Impact of Perioperative HbA1c Levels on Functional Outcomes Following Open Carpal Tunnel Release: A Prospective Study Open
Elevation of perioperative HbA1c levels in diabetic patients did not negatively affect surgical outcomes compared to non-diabetic patients. Both groups demonstrated significant functional improvements, with no notable differences in recove…

The effect of topical TRanexamic Acid versus placebo on acute postoperative pain following Distal Radius fracture fixation: protocol for a randomised controlled trial at a quaternary care hand surgery centre – The TRADR study Open
Introduction Postoperative pain management is a major concern for patients undergoing distal radius open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). Inadequate pain control negatively impacts patient’s satisfaction and may increase opioid use. Top…

Avascular Necrosis of the Hamate Treated with a 4–5 Extensor Compartmental Artery Graft: A Case Report and Literature Review Open
Introduction: Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hamate is an exceptionally rare condition, with limited cases reported in the literature. This case highlights the successful management of idiopathic hamate AVN using core decompression and a …

Intraoperative Detection of Screw Penetration Following Volar Plating of the Distal Radius: A Cadaveric Study Comparing Fluoroscopic Imaging and Ultrasound Open
Hardware prominence is one of the major established complications following volar plating of distal radius fractures. The purpose of this cadaveric study is to compare two conventional fluoroscopic imaging views (carpal shoot-through view …

Arthroscopic assisted versus open non-vascularized bone grafting in delayed union and nonunion of the scaphoid: a systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Background Delayed union and nonunion of the scaphoid is a common complication often requiring surgical reconstruction and bone grafting. Our goal was to systematically assess the healing time and clinical outcomes following arthroscopic-a…

The Role of Bone Grafting in Corrective Osteotomy of Distal Radius Malunions Open
Background It remains unclear whether bone grafting is required during corrective osteotomy of the distal radius. The goal of this systematic review is to determine the union, revision, and complication rates of bone grafting techniques as…

Is Tension Band Wire Fixation Superior to Plate Fixation for Simple Displaced Olecranon Fractures? A Randomized Trial With Median Follow-up of 7.5 Years Open
Background Surgeons disagree about the best surgical treatment for simple, displaced olecranon fractures. Although the tension band wiring technique and plate fixation are the most common surgical options for fixation, studies comparing bo…
