Results The average working time of 72.7 hours/week before the pandemic was decreased to 65.6 hours/week during the pandemic (p

Objectives/Interrogation: Acute calcific periarthritis of the hand is a relatively uncommon painful condition with juxta-articular deposits of amorphous calcium hydroxyapatite. Although conservative treatments has been generally regarded effective, there is not much evidence about how long they[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 14th Triennial Congress of the International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand (IFSSH), 11th Triennial Congress of the International Federation of Societies for Hand Therapy (IFSHT), 11th Triennial Congress of the International Federation of Societies for Hand Therapy (IFSHT)

Objectives/Interrogation: Development of arthritis in the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a major concern after ulnar-shortening osteotomy. The configuration of the DRUJ is an important predisposing factor for arthritis. Here we suggest a new classification of the morphology of the DRUJ.

Objectives/Interrogation: The reverse digital artery flap uses the radial or ulnar surface of the proximal phalanx of the involved digit and has been applied to sensate flaps using the superficial sensory nerve branch and the dorsal branch of the proper digital nerve. As these nerve branches innervate[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 14th Triennial Congress of the International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand (IFSSH), 11th Triennial Congress of the International Federation of Societies for Hand Therapy (IFSHT), 11th Triennial Congress of the International Federation of Societies for Hand Therapy (IFSHT)

Objectives/Interrogation: Extension block pinning consists of a dorsal extension block K-wire and a second volar K-wire to hold the DIJ in extension. This technique has been modified by several authors to improve the accuracy of reduction and stability of fixation.

Objectives/Interrogation: Post-traumatic ankylosis of the finger joint is one of the complications after traumatic hand injury. If there is no improvement through conservative treatments, surgical treatments can be considered.
