A Keendoc selection

Hand Surgery 2024-2

This selection reviews surgical techniques for thumb and wrist conditions: total joint arthroplasty for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis, pyrocarbon implants for STT arthritis, rehabilitation protocols post-arthroplasty, and the impact of longer-acting local anesthetics on postoperative pain after carpal tunnel release, providing insights into outcomes and management practices.

+ Become able to understand the clinical outcomes and implications of using the Scaphoid Trapezium Pyrocarbon Implant (STPI) for treating scapho-trapezium osteoarthritis (STT-OA), including its benefits, limitations, and the significance of revision rates in long-term patient care.

+ Understand the clinical applications and advantages of the dorsoproximal interphalangeal island flap technique in managing soft tissue defects, specifically in the context of repair for palmar scar contractures resulting from burn injuries and congenital anomalies such as syndactyly.

+ Become able to evaluate the effectiveness of combining bupivacaine with lidocaine in improving postoperative pain management and patient outcomes following carpal tunnel release surgery.
