Current treatment guidelines describe the role of conservative treatments including cervical collars and neurotropic medications, as well as spinal surgery in select patients. Upper extremity surgery has not yet been incorporated into the treatment algorithm of HD. The objective of this study is twofold: to present a case series of HD patients treated with the incorporation of nerve and tendon transfers and joint fusions into the existing treatment algorithm and to perform a literature review of interventions.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Three cases (4 limbs) of HD treated surgically with nerve and tendon transfers and fusion are retrospectively reviewed. The subjective and objective results from surgery are reported. A literature review is performed on PubMed using \"Hirayama disease\" and \"peripheral nerve surgery,\" \"nerve transfer,\" \"tendon transfer,\" \"hand surgery,\" or \"upper extremity surgery\" as search terms to identify studies describing surgical treatment of HD outside of spinal surgery.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Three HD patients (4 limbs) were identified.

Two patients (3 limbs) were treated with an anterior interosseous (AIN) to ulnar motor nerve transfer, whereas a patient with delayed presentation underwent thumb metacarpophalangeal joint fusion and a Zancolli lasso to the fingers. All patients had subjective and objective improvements postoperation.The literature reveals three independent case reports of HD patients treated with upper extremity surgery.

Given the crucial role of collaboration in research productivity and securing grant funding, it becomes imperative to investigate whether gender disparities affect collaboration for female authors in plastic surgery. In this study, we explore how gender influences academic collaboration among plastic surgeons, according to impact factor (IF), overall rates of collaboration, and the departments with which they collaborate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;PubMed was queried for all articles from academic plastic surgery programs between 2018 and 2023. Collaborative articles were defined as a plastic surgery senior author with at least one author who was not from the same plastic surgery department. The senior author affiliation was used to select articles from academic plastic surgery departments. The first and senior author's gender were determined using Gender-API, a validated approach to assigning gender based on first name. Associations with gender and research impact variables were assessed, including publishing journals and their IF. Gender predominance in a collaborating specialty was determined by the AAMC 2021 Physician Specialty Data Report.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;A total of 21,068 articles were initially retrieved, 14,590 articles were reviewed after removal of duplicates, and 6525 articles qualified for inclusion. Gender-API was able to identify 98% of authors as male or female. A total of 17.2% of publications were led by female authors and 38.3% had a female first author (χ2 = 691.21, P &lt; 0.0001). The proportions engaging in collaboration were similar, 18.3% and 37.9%, respectively. While female senior authors in plastic surgery have fewer publications (3.83 ± 7.31 vs 5.88 ± 11.1, P &lt; 0.001) we found that the average journal IF was significantly greater in female-led articles (3.84 ± 6.11 vs 3.35 ± 4.60, P = 0.009) than in male led articles.Female senior authors were more likely to publish collaborations with specialties that had a higher proportion of women (χ2 = 5.30, P = 0.021); for example, 2.86% (n = 1) of collaborations with cardiothoracic surgery were with women (odds ratio = 0.130, P = 0.0138) and 35.6% (n = 5) of collaborations with endocrinology were with women (odds ratio = 2.38, P = 0.155).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;We demonstrate the nuanced effect of collaboration on research productivity for female authors in plastic surgery. In particular, female plastic surgery senior authorship and overall collaboration coincides with the gender proportions in the field. Furthermore, female senior authors in plastic surgery published in significantly higher IF journals.
