The purpose of this investigation was to describe the clinical results of traumatic elbow instability treated with lateral ulnar collateral ligament repair with suture-tape augmentation.The Impact of Cement Mantle Characteristics on Early Loosening in Primary Total Elbow Arthroplasty
To assess the association between cement mantle characteristics and early radiographic loosening in total elbow arthroplasty (TEA). We aimed to determine whether shorter mantle heights (<20 mm) were associated with loosening.The Impact of Smoking on Delayed Osseous Union After Arthrodesis Procedures in the Hand and Wrist
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between smoking and delayed radiographic union after hand and wrist arthrodesis procedures.

We evaluated a comprehensive telemedicine pathway for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Our primary aim was to compare telemedicine and in-person administration of the six item CTS-6 instrument (CTS-6) in patients undergoing carpal tunnel release (CTR) and to determine whether surgical plans determined via telemedicine were altered by in-person assessments. We additionally aimed to assess agreement between telemedicine and in-person examinations.Analysis of Gender Diversity Within Hand Surgery Fellowship Programs
