Use of Wolfe graft for the treatment of mucous cysts.

30 Jul 2009 Many surgical procedures have been described for the treatment of mucous cysts. We report a case series of a surgical technique that excises the cyst along with overlying skin and reconstructs the defect using a Wolfe graft harvested from the wrist ... Read more...

Fracture-dislocation about the finger joints.

29 Jun 2009 Fracture-dislocations in the small joints of the fingers are challenging injuries. The surgeon must choose an appropriate treatment based on fracture pattern, joint stability, and injury chronicity. Fracture-dislocations of the proximal ... Read more...

[Proximal interphalangeal joint silicone arthroplasty--comparison of Swanson and NeuFlex implants using a new evaluation score]

14 Jun 2009 Proximal interphalangeal joint arthroplasty with a silicone implant has proven to be successful in cases of degenerative, post-traumatic or rheumatic arthritis. The recent changing of the implant's design by introducing a 30-degree preflexion has ... Read more...
