The Hook Test Is Not Pathognomonic for Foveal Detachment of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Open
Background The integrity of the foveal insertion of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is currently assessed by inference using the hook test. Using dry arthroscopic techniques, the primary author observed that many patients with…

Arthroscopic Bone Graft and Internal Fixation of Non-Union of the Proximal Pole of the Scaphoid: Surgical Technique and Outcomes Open
Background Fractures of the proximal pole of the scaphoid have been associated with delayed union, non-union, and avascular necrosis. This has been attributed to avascularity of the proximal pole of the scaphoid. While proximal pole non-un…

Dry Arthroscopy Distal Radioulnar Joint and Foveal Insertion: Surgical Technique Open
Background Arthroscopy of the distal radioulnar joint is considered to be difficult to perform. At this time the integrity of the foveal insertion is indirectly evaluated with a hook test. If a hook test is positive it is inferred that the…

Flexor Pollicis Longus Rupture in a Scaphoid Nonunion: A Case Report Open
Background Flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon rupture is a rare complication of scaphoid nonunion. Case Description A fit active 70-year-old woman ruptured her FPL when it abraded on a painless 50-year-old scaphoid nonunion. She had asymp…

Diffuse glioneuronal tumour with oligodendroglioma‐like features and nuclear clusters (DGONC) – a molecularly defined glioneuronal CNS tumour class displaying recurrent monosomy 14 Open
Aims DNA methylation‐based central nervous system (CNS) tumour classification has identified numerous molecularly distinct tumour types, and clinically relevant subgroups among known CNS tumour entities that were previously thought to repr…
