A New Perspective for the Distal Radius Fracture
The Extended Flexor Carpi Radialis Approach: A New Perspective for the Distal Radius Fracture Article in Techniques in Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery · January 2002 Abstract: Until recently, buttress plates were the only form of stable internal fixation available for distal radius fractures. The principle that volarly displaced fractures are approached from the volar… [Read More]

This technique elimi-nates the potential… [Read More]
Tears of the Scapholunate & Lunotriquetral Ligaments
The Floating Lunate: Arthroscopic Treatment of Simultaneous Complete Tears of the Scapholunate and Lunotriquetral Ligaments American Association for Hand Surgery 2008 Abstract: Carpal instabilities continue to be a controversial topic in hand surgery. Accurate diagnosis of the ligament injuries is usually difficult without an arthroscopic evalu-ation. Few studies have focused on the diagnosis and proper… [Read More]
Scientific Article: Corrective osteotomy in Pediatrics
Corrective Osteotomy After Damage of the Distal Radial Physis in Children Article in Techniques in Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery · December 2011 Abstract: Distal radial physis closure in children can develop severe wrist deformity (radial shortening).

Arthroscopic assisted fixation of wrist fractures
Functional outcome of arthroscopic assisted fixation of distal radius fractures Article in Indian Journal of Orthopaedics · March 2013 Abstract: Many studies in literature have supported the role of wrist arthroscopy as an adjunct to the stable fixation of unstable intraarticular distal radial fractures. This article focuses on the surgical technique, indications, advantages, and results… [Read More]
Distal Radius Fracture Management
Pearls and pitfalls for comminuted distal radius fractures Article in BMC proceedings · May 2015 Fractures of the distal end of radius have been estimated to account for nearly 20% of all fractures seen in a routine emergency room. Despite this, until very recently, the distal radius fracture was not treated as aggressively as other… [Read More]
Breakthroughs in the treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The most recent breakthrough in the treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which is commonly used at Badia Hand to Shoulder Center, is called Endoscopic Release. In this procedure, an incision of less than one centimeter is made in the crease of the wrist, and an endoscope, which is a tiny camera, is inserted. This allows… [Read More]
