Wrist & Hand

The April 2025 Wrist & Hand Roundup 360 looks at: Hand symptoms improve after cubital tunnel release, but health-related quality of life measures may not capture the benefit; No difference in outcomes of one week or three to five weeks of cast immobilization for minimally displaced distal radius fractures; Feeling of weakness in upper limb conditions: a sign of distress rather than neuromuscular dysfunction?; Timing of surgery for open distal radius fractures: does delay affect outcomes?; Long-term outcomes of trapeziectomy and ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition in patients under 56 years of age; Passive mobilization with place-and-hold yields better long-term outcomes than active mobilization after flexor tendon repair; Early active versus passive flexion rehabilitation after flexor tendon repair: a large registry study shows no long-term difference in range of motion; Is surgery always necessary for scaphoid nonunion in patients with minor symptoms?
