No full textCarpal Tunnel Syndrome Associated with Bifid Median Nerve and Palmaris Profundus - Case Report and Literature Review
Full text linkThe anatomic variations of the median nerve and of the muscles of the wrist have been widely reported in literature. It is essential for the surgeon to be familiar with these variations in order to avoid accidental injury to the nerve during surgery. We report a rare case of bifid median nerve accompanied by an anomalous tendon of palmaris profundus discovered during the surgical release of carpal tunnel. The transverse carpal ligament was dissected and the anomalous tendon was left in situ because any direct compression over the median nerve was noticed intraoperatively. The patient was evaluated one year postoperatively clinically and radiologically (with MRI). At the follow up the resolution of symptoms was complete and the sleep disturbance was solved. The patient achieved a postoperative QuickDASH score of 9.1 and a Michigan Hand Questionnaire outcome score of 90 points

No full textProposal of a New Dynamic Distraction Device to Treat Complex Periarticular Fractures of the Metacarpophalangeal Joint of Long Finger
No full textComplex periarticular fractures of the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) are often challenging to treat. Conservative and operative treatments are often burdened with stiffness, loss of function, and poor clinical outcome. These phenomena could be a direct consequence of long period of immobilization. To promote a short time of immobilization and a quick return to daily activities, it is mandatory to stabilize the fracture maintaining the active range of motion (AROM) of the ray. A simple solution is to reduce the fragments by means of dynamic ligamentotaxis. The authors propose a new dynamic distraction device (DDD) for the MCPJ.
METHODS:
The DDD for the MCPJ was made of Kirschner wires bent and connected to counteract dislocation forces and to allow mobilization of the joint. The DDD was tested on a cadaver model under a simulated load in physiological conditions, and also in metacarpal and proximal phalanx (P1) fracture patterns. The effectiveness of the device was evaluated under fluoroscopy.
RESULTS:
The data showed that DDD is able to achieve fracture reduction through ligamentotaxis and primary fragments stability and to avoid secondary dislocation during AROM of complex periarticular fractures of the MCPJ.
CONCLUSIONS:
The frame could be an alternative option to treat periarticular fractures of the MCPJ. The DDD implant has several advantages: It is time efficient because assembly and application take only few minutes. Furthermore, it is very versatile; indeed, it can be used in all metacarpal and phalanx bones, even in the central rays
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
