Case series.Introduction
A salvaged limb is one that has undergone a major traumatic injury, followed by repeated surgical attempts in order to avoid amputation. Psychological recovery for individuals with lower extremity limb salvage has been examined in a number of studies. However, psychosocial reactions for individuals with upper extremity (UE) limb salvage are understudied in the literature.Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was to explore the process of psychosocial adaptation for 3 trauma cases after UE limb salvage.Methods
The Reactions to Impairment and Disability Inventory was used to assess psychosocial adaptation. Physical function outcomes (pain, range of motion, edema, sensation, and dexterity) are presented. The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand measure was used to assess perceived disability. Medical and rehabilitation history are discussed for each case, in order to provide in-depth understanding of the impact of these injuries.Results
Reactions to injury varied across the cases; however, outcomes suggest that psychosocial adaptation may be influenced by the experience of pain, the ability to participate in valued roles and activities, and having a supportive social network.Discussion
For this population, therapists may consider emphasizing pain management, focusing on client-centered goals and interventions, and facilitating peer support. Providers should closely monitor patients for signs of poor adaptation, such as hand-hiding behaviors.Conclusions
This study is among the first to examine psychological outcomes for the UE limb salvage population. Future research would be beneficial to provide deeper understanding of the psychosocial challenges for these individuals. 相似文献2.

Basic research (biomechanics).Introduction
The high degree of motion that occurs at the thumb metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint must be taken into account when immobilizing a partially torn or repaired thumb ulnar collateral ligament.Purpose of the Study
To determine the efficacy of a radial-based thumb MCP-stabilizing orthosis in resisting abduction across the thumb ulnar collateral ligament.Methods
Ten fresh cadaveric hands were mounted to a custom board. An anteroposterior radiograph of the thumb was obtained with a 2 N preload valgus force applied to the thumb, and the angle between the Kirschner wires was measured as a baseline. Subsequently, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 N valgus forces were applied 15 mm distal to the MCP joint. Anteroposterior radiographs of the thumb were obtained after each force was applied. The angle of displacement between the wires was measured and compared with the baseline angle. The angles were measured with an imaging processing tool. A custom radial-based thumb MCP-stabilizing orthosis was fashioned for each cadaveric thumb by a certified hand therapist. The aforementioned loading protocol was then repeated.Results
The radial-based thumb MCP-stabilizing orthosis significantly reduced mean abduction angles at each applied load.Discussion
We found that our orthosis, despite being hand-based and leaving the thumb IP and CMC joints free, significantly reduced mean abduction angles at each applied load.Conclusions
This investigation provides objective evidence that our radial-based thumb MCP-stabilizing orthosis effectively reduces the degree of abduction that occurs at the thumb MCP joint up to at least 100 N.Level of Evidence

Prospective cohort.Introduction
Clinical studies that evaluate the correlation between associated lesions of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) and outcome of distal radial fractures expressed with the patient-rated disability are missing.Purpose of the Study
To evaluate the outcomes of distal radius fractures associated with or without an injury of the TFCC.Methods
Patients undergoing operative treatment for distal radial fracture were prospectively enrolled (n = 70). The TFCC was examined by wrist arthroscopy, and injuries were classified according to Palmer. Comparative analyses were performed on data from 45 patients with TFCC injury (the injured group) and 25 patients with an intact TFCC (the intact group). The outcome measures included The Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaires, 3 and 12 months after injury.Results
The TFCC was injured in 45 patients (64%). In patients with an intact TFCC, the mean total PRWE score was 27 (at 3 months) and 16 (at 12 months), whereas in patients with TFCC injury, it was 40 (at 3 months) and 24 (at 12 months). Mean DASH scores were 26 and 13 for the intact group and 39 and 27 for the injured group at 3 and 12 months, respectively. PRWE and DASH results showed significant difference at 3 and 12 months when compared using the Mann-Whitney test.Conclusions
Disability outcomes were worse in patients with distal radial fracture where TFCC was injured. TFCC injuries are an important cofactor affecting the outcome of distal radial fractures. 相似文献5.

