This retrospective study evaluates In Situ Decompression (ISD) and Ulnar Nerve Transposition (UNT) surgeries for treating Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, the second most common nerve entrapment syndrome in the upper extremity. ISD and UNT showed comparable improvements in pain relief (VAS), functional outcomes (QuickDASH), and nerve conduction at 6 months. ISD demonstrated slightly faster recovery rates at 1 month (53.57% vs. 32.14%). No significant difference in long-term clinical outcomes was observed. Both methods are safe and effective for CuTS treatment, though further studies including parameters like revision surgery and complications could provide additional insights.

A single-center study of 75 children revealed a 25% strabismus incidence post-lensectomy, predominantly esotropia (74%). Unilateral surgery and age <6 months were significant risk factors. Monitoring interocular visual acuity and strabismus ensures timely intervention and amblyopia prevention. #PediatricOphthalmology #Strabismus #CongenitalCataract Read more: https://hubs.la/Q02_H7zR0

When compared to standard surgery, transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair of mitral regurgitation is less invasive – but comes with greater 5‐year mortality and reintervention risks. In a new study, Anna Hung, Jui-Chen Yang, Matthew Wallace, Sreekanth Vemulapalli, Rob Mentz, and Shelby Reed join other experts to quantify patient risk-benefit preferences for the procedures: https://lnkd.in/dgvi5tVV #clinicalresearch #hearthealth #cardiology

Management and Surgical Approaches for First Metacarpal Fractures Sudden injuries to the first metacarpal can impair thumb function, often caused by vertical impact. Optimal treatment restores the biomechanics of the trapeziometacarpal joint, and surgical intervention is usually recommended for displaced fractures. Bennett's fractures feature two fragments, while Rolando fractures present a three-part division at the metacarpal base. Displaced fractures generally show poor outcomes with conservative care, making surgical methods like minimally invasive, open reduction, and arthroscopic surgery effective. Techniques include pin fixation, direct/indirect screw fixation, and mini-plate fixation, with joint mobility restoration being crucial for prognosis.

💡 **Medical Insight: Acute Compartment Syndrome of the Hand** 🚨 **Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS)** is a rare but critical condition that can follow multiple metacarpal fractures. If not promptly diagnosed and treated, it may lead to devastating outcomes, including permanent functional loss. An insightful article published on **Cureus** delves into **current concepts** surrounding this condition, including:  🔬 Recognizing early warning signs (e.g., disproportionate pain and tense swelling).  💉 The role of advanced imaging in diagnosis.  ✂️ Surgical intervention (fasciotomy) as a key to preserving hand function.  🤝 The importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex cases. As healthcare professionals, staying updated on these advancements is crucial to improving patient outcomes. Let’s prioritize early recognition and collaboration to enhance care standards.

I thoroughly enjoyed Iain Moppett's editorial in the latest issue of Age & Ageing. The final paragraph provides a timely insight into a challenge I've been working on for the past two years: ensuring preventive measures are taken once a patient at risk is identified. This is especially relevant as I prepare to share some of my findings at the American Delirium Society Conference from June 9-11 😁 "So is Dodsworth et al’s new model [5] going to solve postoperative delirium? Of course not, but it, or indeed any systematic approach to assessing risk may help. By giving clinicians an anchor for informed decision making, prompting individual level proactive management before surgery, providing an evidence base for need, and maybe simplest of all—a reminder to assess at risk patients after surgery." https://lnkd.in/enHZDy77

Always great to see the amazing work of our customers get published. Dr. Hamood Al-Kindi‘s case report describes the surgical repair of a rare variant of double-outlet right ventricle with discordant atrioventricular connections and superior-inferior ventricles. Utilizing the help of Axial3D, the team was able to gain enhanced 3D insights into segmental relationships and confirm the feasibility of tunneling the interventricular communication to the aortic root.
