Background High-energy injuries to the hand frequently lead to bone defects as well as soft tissue loss. Early bone grafting of defects is well established in the literature; however, few options are available for autologous corticocancellous grafts. Most frequently cited studies describe the iliac crest or the distal radius donor sites. Methods In this case report, we describe a new technique of...
Background The sural nerve is the most common nerve graft donor despite requiring a second operative limb and causing numbness of the lateral foot. The purposes of this study were to review our experience using nerve autografts in upper extremity nerve reconstruction and develop recommendations for donor selection. Methods A retrospective case series study was performed of all consecutive patients...
Background We describe a novel computational method for assessing the fit of an osteochondral graft. We applied our software to five normal wrist computed tomography (CT) scans to determine the fit of the scaphoid to the lunate fossa of the distal radius. Methods CT scans of five wrists were digitally rendered. The capitate facet of the scaphoid was fit to the lunate fossa of the distal radius using...
