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.

Review Comparative Study
Comparison of above- and below-elbow casting for pediatric distal metaphyseal forearm fractures.
-
To assess the overall morbidity of cat bites to the hand and identify risk factors for hospitalization after such an injury. ⋯ Therapeutic III.
-
To explore the incidence of failure of continuous peripheral nerve blockade (CPNB) after upper extremity operations. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.
