This may be due to the remaining parts of the distal radioulnar ligament still attached providing sufficient residual stability of the distal radioulnar joint. We tested this hypothesis in a biomechanical cadaveric model. Dorsopalmar translation of the distal radioulnar joint and forearm rotation were measured. Seventeen specimens were tested after a simulated ulnar styloid fracture including the fovea, followed by transection of the remaining palmar (n = 9) or dorsal (n = 8) portions of the distal radioulnar ligament and finally with all remnants transected. Rotation and translation both increased significantly after the final transection compared with the foveal fracture. The increase in translation was larger after transection of the dorsal remnants. We conclude that in an ulnar styloid fracture including the fovea, some ligament components are still attached to the ulnar head, giving residual stability to the distal radioulnar joint.","PeriodicalId":73762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of hand surgery (Edinburgh, Scotland)","volume":"47 1","pages":"944 - 951"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43624824","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}

A second 2 cm incision is made in the crease of the popliteal fossa where identification of the proximal SN can be facilitated by gently moving the distal SN. Absence of motor response upon direct electrical stimulation is used for positive SN identification. The tibial and peroneal nerves are identified. The SN is dissected as far proximally as possible and then cut. The SN is then gently lead through the ankle incision and cut as far distally as possible. Both incisions are closed in a subcuticular fashion. A third mid-calf incision may be required for neurolysis at the level where the SN crosses through the fascia if it cannot be reached through the ankle incision. Since January 2000 we have used this technique to harvest one or two SNs as needed in approximately 400 infants with BPBI. Due to incomplete coding in our database, the exact number of patients or the number of SNs harvested per patient cannot be provided. Our surgical time to harvest one SN graft of 10–13 cm, from incision to wound dressing, has ranged between 35 to 55 minutes. We have found paracetamol to be sufficient in controlling postoperative pain in our series. Surgical scars have been barely visible using skin line incisions and subcuticular closure. Our postoperative complications included one superficial wound infection and one partial palsy of foot extension that resolved spontaneously. None of the patients required conversion to open dissection. Our modifications of supine positioning of the child allows synchronous brachial plexus exploration and SN nerve harvesting, thus reducing operating time. The decision to harvest one or two SNs can be made after assessment of the severity of the nerve lesion. The use of a Kilian nasal speculum provides an ideal working corridor to neurolyse the SN and helps to minimize the number of skin incisions.","PeriodicalId":73762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of hand surgery (Edinburgh, Scotland)","volume":"47 1","pages":"866 - 868"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41806671","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}

A smaller group may develop complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Finally, there are a small number of patients that do not follow any of these recognized paths and present instead with painless (usually), abnormal patterns of movement that can have significant effects on hand function. Although this abnormal ‘patterning’ is not well recognized or described in the hand literature, it has been described as a cause of chronic functional problems in the cervical spine, lumbar spine and knee (Hodges and Tucker, 2011; Sterling et al., 2001); and in the shoulder where it is known to be one of the causes of instability (Lewis et al., 2004).","PeriodicalId":73762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of hand surgery (Edinburgh, Scotland)","volume":"47 1","pages":"779 - 781"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43380565","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}

Hierarchical linear regression models were used to investigate patient and clinical characteristics associated with postoperative pain and hand function.
