The superficial radial nerve and its branches are vulnerable during surgery for de Quervain tenovaginitis. We studied the proximity of the nerve branches to the first extensor compartment. ⋯ The close relation of the superficial radial nerve and its lateral dorsal digital branch to the thumb with the first extensor compartment may guide surgeons during surgery for de Quervain tenovaginitis.

In patients with primary cubital tunnel syndrome, we hypothesize that using a vascularized adipose sling to secure the ulnar nerve during anterior subcutaneous transposition will lead to improved patient outcomes. The adipose flap is designed to surround the ulnar nerve with a pliable, vascularized fat envelope, mimicking the natural fatty environment of peripheral nerves. This technique may offer advantages in securing the anteriorly transposed ulnar nerve and reducing instances of postoperative perineural scarring. Patients experience good functional outcomes; most experience resolution of symptoms.

Comparative Study
Comparison of screw trajectory on stability of oblique scaphoid fractures: a mechanical study.
To determine whether a screw placed perpendicular to the fracture line in an oblique scaphoid fracture will provide fixation strength that is comparable with that of a centrally placed screw. ⋯ Compared with a screw placed centrally in an oblique scaphoid fracture, a screw placed perpendicular to the fracture line allows the use of a shorter screw without sacrificing strength of fixation.

To evaluate a stepwise reduction algorithm including closed, percutaneous, and open reduction techniques followed by percutaneous pin fixation for displaced pediatric phalangeal neck fractures. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.
