Mashup Score: 0The Use and Downstream Associations of Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Lateral Epicondylitis - 4 day(s) ago
Low-value imaging is associated with wasteful health care spending and patient harm. The routine use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the work-up of lateral epicondylitis is an example of low-value imaging. As such, our aim was to investigate the use of MRIs ordered for lateral epicondylitis, the characteristics of those undergoing an MRI, and the downstream associations of MRI with other care.

Mashup Score: 0Re-Evaluation of the Indications for the Camitz Procedure in Severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - 7 day(s) ago
The modified Camitz procedure has been used to improve thumb opposition in patients with severe carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), although its indications remain controversial. This study compared the functional recovery of thumb opposition following carpal tunnel release with and without a concomitant Camitz procedure. We used the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Instrument questionnaire (CTSI) and the compound muscle action potential of the abductor pollicis brevis (APB-CMAP) to assess the recovery.

During recovery from upper-extremity injury, patients sometimes express concerns regarding pain associated with increased use of the uninjured limb. Concerns about discomfort associated with increased use may represent a manifestation of unhelpful thoughts such as catastrophic thinking or kinesiophobia. We asked the following questions: (1) Among people recovering from an isolated unilateral upper-extremity injury, is pain intensity in the uninjured arm associated with unhelpful thoughts and feelings of distress regarding symptoms, accounting for other factors? (2) Is pain intensity in the injured extremity, magnitude of capability, or accommodation of pain associated with unhelpful thoughts and feelings of distress regarding symptoms?

This study aimed to compare the outcome in terms of range of motion between early active flexion and extension (early active motion, [EAM]) and passive flexion using rubber bands followed by active extension (sometimes referred to as a Kleinert regimen) after flexor tendon repair in zones 1 and 2.

Mashup Score: 5Pain Interference Prior to and 1 Year After Surgery for Adult Traumatic Brachial Plexus Injury - 15 day(s) ago
Pain after brachial plexus injury (BPI) can be severely debilitating and is poorly understood. We hypothesized that pain interference (PI) (“the extent to which pain hinders engagement in life”) would be predicted by depression, anxiety, severity of pain symptoms, and poorer preoperative muscle function.

Mashup Score: 0Diagnosis and Management of Hand Infections - 15 day(s) ago
Hand and upper-extremity infections span a broad spectrum of presentations for the hand surgeon, primary care provider, and emergency medicine practitioner. As many hand infections arise from penetrating trauma, knowledge of the offending pathogen, location, and mode of spread allows the clinician to determine the appropriate intervention. Along with a thorough history and physical examination, patient factors such as age, occupation, medical comorbidities, and surgical history should be noted. Timely diagnosis and appropriate management allow for optimal recovery and outcomes.
