The percutaneous length of the ulna was measured by using a certified calibrated measuring tape across all centers. Other variables such as geographical domicile, dominance of the hand, age, body mass index (BMI), and sex of the child were also recorded. <b>Results</b>  In total, 1,300 children (883 males and 417 females) with age ranging from 1 day to 18 years were included in the study. Gradual lengthening of the ulna was seen in both male and female children with increasing age without a significant difference; however, at 8, 9, and 14 years, there was significant lengthening of the ulna in males compared with females although the difference was statistically insignificant at 17 years. Apropos BMI at 16 years of age, a longer ulna was observed in obese children. Later on, at 18 years, the difference in ulnar length was insignificant. South Indian children had a significantly longer ulna up to the age of 11 years, but after the age of 11 years there was no difference in ulnar length in all zones. The length of the ulna was not affected by hand dominance. There was good inter-observer agreement and reliability between different centres. Age, zone, and gender, had statistically significant effect on the length of ulna but BMI and hand dominance was not significant. <b>Conclusion</b>  This multicentric study provides normative data on the percutaneous length of the ulna in the Indian pediatric population. Gradual lengthening of the ulna was seen in all children with increasing age. The length of the ulna was significantly more in male, obese, and in South Indian children.

The aim of our study was to measure the active ROM of finger joints in normal healthy volunteers in a sample of Indian population. <b>Materials and Methods</b>  This is a prospective observational study conducted as a part of the Indian normative data project of the Indian Society for Surgery of the Hand (ISSH). The study included one participating center from four geographical regions of the country. Certified goniometers were used to measure the ROM of fingers in all centers. A standardized methodology was devised. A pilot study was done to assess the interobserver and intraobserver reliability, following which data were collected by one measurement. <b>Results</b>  This pilot study was performed in 20 hands that showed good interobserver and intraobserver reliability correlation. A total of 390 hands were measured in four participating centers. Active flexion of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint was the highest in the middle finger (86.6 ± 10.4 degrees) followed by the index finger (86.0 ± 9.2 degrees), little finger (85.0 ± 8.4 degrees), and ring finger (84.2 ± 8.6 degrees). The index finger (97.2 ± 16.9 degrees) showed maximum proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint flexion followed by the middle finger (96.2 ± 15.8 degrees), ring finger (96.0 ± 15.9 degrees), and little finger (91.8 ± 12.7 degrees). Distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint flexion increased from the index finger (81.6 ± 13.9 degrees) to the little finger (84.6 ± 12.9 degrees). The little finger MCP joint (26.3 ± 6.2 degrees) showed maximum extension followed by the index finger (25.7 ± 6.8 degrees), middle finger (24.7 ± 6.7 degrees) and ring finger (22.3 ± 7.1 degrees). The middle finger (15.6 ± 8.1 degrees) and ring finger (16.2 ± 8 degrees) had more PIP joint extension when compared to the index (13.7 ± 7.8 degrees) and little finger (13.2 ± 8.4 degrees). The ring finger (8.1 ± 6.8 degrees) and the middle finger (8.4 ± 6.9 degrees) had more DIP joint extension when compared with the index finger (6.0 ± 6.0 degrees) and the little finger (6.8 ± 6.7 degrees). Total active motion (TAM) of the middle finger (315.9 ± 31.0 degrees) was the maximum followed by the index finger (310.2 ± 27.3 degrees), ring finger (308.8 ± 29.1 degrees), and little finger (307.8 ± 25.2 degrees). Gender, body mass index (BMI), mother tongue, geographical location, and occupation were factors that had significant correlation, while no significant differences based on side, hand dominance, and age were noted. <b>Conclusion</b>  We have reported normative data of finger ROM and TAM for the index, middle, ring, and little fingers in the Indian population.

The crucial decision here is whether to preserve a stump or to do a ray amputation. The present study aimed to compare the functional outcome and postoperative quality of life after ray amputation or amputation through the proximal phalanx. <b>Materials and Methods</b>  A prospective study was conducted from January 2019 to June 2020 in patients requiring single-finger amputation through the proximal phalanx or metacarpal. Patients were divided into two groups; Group A: amputation through the proximal phalanx and Group B: ray amputation of the finger. The following functional parameters were assessed: grip strength, hand circumference, palmar volume, and webspace span. The Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) score was employed to score hand function and aesthesis at 6 months in both hands. <b>Results</b>  Thirty patients were enrolled. Findings in 26 patients (52 hands) were subjected to further analysis, 12 in Group A and 14 in Group B. Patients in both groups lost grip strength significantly compared with their contralateral normal hands (29.22 ± 14.88 [Group A] and 34.57 ± 19.12 [Group B]); however, it was statistically nonsignificant between the two groups. There was reduced mean palmar circumference in both groups' involved hands, but the decrease in circumference was statistically significant, only for Group B. Group B patients scored better in all the six subscales of the MHQ; however, only the Aesthetics score was significantly superior. The operated hand's webspace span increased significantly with respect to the normal contralateral web by a mean of 4.55 mm. <b>Conclusion</b>  The study concluded that both the surgical options for the level of amputation should be discussed with the patients in detail, taking into account their occupational and personal requirements.

Accurate assessments of wrist X-rays can aid in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of various wrist problems. This study aims to identify normal radiographic anthropometry reference values and variations of carpal bones and joints by gender and age in sample Indian population, with the potential to be clinically applicable. <b>Materials and Methods</b>  Two investigators conducted a prospective analysis of normal wrist radiographs in a single center. Radiology Information Systems and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems were used to collect standard digitized normal X-rays without significant osseous pathology over a year. We conducted measurements of length, angles, and indices in a standard posteroanterior and lateral wrist X-rays in order to establish the standard dimensions and variances based on age and gender. <b>Results</b>  A total of 18 measurements which included eight linear measurements, eight angles, and two ratios were documented.
