The purposes of this study are to: (1) characterize the demographic trends of individuals undergoing WA and WF; (2) determine the incidence of postoperative infection; and (3) identify risk factors for postoperative infection. Methods: The PearlDiver database was used to query 100% Medicare Standard Analytic files from 2005 to 2014. Patients undergoing WA or radiocarpal WF were identified using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. Diagnosis for infection within 1 year of operative intervention was assessed by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes or CPT codes related to infection. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the risk factors for postoperative infection. Results: Of the 6641 patients included, 1137 (17.1%) underwent arthroplasty and 5504 (82.9%) underwent arthrodesis. Within 1 year of the index procedure, 3.5% had a diagnosis of, or procedure for, postoperative infection (WA: n = 40 of 1137; WF: n = 192 of 5504). Risk factors for infection following WA include age >85, tobacco use, depression, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease. Risk factors following radiocarpal WF include male sex, age >85, body mass index <19 kg/m2, depression, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease. Posttraumatic origin of wrist arthritis was a risk factor for infection following both WA and WF. Conclusions: Infection following WA and WF is relatively uncommon in a nationally representative Medicare database cohort. Risk factors common to both WA and WF include age >85, depression, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and posttraumatic arthritis.","PeriodicalId":76630,"journal":{"name":"The Hand","volume":"16 1","pages":"657 - 663"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1558944719890036","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45446333","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}

Methods: Thirty-four consecutive trigger fingers occurring in 28 unique patients who met inclusion/exclusion criteria were consented and enrolled into this double-blind randomized controlled study. Patients were randomly assigned to the control (JNFS loaded with sterile normal saline) or treatment group (JNFS loaded with buffered 1% lidocaine). Both the fellowship-trained hand surgeon and patient were blinded to the allocation group. Prior to each trigger finger injection, each patient rated pain associated with stubbing toe and papercut on the visual analog scale (VAS), in addition to a postprocedure VAS pain score. Results: A total of 28 patients and 34 digits were enrolled in this study. There was no difference in patient demographics or preintervention pain perception between the control and treatment groups. The use of JNFS demonstrated lower mean pain VAS score when comparing the control group (n = 17) with the treatment group (n = 17), with VAS pain scores of 49 (SD = 31) and 39 (SD = 36), respectively. However, this difference was not statistically significant (P = .389). Conclusions: The use of JNFS loaded with 1% buffered lidocaine may reduce pain associated with trigger finger injections, although our results did not find a statistically significant difference. We hypothesize that the pain caused by the acidity of lidocaine is the primary driver of pain and discomfort during injection, and the pain from the needle stick is secondary. As a result, any pain reduction from JNFS is masked by the most painful part of injection—the delivery of injectate. Based on the findings and experience obtained from this study, we hypothesize that a follow-up study using buffered lidocaine may be able to better reveal the benefits of JNFS.","PeriodicalId":76630,"journal":{"name":"The Hand","volume":"16 1","pages":"776 - 780"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1558944719890035","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41748257","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}

Health systems can minimize these extra costs by constraining diagnostic (eg, magnetic resonance imaging utilization) or treatment options with debatable necessity in the setting of clinical equipoise. Instead of restricting more expensive treatments, it is plausible that health systems could instead recoup the extra costs of these treatments by charging patients supplementary out-of-pocket charges (cost sharing). The primary aim of this exploratory study was to assess hand surgery patient willingness to pay supplementary out-of-pocket charges for a procedure that theoretically leads to an earlier return to work or smaller incisions when there are 2 procedures that lead to similar results (clinical equipoise). Methods: A total of 122 patients completed a questionnaire that included demographic information, a financial distress assessment, a series of scenarios asking patients the degree to which they are willing to pay extra for the procedure choice, as well as their perspective of how much insurers should be responsible for these additional costs. Results: Patients were willing to pay out-of-pocket to some degree for a procedure that leads to earlier return to work and smaller incision size when compared with a similar alternative procedure, but noted that insurers should bear a greater burden of costs. Approximately 10% of patients were willing to pay maximum amounts ($2500+) for earlier return to work (3, 7, and 14 days earlier) and smaller incision sizes of any length. Conclusions: Some patients may be willing to pay out-of-pocket and cost share for procedures that lead to earlier return to work and smaller incisions in the setting of clinical equipoise. As such, when developing and implementing alternative payment models, health systems could potentially offer services with debatable necessity in the setting of equipoise for a supplementary out-of-pocket charge.","PeriodicalId":76630,"journal":{"name":"The Hand","volume":"16 1","pages":"811 - 817"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1558944719890039","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45662788","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}

However, there is great variation in the setting, care pathway, anesthetic, and cost. We compared the institutional cost for isolated TFR before and after redesigning our clinical care pathway. Methods: Total direct cost to the health system (excluding the surgeon and anesthesiology costs) and time spent by the patient at the surgery center were collected for 1 hand surgeon’s procedures at an ambulatory surgery center over a 3-year period. We implemented a redesigned pathway that altered phases of care and anesthetic use by transitioning from intravenous (IV) sedation to wide awake local anesthesia with no tourniquet. Cost data were reported as percentage change in the median and compared both pre- to post-implementation and with 2 control surgeons using the traditional pathway within the same center. Power analysis was based on prior work on a carpal tunnel pathway. Significance was defined by a P-value < .05. Results: Ten TFRs (90% local with IV sedation) and 44 TFRs (89% local alone) were performed pre- and post-implementation, respectively. From pre- to post-implementation, the study surgeon’s total direct cost decreased by 18%, while the control surgeons decreased by 2%. Median time spent at the surgery center decreased by 41 minutes post-implementation with significantly shorter setup time in the operating room (OR), total time in the OR, and time spent in recovery prior to discharge. Conclusions: Redesigning the care pathway for TFR led to a decrease in institutional cost and patient time spent at the surgery center.","PeriodicalId":76630,"journal":{"name":"The Hand","volume":"16 1","pages":"624 - 631"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1558944719884661","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46805157","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}

