Radial Forearm Flap and Posterior Interosseous Flap: Indications and Technical Pearls
This video demonstrates the utility and surgical technique for radial forearm flap harvest, including step-by-step instructions as well as tips and tricks. Following this, the posterior interosseous artery flap is described in a similar fashion. Cadaveric dissection of both flaps is then demonstrated.

Annual Meeting of the ASSH in 2019
Hand Fellows from Philadelphia Hand Center, University of Colorado, Mayo Clinic, and Hospital for Special Surgery debate methods for SL reconstruction. 3 Ligament tenodesis, Reduction and Association of SL, Scapholunate internal brace 360, Swivelock SL IL Reconstruction and ANAFAB are also discussed and compared with pearls for each procedure
Thumb carpal metacarpal joint (CMCJ) arthritis is common. Surgical
denervation is an option for symptomatic CMCJ arthritis. Articular branches of
denervation can be performed using a single volar incision. Synovectomy at the CMCJ
can also be performed at the same time. Short recovery period is noted.
