Learning objectives

+ Become able to evaluate the effectiveness of Wide-Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) compared to General Anesthesia (GA) in hand fracture fixation, specifically in terms of pain management, surgical time, and functional recovery outcomes.

+ Understand the relationship between preoperative electrodiagnostic testing and postoperative functional outcomes in patients with cubital tunnel syndrome, and recognize the implications for clinical evaluation and management strategies.

+ Become able to critically evaluate the effectiveness and implications of using Wide Awake Local Anesthesia Without Tourniquet (WALANT) versus traditional tourniquet methods in intraoperative hemostasis for carpal tunnel and trigger finger surgeries, enabling informed decision-making in clinical practice.

+ Understand the recurrence rates and risk factors associated with Giant Cell Tumors of Bone in the hand, and recognize the importance of surgical techniques and preoperative assessments in optimizing patient outcomes.

+ Understand the comparative effectiveness and efficiency of Suture Suspensionplasty versus Ligament Reconstruction and Tendon Interposition in the surgical treatment of thumb carpometacarpal arthritis, including their impact on patient-reported outcomes and surgical times.
