Mashup Score: 0Length Changes in the Interosseous Membrane During Forearm Rotation: A 3-Dimensional Study In Vivo - 13 hour(s) ago
The length change of the interosseous membrane (IOM) during forearm rotation has not been fully studied. To explore the meaning of length change in the distal oblique band (DOB), the distal accessory band (DAB), and the proximal, middle, and distal parts of the central band (CBP, CBM, and CBD, respectively), we investigated the length change in these ligaments at maximum pronation, 45° of pronation, neutral position, 45° of supination, and maximum supination in vivo.

Mashup Score: 0The Kappa Paradox Explained - 3 day(s) ago
Observer reliability studies for fracture classification systems evaluate agreement using Cohen’s κ and absolute agreement as outcome measures. Cohen’s κ is a chance-corrected measure of agreement and can range between 0 (no agreement) and 1 (perfect agreement). Absolute agreement is the percentage of times observers agree on the matter they have to rate. Some studies report a high-absolute agreement but a relatively low κ value, which is counterintuitive. This phenomenon is referred to as the Kappa Paradox.

Mashup Score: 4
Epidermolysis bullosa is a genetic skin disorder characterized by blister formation from mechanical trauma. Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene presenting as generalized blisters from birth, which can result in extensive scarring, alopecia, esophageal stenosis, corneal erosions, and nail dystrophy. This disease also often leads to pseudosyndactyly of the digits from the closure of webspaces, progressing to a “mitten hand” deformity. Although traditional and current treatment for DEB is largely supportive with wound care and iterative surgical pseudosyndactyly release, emerging gene therapies and novel skin grafts may offer promising treatment.

Mashup Score: 5Surgeon Factors and Trends Associated With the Use of Subacromial Decompression at the Time of Rotator Cuff Repair - 6 day(s) ago
Subacromial decompression (SAD) has historically been described as an essential part of the surgical treatment of rotator cuff disorders. However, investigations throughout the 21st century have increasingly questioned the need for routine SAD during rotator cuff repair (RCR). Our purpose was to assess for changes in the incidence of SAD performed during RCR over a 12-year period. In addition, we aimed to characterize surgeon and practice factors associated with SAD use.

Our institution has noted an increase in severe upper-extremity infections within the last 2 years. These patients have required transhumeral amputation. This case series demonstrates some of the catastrophic outcomes of these infections in people who inject drugs, which has been postulated to be related to the addition of xylazine to injectable drugs in our community.

The need to include simultaneous carpal tunnel release (sCTR) with forearm fasciotomy for acute compartment syndrome (ACS) or after vascular repair is unclear. We hypothesized that sCTR is more common when: 1) fasciotomies are performed by orthopedic or plastic surgeons, rather than general or vascular surgeons; 2) ACS occurred because of crush, blunt trauma, or fractures rather than vascular/reperfusion injuries; 3) elevated compartment pressures were documented. We also sought to determine the incidence of delayed CTR when not performed simultaneously.

Mashup Score: 0Long-Term Implant Fracture Rates Following Silicone Metacarpophalangeal Joint Arthroplasty in Rheumatoid Arthritis - 13 day(s) ago
The primary objective of this study was to compare the long-term survival rates of silicone metacarpophalangeal (MCP) arthroplasties between two major implants in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, using implant fracture as an end point. We also evaluated the difference in postoperative function between patients with fractured and intact implants as a secondary objective.

Mashup Score: 2Biological Versus Nonbiological Reconstruction of the Ulnar Collateral Ligament of the Thumb Metacarpophalangeal Joint: A Retrospective Study - 13 day(s) ago
The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and radiologic outcomes of biological ligament reconstruction (BLR) versus nonbiological ligament reconstruction (NBLR) for chronic injuries involving the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb’s metacarpophalangeal joint.
