A case of total scaphoid titanium custom-made 3D-printed prostheses with one-year follow-up.

Abstract
A 34-year-old male patient developed scaphoid nonunion with necrosis in both fragments. A scaphoid replacement was performed using a titanium custom-made 3D-printed implant. At 1-year follow-up, good clinical and radiographic outcome was obtained. Titanium custom-made 3D-printed implants may offer a good surgical solution for patients requiring total scaphoid replacement.

Thumb Ulnar Collateral Ligament Repair with Suture Tape Augmentation.
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 02/01/2020 - 22:26Conclusions: Thumb UCL repair with suture tape augmentation demonstrates short-term outcomes comparable to what has been reported for other methods of repair. It may potentially allow for an expedited recovery and rehabilitation process.

An Unusual Case of Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of Proximal Phalanx in a 2 Year Old Child.
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 02/01/2020 - 22:26We report a case of aneurysmal bone cyst of proximal phalanx of middle finger in a 2 year old child treated at our tertiary care hospital. The diagnosis was confirmed with pre-operative MRI, FNAC and post-operative histopathology. Curettage of the lesion and autologous bone grafting was performed. The hand was immobilized in a short below elbow slab for 4 weeks followed by physiotherapy. Excellent radiological and functional outcomes were obtained with no recurrence at a 5 year of follow up.

Use of Distal Hypothenar Perforator Free Flaps for Pulp Defects.
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 02/01/2020 - 22:26Conclusions: We consider that a distal hypothenar perforator free flap has a high degree of usability for a medium-sized defect such as the whole finger pulp. In the future, whether sensory nerve branches of this flap should be sutured will need to be clarified.

Unidirectional Porous β-Tricalcium Phosphate: A New Bone Filling Substitute for Treatment of Distal Radius Fracture in the Elderly Population.
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 02/01/2020 - 22:26Conclusions: Block UDPTCP is a safe and convenient material for the treatment of distal radius fracture and is replaced within a suitable time period after grafting into the fracture site. UDPTCP and stable internal fixation is therefore a reliable strategy for restoring and preserving anatomical position, especially in the elderly population.
