Which would you choose again? Comparison of trapeziometacarpal implant versus resection arthroplasty in the same patient.

We invited 14 women who had undergone implant arthroplasty in one thumb and resection-suspension-interposition arthroplasty (RSIA) in the other to a follow-up visit at a median time of 2.2 and 6.2 years after implant and RSIA, respectively.

Neuropathic pain of the superficial branch of the radial nerve - Factors influencing surgical outcome and patient satisfaction.

Background: Due to its partially superficial course, the superficial branch of the radial nerve is vulnerable to injury by trauma or surgery, potentially leading to painful neuroma. Surgical treatment is difficult. Among other factors, smoking and duration of pain before revision surgery have been suggested as risk factors for persistent pain after surgical revision, without concrete evidence.

A Photosealed Cap Prevents Disorganized Axonal Regeneration and Neuroma following Nerve Transection in Rats.

Unlabelled: Neuroma is a common sequela of traumatic peripheral nerve injury that can result in pain and decreased quality of life for patients. Neuromas result from axonal outgrowth in an attempt to reestablish continuity with the disrupted distal nerve end. Photosealing is a light-activated technique whereby tissues can be securely isolated in a strong and secure manner.
