Article Abstract
We present a rare case of stress fracture of the second metacarpal bone. A 14-year-old girl felt pain on the dorsal aspect of the right wrist without any history of major trauma, when she played a smash during a game of badminton. On the radiographs, periosteal reaction was detected on the ulnar aspect of the base of the second metacarpal bone. She was treated conservatively and she returned to the original activity level.

Reconstructing multi-tissue defects in the finger remains a significant challenge in hand surgery. We present the case of a 37-year-old man with segmental loss of bone, skin and extensor apparatus on the dorsal aspect of the index finger. A single stage reconstruction was successfully performed using a pedicled chimeric flap based on the second dorsal metacarpal artery combining skin paddle, second metacarpal base bone and the extensor indicis proprius.

Purpose: Osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint is very common, especially in females, and is closely associated with ligamentous laxity and joint subluxation. The dorsoradial ligament (DRL) remains largely unexplored in ultrasound studies despite its clinical relevance. This study aimed to identify the central fascicle of the DRL anatomically and ultrasonographically and to establish a standardized ultrasound examination protocol.

Background: Trapeziectomy with partial trapezoid excision is a common procedure for scapho-trapezio-trapezoidal osteoarthritis (STT OA). This study seeks to determine the impact of performing partial trapezoidectomy in the treatment of STT OA.
Methods: An IRB-approved retrospective review of patients who received trapeziectomy for isolated STT OA was conducted.

Objective: To investigate the site specificity and differences of the Hegu (LI4) located on the midpoint of the second metacarpal and the point where the bases of the first and second metacarpal bones on the dorsum was historically used as Hegu (LI4) in Japan, through morphological, biomechanical, and histological analyses.
Methods: We defined distally located Hegu (LI4) as Hegu (LI4)-D and proximally located Hegu (LI4) as Hegu (LI4)-P. The distance from the skin surface to the blood vessels as well as the biomechanical properties of the two Hegu (LI4) samples were measured using an ultrasound device and MyotonPRO (MyotonAS, Tallinn, Estonia), respectively, in 20 healthy adult volunteers.
