In this retrospective case series, the outcomes of 12 patients treated for an unreconstructable scaphoid nonunion with a 3-D-printed prosthesis were evaluated. Patient-reported outcomes, range of motion, grip strength and plain radiographs were assessed pre- and postoperatively. The mean follow-up was 2 years and 8 months. Range of movement and patient-reported outcome scores improved postoperatively, although improvement in movement was not significant. Except for one, all implants showed satisfactory alignment on radiographs without any further degenerative changes. 3-D-printed titanium scaphoid replacement may be an alternative to salvage procedures for unreconstructable scaphoid nonunion.Level of evidence: IV","PeriodicalId":54813,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hand Surgery-European Volume","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142266539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A retrospective observational study was conducted of infants with OBPP seen between 2008 and 2020 (<i>n</i> = 321). The index of multiple deprivation (IMD) was used to assign an IMD rank to patients based on birth postcode and the relationship with OBPP was analysed, including deprivation, gestational diabetes, age at referral and at first assessment. Quintile-based analysis demonstrated over-representation of patients from more deprived neighbourhoods (<i>n</i> = 109, 39%) living in the top 20% most deprived neighbourhoods. A total of 48 (15%) mothers had diabetes and 98 (31%) infants underwent surgical brachial plexus exploration (a marker of disease severity). Neither diabetes, age at referral nor age at first assessment were associated with IMD score. This suggests that neighbourhood deprivation is associated with OBPP, though the mechanisms are unclear.
