers. Delays to presentation and surgery have been associated with inferior outcomes. In this study, we evaluate referral patterns associated with delayed presentation and late surgery in traumatic BPI patients.

Mashup Score: 0Evaluating the Performance of an Automated Patient-Reported Outcomes Collection Platform in a Postoperative Hand Surgery Population - 3 day(s) ago
Reliable collection of postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is critical to understanding surgical outcomes and the value of care. Automated PROMs collection, triggered by the electronic medical record at the 1-year postoperative anniversary, may provide a simple way to acquire outcomes for patients who have been discharged from clinic. The purposes of this study were to (1) evaluate the percentage of responses with an automated PROMs collection platform and (2) identify whether such a system may introduce selection bias by comparing responders with nonresponders.

Mashup Score: 1Trends in Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Diversity Among Hand Surgery Fellows From 2007 to 2021 - 6 day(s) ago
There is a paucity of research on the demographic trends of orthopedic and plastic hand surgery fellows. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the current state of racial and gender demographic trends in hand surgery fellowship from 2007 to 2021.

Mashup Score: 7
To compare rates of revision surgery between primary endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR) and open carpal tunnel release (OCTR). In addition, we aimed to assess the influence of fellowship training on revision rates. We hypothesized that ECTR would not be associated with higher rates of revision surgery.

Mashup Score: 3Evaluation of Intramedullary Olecranon Screw Fixation for Simple Olecranon Fractures: A Biomechanical Study - 9 day(s) ago
The purpose of this study was to biomechanically evaluate the stability of the 6.5 mm intramedullary (IM) olecranon screw compared to locking compression plate fixation for Orthopedic Trauma Association/AO Foundation (OTA/AO) 2U1B1 olecranon fractures under cyclic range of motion of the elbow.

Mashup Score: 8Impact of Bracing and Therapy Services on Perioperative Costs for Patients Undergoing Distal Biceps Tendon Repair - 10 day(s) ago
This study aimed to quantify and assess perioperative costs in an integrated healthcare system for patients undergoing distal biceps tendon (DBT) repair with and without the use of postoperative bracing and formal physical (PT) or occupational (OT) therapy services. In addition, we aimed to define clinical outcomes after DBT repair using a brace-free, therapy-free protocol.

Mashup Score: 2Two-, Three-, or Four-Corner Arthrodesis for Midcarpal Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - 12 day(s) ago
Several limited midcarpal arthrodeses have been used in the treatment of midcarpal osteoarthritis as part of scapholunate advanced collapse and scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse. There is no consensus on whether two-carpal arthrodesis (2CA), three-carpal arthrodesis (3CA), bicolumnar arthrodesis, or four-carpal arthrodesis (FCA) results in the best outcomes. The objective of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in outcomes in patients undergoing FCA, 3CA, 2CA, or bicolumnar arthrodesis for midcarpal osteoarthritis.

Mashup Score: 0
Health disparities related to race, ethnicity, gender, level of education, and other social determinants of health remain prevalent in medicine and surgery. Understanding the impact of health disparities on treatment decisions and outcomes among common hand surgery conditions has been a major focus of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand. Creative strategies are necessary to go beyond the description of disparities and move toward the proposal of actionable solutions. Community engagement research is one feasible approach that can help hand surgeons narrow these gaps and improve health care outcomes.
