Abstract

To our knowledge, there are no reports in the literature regarding treatment of chronic, posttraumatic proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint hyperextension deformities with flexor digitorum superficialis tenodesis. The purpose of this study was to describe the surgical treatment and results of flexor digitorum superficialis tenodesis for the treatment of chronic, posttraumatic PIP joint hyperextension deformities. Twelve patients were reviewed retrospectively and re-examined at a mean follow-up period of 35 months (range, 6-108 mo). Evaluation included completion of a Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire and range of motion (ROM) measurements. There were 5 excellent, 5 good, and 2 fair results. Five patients had a residual flexion contracture at the PIP joint of 5 degrees to 15 degrees, although this did not create any functional impairment as determined by responses to the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire at follow-up evaluation. The 2 patients with fair results had postoperative PIP flexion contractures of 30 degrees and 60 degrees. All 12 patients returned to their previous occupations and recreational activities. Flexor digitorum superficialis tenodesis is an effective method wit...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
