Sensory Neurotization of the Ulnar Nerve, Surgical Techniques and Functional Outcomes: A Review.

When ulnar nerve lesions happen above the wrist level, sensation recovery after acute repair or nerve grafting is often challenging. Distal sensory nerve transfers may be an option for overcoming these sequelae. However, little data has been published on this topic.

High-resolution sonographic study of the communicating branch of Berrettini: an anatomical feasibility study.

Sensory changes are common manifestations of nerve complications of carpal tunnel surgery. Division or contusion of a superficial communicating branch between the median nerve and the ulnar nerve, the communicating branch of Berrettini, can explain these symptoms. The aim of this study was to describe the potential value of high-resolution sonography to examine this branch.

Total Elbow Arthroplasty in an Older Patient with a Forearm Amputation: A Case Report in a Spastic Elbow.

Introduction: Total elbow arthroplasty is a common procedure in older patients after comminuted distal humerus fractures. However, in patients with a forearm amputation, this treatment indication is less obvious.

Case Report: We report the case of an older spastic patient with bilateral forearm amputation for whom we performed a total elbow arthroplasty for a complex left distal humerus fracture.

Distal sensory disorders in Dupuytren's disease.

Purpose: Dupuytren's disease is a common and disabling condition. Its pathophysiology is not well understood. Some patients complain of postoperative loss of fingertip sensitivity that could be due either to the surgery or to the disease itself.

Infectious flexor hand tenosynovitis: State of knowledge. A study of 120 cases.

Introduction: Since Kanavel in 1905, knowledge of phlegmon of flexor tendon sheaths of the fingers have evolved over the twentieth century. This serious infection is 20% of infections of the hand and may have adverse consequences for the function of the finger and even beyond, of the hand. Amputation is always a risk.

Dupuytren's disease and needle aponeurotomy: rupture of a deep common flexor tendon: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: The Percutaneous Needle Aponeurotomy (PNA) is a known and validated non-surgical treatment for Dupuytren's disease with a low rate of complications. Initially described for purely palmar forms, the indications extended to digital adhesions. Numerous surgeons remain hesitant about performing the PNA for digital treatment because of the risk of lesions in the noble structures.

Terrorist attacks in Paris: Surgical trauma experience in a referral center.

Background: On November 13th, 2015, terrorist bomb explosions and gunshots occurred in Paris, France, with 129 people immediately killed, and more than 300 being injured. This article describes the staff organization, surgical management, and patterns of injuries in casualties who were referred to the Teaching European Hospital Georges Pompidou.

Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of the pre-hospital response and the in-hospital response in our referral trauma center.

Dynamic Three-Dimensional Shoulder Mri during Active Motion for Investigation of Rotator Cuff Diseases.

Background: MRI is the standard methodology in diagnosis of rotator cuff diseases. However, many patients continue to have pain despite treatment, and MRI of a static unloaded shoulder seems insufficient for best diagnosis and treatment. This study evaluated if Dynamic MRI provides novel kinematic data that can be used to improve the understanding, diagnosis and best treatment of rotator cuff diseases.

Terrible triad of the elbow: treatment protocol and outcome in a series of eighteen cases.

The terrible triad is an uncommon injury, which includes an elbow posterior dislocation with fractures of the radial head and coronoid process of the ulna. In addition there is rupture of the lateral and medial collateral ligaments. The short-term and long term results are historically poor, with a high rate of complications.

New dynamic three-dimensional MRI technique for shoulder kinematic analysis.

Purpose: To establish a new imaging technique using dynamic MRI three-dimensional (3D) volumetric acquisition in real-time, on six normal shoulders for the analysis of the 3D shoulder kinematics during continuous motion.

Materials And Methods: At first, a standard static acquisition was performed. Then, fast images were obtained with a multi-slice 3D balanced gradient echo sequence to get a real time series during the initial phase of shoulder abduction.
