Paronychia and felon are the most common infections of the hand. Surgical treatment is required once an abscess develops, but systematic use of postoperative antibiotic therapy remains open for discussion. Antibiotics both favor the selection of resistant bacteria and increase the cost of treatment. To our knowledge, no study has demonstrated their...

Total trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint replacement is increasingly being performed for the treatment of basal joint arthritis. However, complications such as instability or loosening are also frequent with TMC ball-and-socket joint replacement. Management of these complications lacks consensus. The purpose of this study was to report the results of 1...

Secondary osteoarthritis due to a scapholunate malalignment is well known, but is debatable in cases of lunotriquetral malalignment. It has been shown that lunotriquetral malalignment can lead to midcarpal osteoarthritis. The hypothesis of this retrospective study was that a relationship exists between the presence of midcarpal osteoarthritis and t...

In this study, we wanted to investigate whether the severity of preoperative degenerative changes in the trapeziometacarpal (TM) joint seen on CT scans would influence the clinical outcomes after total TM joint arthroplasty, and particularly whether discrete degenerative changes in the scaphotrapezial (ST) joint would negatively affect the clinical...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate patients who were treated with trapeziectomy and Dacron interposition in our hospital and to describe the incidence of foreign body reactions. Between 2004 and 2010, 10 women with trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis underwent Dacron interpositional arthroplasty. One patient had surgery in both hands. Implants...

Comminuted radial head fractures are usually associated with destabilizing lesions of the elbow. The radial head prosthesis (RHP) is a therapeutic alternative when fracture fixation is impossible, as it restores one of the elbow's secondary stabilizers. The aim of this study was to assess healing of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) after implan...
