The midcarpal joint participates in flexion/extension, radial-ulnar/deviation (RUD), and since lunate/wrist type-2 is likely more stable than a lunate/wrist type-1, we suggest that midcarpal joint structure will affect wrist motion. Our purpose was to compare wrist motion in Caucasian and Japanese populations and to associate motion with midcarpal joint morphology. We hypothesised that radiographic structure would correlate with wrist motion. <b>Methods:</b> A total of 164 patients with normal wrist radiographs were included. Clinical measurements included wrist extension, flexion and RUD. Radiographic measurements included the radiocarpal joint: ulnar variance, radial height, radial inclination, volar inclination and carpal joint measurements: lunate type, capitate circumference and each of its joints contact measured and calculated as a proportion of capitate circumference. <b>Results:</b> The groups differed in wrist motion and in multiple radiographic measurements. When the two populations were analysed together, there were no significant associations between midcarpal joint type and wrist motion. The radiocarpal joint: ulnar variance was correlated with extension and radial deviation. Radial height was directly related to flexion, and both radial height and radial inclination were directly correlated with ulnar deviation. The intracarpal measurements: The main measurement affecting motion was the contact between the capitate and the scaphoid (as a proportion of capitate circumference) with lesser correlations of the contact of the capitate with the trapezoid and hamate. The most significant measurement associated with a lunate type-2 was scaphoid contact with the capitate <i>p</i> = 0.01. Logistic regression demonstrated that the measurements most associated with wrist motion were scaphoid contact with the capitate/capitate circumference and hamate contact with the capitate/capitate. <b>Conclusions:</b> This study supports discrepancies in wrist motion amongst different racial cohorts, and a relationship between bone/joint structure in the wrist and wrist motion. This can help treat wrist pathology. <b>Level of Evidence:</b> Level III (Diagnostic).</p>","PeriodicalId":51689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hand Surgery-Asian-Pacific Volume","volume":" ","pages":"334-342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141617652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While volar to dorsal screw fixation is biomechanically advantageous, an open approach requires extensive soft tissue dissection, thus increasing morbidity. This study aims to investigate the practicality and safety of Bennett fracture fixation using a percutaneous, volar to dorsal screw, particularly with regard to the median nerve and its motor branch during wire and screw insertion. <b>Methods:</b> Fifteen fresh frozen forearm and hand specimens were obtained from the University of Auckland human cadaver laboratory. A guidewire is placed under image intensifier from volar to dorsal with the thumb held in traction, abduction and pronation. The wire is passed through the skin volarly under image intensifier, then the median nerve is dissected from the carpal tunnel and the motor branch of the median nerve (MBMN) is dissected from its origin to where it supplies the thenar musculature. The distance between the K-wire to the MBMN is measured. <b>Results:</b> In 14 of 15 specimens, the wire was superficial and radial to the carpal tunnel. The mean distance to the origin of the MBMN is 6.2 mm (95% CI 4.1-8.3) with the closest specimen 1 mm away. The mean closest distance the wire gets to any part of the MBMN is 3.7 mm (95% CI 1.6-5.8); in two specimens, the wire was through the MBMN. <b>Conclusions:</b> Wire placement, although done under image intensifier, is subject to significant variation in exiting location. While research has shown the thenar portal in arthroscopic thumb surgery is safe, our guidewire needs to exit further ulnar to capture the Bennett fracture fragment, placing the MBMN at risk.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation of clinical diagnosis with MRI findings, determine the prevalence of the tumour at different subungual locations and determine the differences in outcomes (if any) between a longitudinal and a transverse nail bed incision for excision of the tumour. <b>Methods:</b> This retrospective study of 56 subungual glomus tumour was conducted from May 2010 to December 2021. Data with regard to gender, age at presentation, digit involved, presenting symptoms, duration of symptoms, clinical signs, need for MRI, anatomical location, surgical approach (longitudinal versus transverse), histopathology result, period of follow-up and complications were recorded. <b>Results:</b> All 56 (100%) patients presented with classic triad of symptoms. The average duration of symptoms was 52.9 months (range: 3-204 months). Eleven (20%) tumours were in the sterile matrix, 38 (68%) at the junction of sterile and germinal matrix and 7 (12%) in the germinal matrix. The tumours were excised through the longitudinal incision in 31 (55.3%) patients and transverse incision in 25 (44.7%). One (1.8%) tumour was intraosseous that was diagnosed intraoperatively and excised successfully. Average follow-up was 35.4 months (range: 6-120 months). There was no difference in outcomes (pain or nail deformity) between the two incisions. One patient (1.8%) has persistent pain that was due to a missed satellite lesion in the same digit.

We sought to compare total healthcare cost and utilisation for operative and nonoperative treatments of thumb CMC arthritis. <b>Methods:</b> We conducted a retrospective longitudinal analysis using a large nationwide insurance claims database. A total of 18,705 patients underwent CMC arthroplasty (trapeziectomy with or without ligament reconstruction tendon interposition) or steroid injections between 1 October 2015 and 31 December 2018. Primary outcomes, healthcare utilisation and costs were measured from 1 year pre-intervention to 3 years post-intervention. Generalised linear mixed effect models adjusted for potentially confounding factors such as the Elixhauser comorbidity score with propensity score matching were applied to evaluate the association between the primary outcomes and treatment type. <b>Results:</b> A total of 13,646 patients underwent treatment through steroid injections, and 5,059 patients underwent CMC arthroplasty. At 1 year preoperatively, the surgery group required $635 more healthcare costs (95% CI [594.28, 675.27]; <i>p</i> < 0.001) and consumed 42% more healthcare utilisation (95% CI [1.38, 1.46]; <i>p</i> < 0.0001) than the steroid injection group.
