Significant interdisciplinary and intradisciplinary differences in the management of orbital fractures exist. The most significant trends are the growing popularity of alloplastic versus autogenous materials for orbital floor reconstruction and the fact that one-third of surgeons are more likely to opt for a nonoperative (conservative) approach compared with earlier in their careers.
Larsen syndrome is a rare congenital disorder commonly associated with dysmorphic facies, large joint dislocations, equinovarus or equinovalgus foot deformities, and various hand anomalies, including supernumerary carpal bones. The authors present a case of Larsen syndrome with bilateral supernumerary carpal bones as the sole clinical manifestation. A literature review investigating skeletal anomalies in patients with Larsen syndrome was performed and revealed that the present case represents a unique presentation of this disorder, lacking all of the major clinical features previously described in the literature. An approach to patients with supernumerary carpal bones is discussed.
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.
