This study found better immediate correction and fewer major complications for severe Dupuytren PIP contractures with staged fasciectomy using an extension device, but final contracture was similar to single-stage surgery.

Lauck et al report that lower trapezius transfer is a reliable option for functionally irreparable rotator cuff tears, offering significant improvements in clinical and functional outcomes

[J Hand Surg Am- ASSH @JHandSurg]

Early mobilization has improved #FlexorTendon repair outcomes but the balance is critical: prevent adhesions without risking rupture. Taleghani et al. examined how postop edema and total arc of motion affect tendon gliding resistance.
