Comments on: Dorsal Capsuloplasty for Dorsal Instability of the Distal Ulna (J Wrist Surg 2013;2(2):168–175)

Dorsal wrist capsular tears in association with scapholunate instability: results of an arthroscopic dorsal capsuloplasty.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to report the association of dorsal wrist capsular avulsion with scapholunate ligament instability and to evaluate the results of an arthroscopy-assisted repair. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 10 patients with a mean age of 39.1 years suffering from chronic dorsal wrist pain. They underwent a wrist arthroscopy with an evaluation of the scapholunate liga...

Reconstruction of Dorsal Wrist Defects

Ossified Dorsal Wrist Ganglion Cyst: A Case Report

  Ganglion cysts are the most common wrist tumors, and 60 -70% originate dorsally from the scapholunate interval.  Ossification of these lesions is exceedingly rare, with only one such lesion located in the finger reported in the literature. We present a case of an ossified dorsal wrist ganglion in a 68-year-old woman.  

Simultaneous Dorsal Base Fracture and FDP Avulsion of Distal Phalanx of the Little Finger

Avulsion injury of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) with concomitant fracture of the distal phalanx dorsal base is uncommon. Simultaneous avulsion fractures of the insertion of this tendon associated with rupture of the tendon from the bony fragment and combination with dorsal base fracture is very rare and also complicated. A 36- year- old man fell and injured his right little finger. FDP ...