Background
This study aimed to identify differences in pattern recognition skill among individuals with varying surgical experience.Methods
Participants reviewed laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos of various difficulty, and paused them when the cystic duct or artery was identified to outline each structure on the monitor. Time taken to identify each structure, accuracy and work load, which was assessed using the NASA-Task Load Index (TLX), were compared among the three groups.Results
Ten students, ten residents and eight attendings participated in the study. Attendings identified the cystic duct and artery significantly faster and more accurately than students, and identified the cystic artery faster than residents. The NASA-TLX score of attendings was significantly lower than that of students and residents.Conclusions
Attendings identified anatomical structures faster, more accurately, and with less effort than students or residents. This platform may be valuable for the assessment and teaching of pattern recognition skill to novice surgeons.Short summary
Accurate anatomical recognition is paramount to proceeding safely in surgery. The assessment platform used in this study differentiated recognition skill among individuals with varing surgical experience. 相似文献6.

Case series.Introduction
Upper extremity (UE) trauma and subsequent immobilization affects functional performance.Purpose of the Study
Determine the usefulness and feasibility of unilateral hand training (UHT) on improving functional performance in patients with UE trauma.Methods
Nine participants received UHT within 10 days of immobilization. Functional performance, dexterity, grip, and pinch strength were measured at initial and 4-week visits. Qualitative interviews were coded to develop themes.Results
All Jebsen-Taylor hand function test subtests improved from pretest to post-test. Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scores of all 9 participants improved. Functional performance was more impaired for participants with dominant UE injury. Four themes emerged: participants were forced to alter or avoid most daily activities, had an increased dependency on others, took longer to perform activities, and felt UHT decreased the impact of UE trauma on function.Discussion
Functional performance was impaired for all participants. Participants believed that UHT was useful and contributed to improved function.Conclusion
This case series tracked a comprehensive intervention based on a holistic activities of daily living framework that considered the nuances of individual complexities of immobilization following hand trauma. Knowledge from this study supports an early intervention like UHT to educate clients on effective strategies to improve immediate activities of daily living functioning and potentially prevent longer term impairments. 相似文献7.

Study Design
A within-subject research design was used in this study. The difference of the range of motion (ROM) with and without ulnar nerve block was analyzed.Introduction
For the clinical evaluation of the functional effects of ulnar nerve palsy at the hand the relevance of clinical tests is in discussion.Purpose of the Study
The aim of the study was to evaluate the predictive value of 2 clinical tests for a simulated ulnar nerve lesion by motion analysis with a sensor glove.Methods
In 28 healthy subjects, dynamic measurements of the finger joints were performed by a sensor glove with and without ulnar nerve block at the wrist. In the 0° metacarpophalangeal (MCP) stabilization test, the subjects were asked to stabilize the MCP joints actively in 0° while moving the interphalangeal joints, whereas at the 90° MCP stabilization test, the subjects stabilized the MCP joints actively in the 90° position.Results
In the 0° MCP stabilization test, no remarkable changes of the ROM were found at the MCP joints; at the proximal interphalangeal joints 2-5, the ROM decreased with ulnar nerve block, significantly at the index, middle, and ring fingers (P < .05). In the 90° MCP stabilization test, the average ROM of the MCP joints 2-5 significantly increased with ulnar nerve block (P < .05), whereas at the PIP joints, the average ROM decreased (P < .05).Discussion
The 90° MCP stabilization test had a high predictive value for the discrimination between healthy subjects and subjects with a simulated peripheral ulnar nerve lesion.Conclusions
The results could be relevant for the determination of the functional effect of ulnar nerve palsy and the quantification of clawing in hand rehabilitation.Level of Evidence

