To examine the effect of volar angulation deformities of the distal radius with and without triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) rupture on forearm range of motion and the kinematics of the ulnar head at the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) during simulated active forearm rotation. ⋯ This study demonstrated the importance of correcting volar angulation deformities of the distal radius to less than 20° in order to maintain normal range of forearm rotation and to less than 10° to maintain normal DRUJ kinematics when the TFCC is ruptured.

To assess the results of a hybrid Russe procedure using a corticocancellous strut, cancellous autologous nonvascularized bone graft, and cannulated headless compression screw to reduce the deformity reliably from a collapsed scaphoid nonunion, provide osteoinductive stimulus, and stabilize the fracture for predictable union. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.

To analyze the anatomical feasibility of transferring a motor branch nerve to the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) to the triceps upper medial head motor branch (UMHM) and to report the resultant outcome of the restoration of elbow extension in 5 patients with extensive brachial plexus injury. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.
