We describe a false aneurysm of a common digital artery. Diagnosis and choice of treatment were largely determined by ultrasonography which proved to be a reliable and easy to use diagnostic tool.
Twenty-four flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendon interposition arthroplasties of the trapezium for bilateral trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis were reviewed. Pain was reduced in all cases. Function was improved in all right hands and in 92% of the left hands. FCR tendon interposition arthroplasty for bilateral trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis yields satisfactory long-term results on both sides.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