Although the injectable solution is often prepared with a local anesthetic, we hypothesize that patients receiving an injection with anesthetic will experience more pain at the time of injection. Methods: C Patients with trigger finger were prospectively randomized into 2 cohorts to receive triamcinolone (1 mL, 40 mg) plus 1% lidocaine with epinephrine (1 mL) or triamcinolone (1 mL, 40 mg) plus normal saline (1 mL, placebo). Both patient and surgeon were blinded to the treatment arm. The primary outcome was pain measured using a (VAS) immediately following the injection. Results: Seventy-three patients with a total of 110 trigger fingers were enrolled (57 lidocaine with epinephrine and 53 placebo). Immediate postinjection pain scores were significantly higher for injections containing lidocaine with epinephrine compared with placebo (VAS 3.5 vs 2.0). Conclusions: In the treatment of trigger finger, corticosteroid injections are effective and have relatively little associated pain. This study shows there is more injection-associated pain when lidocaine with epinephrine is included with the corticosteroid. Therefore, surgeons looking to decrease injection pain should exclude the anesthetic, but they should discuss the trade-off of foregoing short-term anesthesia with patients. Using only a single drug (ie, corticosteroid alone) is not only less painful but is also more simple, efficient, and safe; this has therefore become our preferred treatment method.","PeriodicalId":76630,"journal":{"name":"The Hand","volume":"16 1","pages":"619 - 623"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1558944719884663","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42541641","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}

The primary objective of this study was to identify factors associated with poor outcomes in patients with acute forearm compartment syndrome. Methods: We retrospectively identified 130 patients with acute compartment syndrome of 130 forearms treated with fasciotomies from January 2000 to June 2015 at 2 Level 1 trauma centers. Poor outcome was defined as a composite variable, including: (1) death; (2) limb amputation; (3) persistent neurological deficit; and (4) contracture. Patient- and treatment-related variables were collected. Bivariate analyses were used to screen for variables associated with poor outcome, and explanatory variables with a value of P < .05 were included in our multivariable logistic regression analyses. Results: Of the 130 patients, 43 (33%) with acute forearm compartment syndrome had poor outcomes, including 5 deaths, 5 limb amputations, 21 persistent neurological deficits, and 31 contractures. Multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that elevated serum creatine kinase at presentation (P < .05) was associated with poor outcomes in patients with acute forearm compartment syndrome. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that a serum creatine kinase cutoff of 300 U/L yields 92% sensitivity and a serum creatine kinase cutoff of 10 000 U/L yields 95% specificity for poor outcomes in acute forearm compartment syndrome. Conclusions: Elevated creatine kinase levels above 300 U/L are a useful screening test for the highest risk patients with acute forearm compartment syndrome.

More work is needed to further our understanding of metacarpal anatomy to improve fixation techniques and reduce postoperative complications following surgical implants. The purpose of this anatomic study was to evaluate the length, midshaft metaphyseal width, and area of the articular surface of the head (AH) and base (AB) of metacarpals 1 to 5. Methods: This prospective study assessed measures from 17 cadavers at 1 institution’s anatomy lab. The anatomic dimensions of the metacarpals in both the right and left hands were measured. Epidemiological data including sex and age at death were also collected. Results: In all, 29 hands were dissected for metacarpal anatomic measurements, for a total of 145 metacarpals. The second metacarpal was longest, at 69.58 mm. Multivariate analysis of variance revealed a significant effect of sex overall, with greater metacarpal dimensions in men. Increasing age was associated with decreasing dimensions, except for AH of metacarpal 1 (F = 3.43, P = .02) and AB of metacarpal 1 (F = 11.54, P < .001) and 4 (F = 4.21, P = .01).

Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed data from 152 adults receiving surgical and nonsurgical care for unilateral thumb CMC arthritis at a single institution between January 2016 and January 2018. Patients completed PROMIS PF v1.2/2.0 CAT at each visit. At follow-up, patients also completed two 6-item anchor questions assessing the degree of perceived improvement. Statistical testing analyzed the ability of the clinical anchor to discriminate levels of improvement. An anchor-based MCID estimate was calculated as the mean PROMIS PF change score in the mild improvement group. The anchor-based MCID value was examined for the influence of patient age, initial and final PROMIS scores, and follow-up interval. A distribution-based MCID value was calculated incorporating the standard error of measurement and effect size. Results: The change in PROMIS PF scores was significantly different between encounters where patients reported no change, mild improvement, and much improvement. The anchor-based MCID estimate for PROMIS PF was 3.9 (95% confidence interval, 3.3-4.7). Individual MCID values were weakly correlated with the final absolute PROMIS PF score but did not correlate with patient age, time between visits, or the initial absolute PROMIS PF score. The distribution-based MCID value was 3.5 (95% confidence interval, 3.1-3.9). Conclusions: The estimated range of MCID values for PROMIS PF is 3.5 to 3.9 points in patients treated for thumb CMC arthritis.","PeriodicalId":76630,"journal":{"name":"The Hand","volume":"16 1","pages":"638 - 643"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1558944719880025","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46559706","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}