Case report.Introduction
Development of extensor tendon adhesions is a common complication after intra-articular metacarpal head fracture. Whenever these adhesions cannot be mobilized by rehabilitation, tenolysis should be considered. However, the decision for tenolysis is often delayed. When the rehabilitation program comes to a plateau and clinical examination may not be sufficient to find out the cause, dynamic ultrasound (US) can show where the gliding mechanism is disrupted and help clinicians to give an accurate decision for determining the next steps.Purpose of the Study
To determine the role of dynamic US during hand rehabilitation.Methods
A 22-year-old woman presented with a fifth metacarpal intra-articular head fracture. Ten days after the surgery (open reduction and internal fixation) the hand rehabilitation program was commenced. After the third week, the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint range of motion (ROM) gradually diminished. Dynamic US near the level of fifth MP joint revealed diminished extensor tendon excursion and capsular thickening.Results
Considering physical and sonographic findings, surgical tenolysis and capsular release was planned. After surgery, the DIP, PIP and MP joints reached full passive ROM.Conclusion(s)
Ultrasound is a quick and practical way to diagnose tendon adhesions. With this report, the authors suggest that clinicians may use dynamic US, especially in times when the patient comes to plateau during hand rehabilitation.Level of Evidence

Clinical measurement (reliability and validity) study.Introduction
Forearm supination is important in many daily activities and is thus measured by therapists and researchers usually with a universal goniometer. DrGoniometer, a SmartPhone application, has been validated for other joint angles in the body.Purpose of the Study
To establish the reliability and validity of DrGoniometer (CDM S.r.L, Cagliari, Italy) for measuring forearm supination in healthy populations and those with forearm fractures.Methods
Participants had sustained a distal radius fracture that was treated non-surgically. Forearm supination of the participant’s fractured (n = 30) and healthy forearm (n = 30) was measured using DrGoniometer and the universal goniometer by two assessors. The assessors were blinded to each other’s measurements and their own previous measurements. Reliability was established by calculating Intra-class Correlation Coefficients, standard error of measurement and minimal detectable change. The validity of DrGoniometer was established against the universal goniometer using Pearson’s correlation co-efficient.Results
Intra-rater reliability of both DrGoniometer and the universal goniometer was high for both fractured and healthy forearms (ICCs ranged from 0.74-0.88). Inter-rater reliability of both DrGoniometer and the universal goniometer was also high in the fractured forearm group (0.76 and 0.72 respectively), but low in the healthy forearm group (0.34 and 0.42 respectively). Correlation between the tools was excellent across the fractured and healthy forearm groups (0.94 and 0.93 respectively).Discussion
Both goniometers demonstrated good-to-excellent intrarater and iner-rater reliability except in the healthy forearm group where both goniometers demonstrated poor inter-rater reliability which could be due to assessor instructions. The speed the photo can be taken and the digital record obtained are valuable aspects of DrGoniometer.Conclusion
DrGoniometer is a valid, alternate tool for measuring forearm supination. 相似文献10.

Two-group randomized controlled trial.Introduction
Upper limb orthoses worn during functional tasks are commonly used in pediatric neurologic rehabilitation, despite a paucity of high-level evidence.Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was to investigate if a customized functional wrist orthosis, when placed on the limb, leads to an immediate improvement in hand function for children with cerebral palsy or brain injury.Methods
A 2-group randomized controlled trial involving 30 children was conducted. Participants were randomized to either receive a customized functional wrist orthosis (experimental, n = 15) or not receive an orthosis (control, n = 15). The box and blocks test was administered at baseline and repeated 1 hour after experimental intervention, with the orthosis on if randomized to the orthotic group.Results
After intervention, there were no significant differences on the box and blocks test between the orthotic group (mean, 10.13; standard deviation, 11.476) and the no orthotic group (mean, 14.07; standard deviation, 11.106; t[28], ?0.954; P = .348; and 95% confidence interval, ?12.380 to 4.513).Discussion
In contrast to the findings of previous studies, our results suggest that a functional wrist orthosis, when supporting the joint in a ‘typical’ position, may not lead to an immediate improvement in hand function.Conclusions
Wearing a functional wrist orthosis did not lead to an immediate improvement in the ability of children with cerebral palsy or brain injury to grasp and release. Further research is needed combining upper limb orthoses with task-specific training and measuring outcomes over the medium to long term. 相似文献11.

