It is difficult to achieve satisfactory results in the treatment of advanced degloving injury, which is one of the most challenging injuries in hand surgery. In this report, we present a case of marked destructive arthropathy of the interphalangeal joint that developed following revascularization after degloving hand injury. A 37-year-old, right-handed female manual worker sustained a degloving injury of her fingers, including the dorsal hand. We performed revascularization and secondary surgery, which included tenolysis and a tendon graft, to obtain functional improvement. These 2 procedures provided significant improvement in the active range of motion of the respective fingers. However, the patient complained of postoperative pain in the proximal interphalangeal joint. X-ray revealed destructive changes in the interphalangeal joint, which advanced progressively. Destructive changes in the interphalangeal joint following advanced degloving injury should be recognized as a potential complication that could be a limitation of functional restoration. Follow-up X-ray examination is necessary, even in cases with no fracture of the phalanges at the time of injury. In the management of degloving injury, patients should be informed of the potential risk of destructive arthropathy, which could result in restricted motion with pain. This review discusses success, time to healing, and complications of bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) 7 and 2 in treating upper extremity nonunions. Systematic review identified 26 of 479 studies that met inclusion criteria. Publications described application of BMPs to acute and chronic upper extremity delayed unions/nonunions. Unions, complications, patient demographics, and fracture/healing patterns were pooled and analyzed. Nonunions treated with BMP-7 (n=302) involved the humerus (64%), forearm (22%), clavicle (11%), and hand/wrist (3%), with prior surgical correction attempted in 84%. Nonunions treated with BMP-2 (n=96) involved the humerus (58%), hand/wrist (27%), forearm (14%), and clavicle (1%), with prior surgical correction attempted in all. Most nonunions (80%) were present for over 12 months before BMP application. Union rates of BMP-7 varied according to site hand/wrist (95%), humerus (74%), forearm (29%), and clavicle (6.2%) nonunions achieved union as defined by study authors in 232 daysall, BMPs are an effective adjunct to fracture healing with acceptable complication profile. High infection rates have been reported in hand procedures using the wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) method, causing some to question the validity of this approach. However, little evidence exists surrounding the direct use of WALANT compared with monitored anesthetic care (MAC). This study was conducted to directly compare the postoperative infection rates of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and trigger finger (TF) release surgeries performed under WALANT and MAC. A retrospective study comparing postoperative infection rates between patients undergoing CTS and TR releases was conducted. Our primary outcome measure was postoperative infection. Our secondary outcome was postoperative complications. Comparative statistics were used to compare means of infection between the groups. A total of 526 patients underwent CTS release (255 with WALANT and 271 with MAC), and 129 patients underwent TF release (64 with WALANT and 65 with MAC). Patients undergoing WALANT and MAC were statistically comparable in terms of sex, smoking status, diabetes, and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification. In patients undergoing CTS release, there were no infections with WALANT and 6 infections (2.2%) with MAC. In patients undergoing TF release, there were no infections in either group. There were similar rates of complications in patients undergoing WALANT and MAC for CTS and TF releases. There was no increased risk of infection with WALANT compared with MAC in CTS or TR surgeries. These surgeries can be safely conducted with lidocaine and epinephrine without a concern for increased risk of infections or complications.There was no increased risk of infection with WALANT compared with MAC in CTS or TR surgeries.

Advanced thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint arthritis is widely treated with trapeziectomy. To obviate the need for autologous tissue, maintain thumb length, and reduce the risk of scaphoid impingement, the senior author developed an interposition arthroplasty technique using meniscal allograft. We hypothesize that the use of meniscus improves outcomes and subsequent functionality compared with trapeziectomy alone. Twenty-three patients with Eaton stage III-IV CMC osteoarthritis underwent arthroplasty with meniscal allograft, and 7 patients underwent trapeziectomy alone. Preoperative Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH), pain, grip and pinch strength, and range of motion scores were compared with postoperative scores at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year. The study group consisted of 17 women and 6 men, and the control group consisted of 5 women and 2 men. The mean age was similar at 61.4 (48-72) years and 65.7 (56-78) years for the study and control groups, respectively. The DASH scores droppedures and range of motion, and less subsidence.Outcomes measurements after pollicization remains difficult due to the lack of a standardized assessment protocol. This study reports our experience of a global assessment of pollicized thumbs that includes a specific questionnaire for subjective evaluation, a detailed clinical assessment focused on functional outcomes incorporating function and usage of the pollicized thumb. Twenty-seven patients completed the questionnaire, and nine hands were clinically evaluated by a multidisciplinary team composed of hand surgeons and occupational therapists. Subjective evaluations revealed that 24 patients would recommend pollicization. Clinical evaluations revealed that only four out of nine patients properly integrated their pollicized thumb during bimanual activities; however, occupational therapy input allowed the children to compensate for the lack of strength and other difficulties. We propose the use of this global assessment package to analyse function and usage at various capacities, which can be useful for the surgeon, child and parents.
