Read Full License Page 1/16 Abstract Background: In light of the new circumstances caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic, an enhanced knowledge of hand injury patterns may help with prevention in factories as well as the management of related medical conditions. Methods: A sample of 95 patients were admitted to an orthopedics department with an emergent hand injury within half a year of the COVID-19 outbreak. Data were collected between January 23rd, 2020 and July 23rd, 2020. Information was collected regarding demographics, type of injury, location, side of lesions, mechanism of injuries, place where the injuries occurred, surgical management, and outcomes. Results: The number of total emergency visits due to hand injury during the COVID-19 outbreak decreased 37% when compared to the same period in the previous year. At the same time, work resumption injuries increased 40%. In comparison to the corresponding period in the previous year, most injured patients during the COVID-19 outbreak were women (60%) with a mean age of 56.7, while during the work resumption stage, most were men (82.4%) with a mean age of 44.8.

Potuijt and journals.sagepub.com/home/jhs Christianne A. van Nieuwenhoven1 Abstract Triphalangeal thumb is a rare congenital anomaly in which the thumb has three phalanges. Clinical presen- tation of triphalangeal thumb can vary considerably and can be present in both hands or unilateral. The thumb can be long with a Enger-like appearance. The presence of clinodactyly depends on the shape of the extra phalanx varying from wedge-shaped to rectangular. Various joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons of the Erst ray can be hypoplastic or absent, with varying degrees of stiffness or instability. The aim of surgical treatment is to reconstruct or correct the anatomic anomalies to obtain greater function and a more accept- able appearance. In our series, operations varied from removal of the delta phalanx with ligament recon- struction to multiple osteotomies and rebalancing of soft tissues. Results in these often complex cases can be rewarding if the surgeon has sufEcient knowledge of the underlying anatomic differences. This review sum- marizes our current concepts of presentation and management of the triphalangeal thumb.

Yancosek Lexington, Kentucky Director: Carl Mattacola, PhD, ATC Lexington, Kentucky 2010 Copyright © Kathleen E. Yancosek 2010 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION INJURY-INDUCED HAND DOMINANCE TRANSFER Hand dominance is the preferential use of one hand over the other for motor tasks. 90% of people are right-hand dominant, and the majority of injuries (acute and cumulative trauma) occur to the dominant limb, creating a double-impact injury whereby a person is left in a functional state of single-handedness and must rely on the less- dexterous, non-dominant hand. When loss of dominant hand function is permanent, a forced shift of dominance is termed injury-induced hand dominance transfer (I-IHDT).

    Radio-Luno-Triquetral Bone-Ligament Transfer As an Additional Stabilizer

    Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery https://doi.org/10.1007/s00402-020-03690-2 HANDSURGERY Radio‑luno‑triquetral bone‑ligament transfer as an additional stabilizer in scapholunate‑instability Luzian C. P. Haug1 · Tom Adler1 · Dietmar Bignion1 · Esther Voegelin1 Received: 23 April 2020 / Accepted: 11 November 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Introduction Reconstruction of the scapho-lunate (SL) ligament is still challenging. Many diferent techniques, such as capsulodesis, tendon graft and bone-ligament-bone graft have been described to stabilize reducible SL dissociation. If primary ligament repair alone is not possible, an additional stabilizer is needed to achieve scapho-lunate stability. A new local bone-ligament transfer using half of the radio-luno-triquetral ligament is performed. The direction of traction of the transposed ligament is very similar to the original ligament. Ideal tension can be attained by fxation of the bone block at the dorsal ridge of the scaphoid. The biomechanical stability of this bone-ligament transfer shall be examined biomechanically. Material and methods Computed tomography imaging was performed using eight cadaveric forearms with a defned posi- tion of the wrist. Axial load was accomplished with tension springs attached to the extensor and fexor tendons. Three series ([a] native, [b] divided SL ligament and [c]) after reconstruction with bone-ligament transfer] were reconstructed three- dimensionally to determine the angles between radius, scaphoid and lunate. The radial distal part including a bone fragment of the radio-luno-triquetral ligament was transferred from its insertion at the distal edge of the radius to be attached to the dorsal ridge of the scaphoid.

Abstract Background The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiological midterm results of a combined dorsal tenodesis–capsulodesis for static and reducible scapho- lunate dissociation (SLD). Patients and Methods We evaluated 20 of 22 consecutive patients with static SLD minimum with follow-up of 2 years operated between 2003 and 2012. The mean age was 40 years (range: 23–65 years). Seventeen were men. Final evaluation included comparative wrist range of motion (ROM) and grip strength, pre- and postoperative pain and function by visual analog scale, and QuickDASH and Wrightington scores. Radio- graphs included preoperative, early postoperative, and final X-rays. Scapholunate space (SLS) and scapholunate and radioscaphoid angles (SLA and RSA) were measured. Statistical significance was evaluated with Student t-test, considered significant when p < 0.05. Results Mean follow-up was 67 months (range: 24–126 months). Mean final ROM was: flexion 55 degrees (73%), extension 62 degrees (90%), radial deviation 19 degrees (82%), and ulnar deviation 44 degrees (90%).

No statement or presentation made is to be regarded as dedicated to the public domain. Precourse 12: Athletic Injuries of the Upper Extremity: The Adolescent to the Adult - The Amateur to the Professional The treatment of the injured athlete remains a continued challenge. The skeletally immature, the weekend warrior, the high-level amateur and the professional athlete all pose specific difficulties for the hand surgeon in treating the injury. Ultimately, however, the surgeon is nearly always faced with the goal of early return to play with minimal risk. This goal must be balanced with the chance of re-injury and lasting damage to the patient. The purpose of this pre-course is to offer an up-to-date review of hand, wrist and forearm injuries in the athlete, emphasizing pertinent anatomy, mechanism of injury, conservative and operative treatment and safe return to play. Lectures given by noted faculty will be divided into anatomic modules with attention to bone, ligament, tendon and miscellaneous topics. Case presentations will initiate each talk followed by a concise presentation on the specific topic emphasizing potential differences between the adolescent and the adult and the amateur versus the pro.

    Searching for Information on Occupational Accidents

    SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION ON OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Shih-Kwang Chen, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Philip J. Smith, Adviser Professor Jerald R. Brevick Adviser Professor Steven A. Lavender Industrial and Systems Engineering Graduate Program Copyright by Shih-Kwang Chen 2008 ABSTRACT Effective retrieval of the most relevant documents on the topic of interest from the Internet is difficult due to the large amount of information in all types of formats. Studies have been conducted on ways to improve information retrieval (IR). One approach to improve searches in large collections, such as the Web, is to take advantage of semantic representations in pre-existing relational databases that have been developed for explicit purposes besides supporting Internet searches in general. In an effort to enhance IR on the Internet, a prototype of a topic-oriented search agent, SAOA-1, was developed to use embedded semantics and domain-specific knowledge extracted from such a database. Activated when a set of retrieved keywords appears related to the topic of “occupational accidents”, SAOA-1 constructs an alternative search query and pruned lists of suggested refinements by applying the search engine knowledge and the domain- specific knowledge and semantics extracted from a relational database. Information seekers could then use the alternative search query or refine it further with a modified search query developed by SAOA-1 based on its semantic representation of the topic of occupational accidents to complete context-sensitive pruning of the semantic neighborhood.
