Article Abstract
Background: Although there are numerous skin closure methods, there is no special method for suturing triangular skin wounds. The authors have summarized and modified their experience with a 3-dimensional (3D) continuous suturing technique for triangular wounds.
Methods: From December 2015 to September 2017, the 3D continuous suturing technique for triangular wounds has been used in 32 cleft lip repairs (48 surgical triangular incisions) and 11 cases of facial trauma (15 traumatic triangular wounds). The patients, 3 months to 39 years of age, had triangular flaps designed for esthetic purposes or triangular defects secondary to accidents. To evaluate the effectiveness of this technique, the mean follow-up was 7 months (range, 1-15 months).
Results: The 3D continuous suturing technique for triangular wounds can shorten the suturing time, decrease the number of thread knots, and shorten the time of surgery. All patients healed well and the stitches were removed 7 days postoperatively. The wound on both sides of the triangle was well arranged, with a good appearance and no scar hyperplasia.
Conclusions: Our experience showed that the 3D continuous suturing technique for triangular wounds is a time-saving and convenient method and can make the wounds closed tighter, more stable, and reliable. The technique can be applied to any type of triangular wounds or incisions and is not limited to the clinical scenarios described in this article.

Iliopubic rami morphology and its vascular relationships in percutaneous retrograde fixation.

Orthopaedics and Traumathology Department, ULS São João, Porto, Portugal.
Purpose: Pelvic ring fractures involving the iliopubic rami can cause functional impairment. Percutaneous retrograde fixation is a less invasive procedure when compared to traditional open approaches, however precise anatomical knowledge is crucial for safe screw placement. This study aims to describe the morphology of the iliopubic rami, define a safety corridor for percutaneous screw fixation, specially focusing on the relationships between the iliopubic rami and neurovascular structures.

Purpose: This overview summarized different interventions that were performed for minimizing periodontal defects distal to the mandibular second molar and improve hard and soft tissue healing after third molar surgery.
Methods: Literature search was conducted in the following 9 databases: Medline (via Pubmed), ScienceDirect, Scopus, Virtual Health Library, Wiley Online Library, Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global and Google Scholar. Systematic reviews with or without meta-analysis investigating the effect of different interventions on soft and hard tissue healing after third molar surgery were considered.

Introduction: Ulnar-sided wrist pain remains a diagnostic challenge due to its complex anatomy and broad differential diagnosis. This study evaluated the diagnostic role and therapeutic consequences of wrist arthroscopy in patients with ulnar-sided wrist pain and suspected triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesions.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients undergoing diagnostic wrist arthroscopy for suspected TFCC lesions based on clinical and imaging assessments between 2012 and 2021.

Hand Surgeon, private practice, Spain.
Wrist arthroscopy is a valuable tool in hand surgery. However, as with every tool, its use must be executed by the right hands with the right training and right instrumentation. In this article, four papers on arthroscopy were examined for their contribution to the literature and to reflect on the evolving role of arthroscopy in hand surgery.

Background: This study investigated the effectiveness of capsular suture repair for triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) in restoring distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) stability after plate fixation for distal radius fracture (DRF) combined with acute DRUJ instability, comparing the results of arthroscopic capsular suture with those of conservative treatment of TFCC injury.
Methods: Cases of DRF combined with DRUJ instability treated from January 2019 to December 2022 were reviewed retrospectively. After plate fixation of the distal radius fracture, patients with acute DRUJ instability were divided into two groups.
