Patient-Reported Outcomes Improve after Hypothenar Fat Flap for the Treatment of Recurrent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Authors: Matthew W.T Curran, Mark RossPublication Date: 27th October, 2023Journal: The Journal Of Hand Surgery (Asian-Pacific Volume)Article link: https://doi.org/10.1142/S2424835523500649 Abstract:Background - Recalcitrant carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can present with persistent or recurrent symptoms after carpal tunnel release (CTR). A common aetiology for recurrent CTS is the development of perineural adhesions due to excess scarring. The [...]

Arthroscopic-assisted Distal Radius Fracture Fixation for Dorsoulnar Corner Fragments Using a Locked, Hooked Kirschner-Wire Technique

Authors: Mark Ross, Matthew J. White, Nicholas Smith, Publication Date: 7th November, 2023Journal: Journal of Wrist SurgeryArticle link: https://www.thieme-connect.de/products/ejournals/abstract/10.1055/s-0043-1776115 AbstractBackground - Distal radius fractures with dorso-ulnar corner fragments (DUC) pose a surgical challenge due to limited visualization and the risk of hardware prominence. Traditional approaches often result in inadequate reduction and fixation, leading to suboptimal [...]

Recurrent Instability and Return to Sport following a Modified Open Bristow Procedure in an Athletic Cohort

Phillip Duke, Elie Walsh, Ruby Strauss, Mark Ross The shoulder joint exhibits the greatest range of motion in the human body facilitated through the complex interplay of soft tissue and osseous anatomy. The wide range of movement in this joint results in a high susceptibility of dislocation with 50% of all joint dislocations involving the [...]

Proximal Trapezoidectomy and Scaphotrapezoid Joint Tendon Interposition at the Time of Ligament Reconstruction and Tendon Interposition for Pan Trapezial Osteoarthritis Does Not Increase Proximal Carpal Row Malalignment

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether removing the proximal trapezoid from the scaphotrapezoid joint (STJ) and interposing tendon when performing a ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) for pan trapezial arthritis resulted in any clinical or radiographic compromise compared with LRTI alone in isolated carpometacarpal joint arthritis. Methods In a prospective consecutive cohort, [...]

Mechanical performance comparison of two surgical constructs for wrist four-corner arthrodesis via dorsal and radial approaches. Clinical Biomechanics. 2021. Abstract Four-corner arthrodesis, which involves fusing four carpal bones while removing the scaphoid bone, is a standard surgery for the [...]

The Dorsal Periosteal Curtain for Distal Radius Osteotomy via the Volar Approach

Potter JA, Ross M. The Dorsal Periosteal Curtain for Distal radius Osteotomy via the Volar Approach. Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery. 2020. AbstractVolar wedge osteotomy and angle stable volar plating is now considered a standard approach for correction of distal radius malunion. In previous descriptions of the technique, soft tissue release has been [...]
