Arthroscopic Radiolunate Fusion: Surgical Technique
Radiolunate (RL) fusion is a selective salvage procedure for focal post-traumatic radiolunate arthritis, designed to address an isolated radiolunate lesion while preserving the uninvolved wrist compartments. Compared with radioscapholuna...

Intramedullary Fixation for Epibasilar Thumb Metacarpal Fractures: A Case Series
Intramedullary (IM) fixation has gained popularity in the fixation of hand and finger fractures, given the ability to start early postoperative range of motion and relatively minimally invasive insertion. This article describes the surgi...

Anterior Deltoid to Biceps Transfer for Restoration of Elbow Flexion
Major injuries to the infraclavicular or axillary region requiring axillary artery repair or reconstruction, a replantation carried out at the proximal third of the arm, or an infraclavicular brachial plexus palsy with failed nerve recon...

Pyrocarbon Hemiarthroplasty Via Lateral Approach for the Treatment of PIP Osteoarthritis
Hemiarthroplasty of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint using a pyrocarbon implant was initially described for the salvage of nonreconstructable fractures with loss of 1 joint surface. Later, this method was used to treat osteoarthr...

Capsuloplasty of the Dorsal Carpometacarpal Ligament Complex by Arthroscopy in Carpometacarpal Instability Arthroscopic Assisted
Background: Carpometacarpal (CMC) joint instability can arise from multiple factors, including rheumatoid arthritis, congenital abnormalities, connective tissue disorders, and acute or cumulative trauma. Early detection is crucial, as li...

Standardized Volar Silicone PIP Arthroplasty: Bilateral Proximal Collateral Release and a Structured Non-Repair Strategy.
Silicone arthroplasty of the proximal interphalangeal joint is traditionally performed through a dorsal approach, which requires violation of the extensor mechanism and may contribute to postoperative stiffness and extension lag. Volar a...

Reinsertion of the Extensor Pollicis Brevis for Correction of Z-Deformity in Advanced Thumb Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis
Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis in advanced stages is frequently associated with metacarpophalangeal (MCP) hyperextension, resulting in the characteristic Z-deformity and reduced pinch stability. Standard basal joint reconstru...

Open-Guided Latarjet With Suture-Button Fixation: Early Experience
Recurrent anterior shoulder instability associated with glenoid bone loss poses a significant surgical challenge. The open Latarjet procedure with screw fixation remains a reliable option. However, screw-related complications, such as ha...
