Perioperative Laboratory Markers as Risk Factors for Surgical Site Infection After Elective Hand Surgery
The purpose of this study was to test the null hypothesis that there is no association between perioperative laboratory markers (serum albumin and hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]) and incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) after soft tissue upper extremity surgery.Outcomes Associated With Scapholunate Ligament Injury Following Intra-Articular Distal Radius Fractures
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a series of intra-articular distal radius fractures (DRFs) to determine whether patients without radiographic evidence of scapholunate (SL) ligament injury have a difference in outcomes in comparison with patients with radiographic evidence of SL ligament injury and no ligament repair or reconstruction. Our hypothesis is that there are no significant differences in outcomes between patients after treatment of their intra-articular DRF.In Vivo Mechanical Function of the Distal Radial Ulnar Ligaments During Rotation of the Wrist
The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in length of the volar and dorsal radioulnar ligaments (VRULs and DRULs), and the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) space during unweighted and weighted rotation of the wrist using magnetic resonance imaging and biplanar fluoroscopy.Which Decisions For Management of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Distal Radius Fractures Should Be Shared?
To evaluate, from the surgeon’s perspective, the importance, feasibility, and appropriateness of sharing decisions during an episode of care of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) or distal radius fracture in patients aged greater than 65 years.
