Angioplasty has taken an important place in treating cardiovascular ischemic lesions, and stenting has become a widespread routine practice. Stent loss is a complication that, although rare, can result in stent migration into a vessel with dramatic complications due to occlusion. We report the case of a 77-year-old woman who underwent surgery to re...

Wide awake local anesthetic no tourniquet (WALANT) is gaining popularity amongst hand surgeons. Digital adrenaline use has been shown to be safe in multiple studies and the misconception forbidding it is receding. Phentolamine has been shown to safely reverse the effects of adrenaline should the feared complication of digital ischemia occur. A surv...

We presumed that primary repair would be possible if the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) rupture after volar locking plating (VLP) for distal radius fracture (DRF) was diagnosed earlier. Thus, five cases of EPL ruptures were resolved via primary repair rather than extensor indicis proprius (EIP) transfer, so we reported the clinical outcomes of at l...

The primary aim of this study was to describe the long-term patient reported outcomes following surgical repair of acute injuries to the thumb metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). The secondary aims were to describe the long-term health related quality of life, patient satisfaction and complication rate. From a single su...

This study aimed to analyze upper-extremity combat-related injuries (CRIs) and non-combat-related injuries (NCRIs) treated in the French Forward Surgical Team currently deployed in Gao, Mali. A retrospective study was conducted using the French Military Health Service OpEX surgical database from February 2013 to March 2020. All patients operated on...

Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) is an anesthetic method which uses a local injection of anesthetic and epinephrine, avoiding use of a tourniquet. During the COVID-19 pandemic, human and logistic resources had to be reorganized, and WALANT ensured resilience in our department to maintain access to surgical care. The objective of t...

Preliminary results with the Tactys® modular gliding prosthesis for proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) replacement were encouraging, with notable improvement in clinical and functional scores at 1 and 2 years' follow-up. However, a recent study found a trend for deterioration over time. We wanted to check this by analyzing medium-term outcomes. ...

Functional outcome assessment for children with brachial plexus birth palsy (BPBP) is essential. We aimed to investigate the association between the Brachial Plexus Outcome Measure (BPOM) and the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) in children with BPBP and healthy matched controls, and to explore upper-limb function and the discr...

To our knowledge, no study has directly measured the loads in the trapeziometacarpal joint during an isometric key pinch. The aim of this study was to measure the load acting on the trapeziometacarpal joint for increasingly greater key pinch forces (0.5 kg-1.5 kg). We performed a cadaver study using 10 fresh-frozen, unembalmed adult forearms and ha...

This study aimed to decrease surgeon exposure to ionizing radiation through a new learning technique, "deliberate practice", which consists in improving performance by setting goals with feedback. The hypothesis was that exposure to ionizing radiation during distal radius fracture surgery using the minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) tec...
