The palm print contains a great deal of information which is of great research and application value. This paper provides palm print research methods, application, and the relationship between the palm print and cancer.

T deep palmar arterial arch on the arteriogram was absent (Fig. 4, white arrowhead [dashes indicate the normal position of the deep palmar arch]) with little contrast medium flowing distally beyond the intermediate phalanx of the middle and ring fingers (Fig. 5, arrowheads). On the basis of the patient’s unilateral symptoms, the history of repetitive trauma and the angiographic findings, a diag...

Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is considered to be a variant of psoriasis, although recently it has been shown to be genetically different from psoriasis vulgaris (1). The majority of patients with PPP are women and smokers. The final target for inflammation in this condition is the palmoplantar sweat duct (2, 3), but the mechanisms underlying the inflammation are poorly characterized. PPP patie...

Madelung's deformity results from a growth defect in the palmar and ulnar region of the distal radius. It presents as an excessively inclined radial joint surface, inducing "spontaneous progressive palmar subluxation of the wrist". The principle of reverse wedge osteotomy (RWO) consists in the reorientation of the radial joint surface by taking a circumferential bone wedge, the base of which is...

The purpose of this study was to summarize and evaluate results of three-dimensional (3D-) planned corrective osteotomies of malunited distal radius fractures. 3D-planning techniques provide the possibility to address 3D-deformity that conventional planning methods might not address. We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane library for studies that performed a 3D-planned corre...

In five fresh human cadaver wrist joints six carpal ligaments and seven carpal bones were marked with small, radio-opaque pellets. Using a roentgenstereophotogrammetric measuring system, the ligamentous length changes and the kinematics of carpal bones were determined in different flexion and deviation positions of the hand. The data generated by this method differ significantly from lengthenin...