Introduction
The aim of this study was to determine whether complications following mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) were associated with breast cancer recurrence.Methods
A retrospective review was performed of women diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer who underwent mastectomy with IBR between 2005 and 2010. Patient demographics, tumor data, surgical wound complications, treatment details and timing were recorded and analyzed.Results
We identified 458 women with a median follow up time of 7.6 years. A total of 22% of patients experienced IBR complications. There was a delay in initiation of adjuvant therapy in patients who had a complication (52 vs 41 days, p?<?0.001). There was no significant difference in recurrences between groups with and without complications (p?=?0.65).Conclusions
In breast cancer patients who undergo mastectomy with IBR, wound complications delayed initiation of adjuvant systemic therapy, but were not associated with an increased risk of cancer recurrence. 相似文献12.

Introduction
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) usually affects both sensory and motor function of hands and feet, resulting in impaired skilled hand function (e.g., typing a keyboard). However, quantitative and objective evaluations for this condition have not been established.Purpose of the Study
We evaluated skilled hand function using a kinematic analysis and investigated relationships among hand kinematic function and the clinical sensory and motor features of CIPN.Study Designs
Clinical measurement.Methods
Twelve CIPN patients and 12 age-matched control participants were enrolled. We recorded their reach and grasp movements using a three-dimensional measurement system, and calculated the normalized jerk of these movements as quantitative indexes of skilled hand function. Additionally, we used the number of sequential hand grip–release cycles in 10 seconds as an evaluation of clinical motor function.Results
Our kinematic analyses revealed significant difference in normalized jerk of grasp movement (CIPN: 3.7 ± 0.2, control: 3.4 ± 0.1; P = .005), but this was not the case for reach movement (CIPN: 2.5 ± 0.1, control: 2.5 ± 0.2; P = .43), indicating that the distal part of the forearm is particularly affected in CIPN. Such disturbed grasp movement was directly correlated with poor scores on the hand grip–release test and the sensory tests.Discussion
We revealed deficit impaired hand function objectively and quantitatively in CIPN patients using a kinematic analysis. Further, the hand grip test could represent such kinematic abnormality and could be useful for evaluating skilled hand function of CIPN patients.Conclusions
Our kinematic and clinical measurements objectively and quantitatively evaluate skilled hand function in individuals with CIPN in clinical settings.Level of Evidence

Introduction
Several studies demonstrated that simulator-acquired skill transfer to the operating room is incomplete. Our objective was to identify trainee characteristics that predict the transfer of simulator-acquired skill to the operating room.Methods
Trainees completed baseline assessments including intracorporeal suturing (IS) performance, attentional selectivity, self-reported use of mental skills, and self-reported prior clinical and simulated laparoscopic experience and confidence. Residents then followed proficiency-based laparoscopic skills training, and their skill transfer was assessed on a live-anesthetized porcine model. Predictive characteristics for transfer test performance were assessed using multiple linear regression.Results
Thirty-eight residents completed the study. Automaticity, attentional selectivity, resident perceived ability with laparoscopy and simulators, and post-training IS performance were predictive of IS performance during the transfer test.Conclusions
Promoting automaticity, self-efficacy, and attention selectivity may help improve the transfer of simulator-acquired skill. Mental skills training and training to automaticity may therefore be valuable interventions to achieve this goal. 相似文献14.

