Background Ulnar nerve lesions proximal to the elbow can result in loss of intrinsic muscle function hand. The anterior interosseous (AIN) deep motor branch ulnar (DBUN) transfer has been demonstrated provide reinnervation, thereby preventing clawing and improving pinch grip strength. purpose this study was evaluate efficacy AIN DBUN restoring for patients with traumatic lesions. Methods We performed a prospective, multi-institutional outcomes following high injuries. Twelve were identified,...
Type B ulnar polydactyly is a common congenital hand difference and can be treated with either ligation or surgical excision. There paucity of literature, however, evaluating long-term patient reported outcomes these treatments. The purpose this study was to compare the after excision for management type polydactyly.We created database patients who underwent treatment at single pediatric health system from 2005 2014. We administered Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System...
Background: There is an increased push for plastic surgery units in the United States to become independent departments administered autonomously rather than as divisions of a multispecialty department. The purpose this research was determine whether there are any quantifiable differences academic performance versus divisions. Methods: Using list affiliated with American Council Academic Plastic Surgeons, unit Web sites were queried departmental status and obtain faculty. productivity then...
Hand surgery dogma suggests that simultaneous surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome and Dupuytren's contracture results in an increased incidence complex regional pain syndrome. As a result, many surgeons do not perform for the two conditions concurrently. The authors' goal was to determine extent this association.The authors identified all patients undergoing syndrome, contracture, or both between April 1982 March 2017 using Indiana Network Patient Care, large, multi-institutional,...
and began covering outpatient knee replacements.It is unknown how these changes will affect hospital performance under the CJR program.Evidence suggests that bundled payments effectively reduce health expenditures. 5However, our findings suggest heterogeneous effects of program across different types.Particularly, SNHs were less likely to receive high reconciliation payments, indicating might disproportionately benefit hospitals serve patients with higher socioeconomic status.In interest...
There is a paucity of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) data in lower extremity salvage. Limb salvage can often be achieved with the use local muscle flaps or fasciocutaneous flaps. The purpose this study was to compare PROs patients who underwent using amputation.
Anatomical variations of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon are rare. Variations typically asymptomatic, yet knowledge these poses significance in setting dorsal approaches to wrist surgery. We present a case an accessory EPL that was discovered intraoperatively fourth compartment during open repair distal radius fracture with spanning plate. If not correctly identified, could have been entrapped beneath plate, resulting limited thumb extension and potentially rupture.
Background: Carpal tunnel release (CTR) is one of the most commonly performed procedures in hand surgery. Complications from surgery are a rare but significant patient dissatisfier. The purpose this study was to determine whether insurance status independently associated with complications after CTR. Methods: We retrospectively identified all patients undergoing CTR between 2008 and 2018 using Indiana Network for Patient Care, state-wide health information exchange, built database that...
Background In this study, we sought to determine if postoperative physician phone calls following hand and wrist fracture surgery improve patient outcomes, satisfaction, treatment adherence. Methodology We prospectively enrolled 24 consecutive adult patients who underwent outpatient for isolated fractures at a single, metropolitan, safety-net hospital over one year receive an additional call starting on day one. measured preoperative Brief Michigan Hand Questionnaire (bMHQ) composite score,...
Brachial artery lacerations are limb-threatening injuries requiring emergent repair. Concomitant peripheral nerve symptoms often only identified postoperatively. This study evaluated the prevalence of deficits among this population as indications for early exploration have not been definitively established.
Background: Many patients with complete nerve lacerations after upper extremity trauma have a documented normal peripheral examination at the time of initial evaluation. The purpose this study was to determine whether physician-, patient-, and injury-related factors increase risk false-negative examinations. Methods: A statewide health information exchange used identify subsequently confirmed by surgical exploration 1 pediatric 2 adult level I centers in single city from January 2013 2017....
We present a unique case of side-to-side metacarpal fusion for reconstruction after an isolated gunshot wound to the right hand 19-year-old woman. There was traumatic segmental loss proximal second base with considerable comminution trapezium and trapezoid. Reconstructive options were limited because destruction distal carpus carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. Digital ray amputation offered but deferred patient preference. The performed via remnant third base, bypassing previously destroyed CMC...
