ABSTRACT

The aims of this study were to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on emergency and elective hand surgery in four Italian regions that had either a high (Lombardy and Piemonte) or a low (Sicilia and Puglia) COVID-19 case load to discuss problems and to elaborate strategies to improve treatment pathways. A panel of hand surgeons from these different regions compared and discussed data from the centers they work in. The COVID-19 pandemic had an enormous impact on both elective and emergency surgery in Italy, not only in highly affected regions but also - and paradoxically even at a higher extent - in regions with a low COVID-19 case load. A durable and flexible redesign of hand surgery activities should be promoted, while changing and hopefully increasing human resources and enhancing administrative support. Telematics must also be implemented, especially for delivering rehabilitation therapy.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: There are several tendon interposition arthroplasty techniques for treatment of the trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis. The technique implemented by Ceruso, which uses the abductor pollicis longus, is an ideal solution. Through the radial exposures, it is possible to remove the trapezium, to split the abductor pollicis longus and to do the arthroplasty. This surgical technique is simple and it fosters a possible rapid recovery of the hand's functions. Complications are extremely unlikely. METHODS: The Author report on the 20 cases of hand's with osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint type 3 and 4 they have operated according to Brunnelli's classification between 2002 and 2006. RESULTS: All the patients were able to perform the daily activities, displaying with a good strength. The column of the thumb never proved shorter than before and distance between the base of the first metacarpal bone and the scaphoid remained unchanged during the whole follow-up period. CONCLUSION: The Ceruso's technique is capable of giving stability to the thumb and filling the space of the trapezium carries out function of the biological space.

ABSTRACT

A case of divergent dislocation of the fourth and fifth carpometacarpal joints is reported. The injury resulted from a high-energy trauma and was treated by closed reduction and cast immobilization for 4 weeks. Evaluation at the 26-month follow-up visit showed good radiographic and functional results.