Background
In 2008, 2005–2006 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) data were used to identify surgical operations contributing disproportionately to morbidity and mortality. Since then, numerous enhanced recovery programs have been utilized to augment quality improvement efforts. This study reassesses procedural complication incidence after a decade of quality improvement efforts.Methods
Data from the 2015 NSQIP were used. The same original 36 general surgery procedure groups were created using Current Procedural Terminology codes. Ninety percent of our 409,230 patients matched into a procedure group and adverse event rates were analyzed for each.Results
Ten procedure groups accounted for 80% of adverse events. Colectomy ranked the highest for adverse events (34%), readmissions (27%) and mortality rates (45.8%). For outpatient cholecystectomy, the relative percent point difference for adverse events has increased by 224% since 2005.Conclusion
Refocusing on colectomy and outpatient cholecystectomy represent current priorities in general surgery. 相似文献15.

Background
The Injury Severity Score (ISS) and the New ISS (NISS) underscore injury severity after GSW. This study assesses the Urban ISS (UISS), which incorporates all injuries.Methods
Complete trauma program registry (TPR) data and chart analyses were performed on 585 patients (pts) over 28 months. Factors analyzed included age, gender, ISS, NISS, UISS, time of admission, intent of injury, race, number GSW, weapon, and outcome.Results
The 585 patients could be categorized within three groups. The first group included 98?pts with low ISS (1–2), no organ injuries, and early discharge; the second group included 47 patients with severe shock who died during operation; the third group of 442?pts were admitted after operation. All injury scores correlated (p?<?0.001) with assault, number GSW, death, and length-of-stay (LOS). Death and LOS correlated closely with assault and the resultant number of GSW, best seen with UISS compared to ISS or NISS. Race and admission time did not correlate with death or LOS.Conclusions
UISS correlates better than ISS and NISS in victims of inner-city firearm injuries. 相似文献17.

Background
Existing literature has shown racial/ethnic disparities between white and black surgical populations, however, surgical outcomes for Hispanic patients are limited in both scope and quantity.Methods
Data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program from 2007 to 2015 was used to analyze surgical outcomes in approximately 3.5 million patients.Results
Overall, Hispanics experienced lower odds of mortality compared to non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native patients (all P?<?0.0001). No difference was found in mortality odds between Hispanics and non-Hispanic Asian or Native Hawaiian patients. Hispanics experienced minimal disparities in complications as compared to non-Hispanic White and non-Hispanic Black but had a higher rate of select complications when compared to Non-Hispanic Asian, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander.Conclusion
Hispanics, in general, had lower odds of 30-day postoperative mortality and major morbidity compared to most of the races/ethnicities included in the ACS NSQIP database. 相似文献18.

Background
Training future rural surgeons is critical, but training needs are unclear. We hypothesize perspectives on necessity of subspecialty training differ among rural surgeons by generational cohort.Methods
An online survey was sent to ACS Rural Surgery Listserv subscribers. Closed-ended elements were analyzed using bivariate testing and logistic regression. Purposively-sampled respondents participated in qualitative interviews analyzed using principles of grounded theory.Results
Generation was irrelevant to respondents’ hiring preferences, but older surgeons were more likely to state subspecialty training was ideal for any future rural surgeon. Controlling for practice context, younger rural surgeons were less likely to favor hiring a subspecialty-trained surgeon (p?=?0.019). Themes emerged from qualitative analysis emphasizing broad training and the importance of practice context.Conclusion
Across generations, rural surgeons’ perceptions about the training needed for rural surgery are largely stable. Considering practice context will allow educators to better prepare future rural surgeons for rural practices. 相似文献19.

Background
There are notable disparities in the training, recruitment, promotion, and evaluation of men and women in surgery. The qualitative assessment of surgical residents may be implicitly gender biased.Methods
We used inductive analysis to identify themes in written evaluations of residents. We also performed a content analysis of words fitting previously defined communal, grindstone, ability, and standout categories.Results
Differences in themes that emerged from evaluations of male and female residents were notable regarding overall performance, references to the future, professional competency, job domains, disposition and humanism, and overall tone of evaluations. Comments about men were more positive than those about women, and evaluations of men included more standout words.Conclusions
The more positive evaluations of men may handicap women if they are seen as less likely to perform well based on these evaluations. These differences suggest that implicit bias may play a role in the qualitative evaluation of surgical residents. 相似文献20.
