Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Hand surgery contains a very broad spectrum of procedures and comprises complex subspecialities. We will present the latest advances in the dynamic field of hand surgery in which worldwide efforts are made around the world to treat traumatic injuries and degenerative conditions of the hand that continue to lead to significant impairment and disability. This Special Issue offers a space with which to explore innovative technologies applied to hand surgery. We invite contributions of the newest innovations available to hand surgeons and studies about the effect of new technologies on hand surgery in terms of diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic.

Background: The original description of boxer’s knuckle injury of the fifth ray mentions that the injury occurs between the extensor digitorum communis (EDC) and the extensor digiti minimi (EDM). Subsequent reports claim similar findings. Anatomical studies show that the EDC of the fifth ray is absent in most patients, while the EDM is generally composed of two slips. We present a modification of the current description of boxer’s knuckle injury of the little finger based on the correlation between advanced preoperative 3D imaging and intraoperative findings. Methods: Five patients were investigated preoperatively using high-resolution ultrasound and 3D tendon reconstruction-based MR arthrography. Surgical exploration identified the lesion site relative to the EDM and EDC. Results: All patients had two slips of the EDM and no EDC to the fifth ray. The injury appeared as a longitudinal tear of the EDM between its two slips. The mean gap was 7.8 mm (range 4.5–10 mm) on the pathological side vs. 1.3 mm (range 1–2 mm) on the healthy contralateral side. Conclusions: We believe that previous descriptions of boxer’s knuckle of the fifth ray are inaccurate. High-resolution ultrasound and 3D reconstructions based on MR arthrography are reliable diagnostic tools allowing to locate the injury with precision. Full article
