Background Corticosteroid injections are widely used for treating thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis, yet the accuracy of non–image-guided in expert hands is uncertain, with prior studies reporting intraarticular placement about 60% thumbs when performed by physicians different levels training. Despite their common use, there a need to assess both and short-term clinical efficacy these injections, particularly without image guidance fellowship-trained hand surgeons.

Given the rare incidence of sternal nonunion after traumatic injury, literature describing management posttraumatic reconstruction is limited. We present a case 54-year-old man with history chest wall injury multiple unsuccessful attempts at repair who presented chronic and persistent bone defect. Sternal using vascularized double-barrel free fibula flap rigid fixation in planes was performed, confirmed bony union 6 months.This novel approach to allowed effective bridging defects while...
Background: The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic capability ultrasonography (US) in patients with suspected brachial plexus injury (BPI) terminal nerves by comparing physical examination (PE) findings US, electromyography (EMG), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reports. Methods: All at a single institution who underwent US for peripheral nerve resulting sensory-motor deficits from October 1, 2017 31, 2023 were identified. A retrospective chart review was performed....
