Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injury is a common cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain. However, treatment protocols vary across clinical settings and a standardized treatment protocol is needed to improve quality of care. We devised a rehabilitation regime which comprised both orthoses and exercises. We hypothesized that the program can effec...

The hand is a rare site for aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs). Depending on their degree of invasiveness, treatment of ABCs ranges from medical therapy to surgical curettage and bone filling. In the most advanced cases, bone resection and reconstruction, with or without adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment, are indicated. We describe a technique involving ...

Cutaneous myoepithelioma is a rare neoplasm of the skin that has become more widely recognized in recent years despite significant diagnostic pitfalls. It is a benign neoplasm with a high recurrence rate if not excised radically, and must be distinguished from its malignant counterpart. Few cases have been described so far and, to our knowledge, no...

The double crush syndrome describes a condition characterized by multifocal entrapment of a nerve. In the upper limb, the high prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome makes it a common diagnosis of assumption in the setting of median neuropathy. More proximal compressions may tend to be overlooked, under-diagnosed and under-treated in the population. ...

Plexiform neurofibroma is a benign peripheral nerve-sheath tumor, rarely involving major nerves of the extremities. In the literature, there are no clear treatment strategies for plexiform neurofibroma of major peripheral nerves. Our experience encountered two patients with plexiform neurofibroma of the median nerve, presenting with a palmar mass a...

Non-inflammatory thickening of the subsynovial connective tissue (SSCT) in the carpal tunnel is commonly found in subjects with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and quantification may shed light on CTS pathogenesis. To date, information on the reliability of ultrasound quantification of SSCT is scarce. Therefore, we investigated intrarater and interra...

Peritrapezial osteoarthritis (OA) includes scaphotrapezial and trapeziometacarpal OA. In clinical practice, scaphotrapezial OA seems better tolerated than trapeziometacarpal OA, with fewer complaints and better tolerance. The difference in pain could be linked to a difference in joint capsule innervation, perhaps with fewer nerve fibers in the scap...

Trigger finger is one of the most common pathologies of the finger flexor mechanism. Previous studies have shown the value of ultrasound-guided percutaneous tenolysis. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of anterograde versus retrograde percutaneous ultrasound-guided tenolysis. This was a comparative cadaver study performed...
