Background: Many surgical techniques are used to treat symptomatic neuroma, but options are limited for digital neuromas because of a paucity of soft-tissue coverage and/or the absence of the terminal nerve end. The authors assessed factors that influence patient-reported outcomes after surgery for symptomatic digital neuroma. Methods: The authors retrospectively identified 29 patients with 33 symptomatic digital neuromas that were treated surgically. Patients completed the Patient-Reported...

Background: Open carpal tunnel release is commonly performed with the use of a tourniquet. The combination of local anesthetic and epinephrine with a pneumatic tourniquet helps provide clear visualization during decompression of the median nerve. There has been a rapid expansion of literature challenging the use of tourniquets in open carpal tunnel release. Consequently, the local anesthesia/no tourniquet approach has become increasingly popular. The authors evaluated the outcomes of awake open...

Background: Dupuytren’s disease is a common, chronic, fibroproliferative disease of the palmar fascia. The cause is unclear but includes genetic predisposition alongside environmental factors. Several studies have suggested an association between Dupuytren’s disease and excess mortality. The authors aimed to evaluate this association in adult patients in the United Kingdom and identify the causes of mortality. Methods: The authors used a large primary care database (Clinical Practice Research...

Summary: Research bias, or the systematic errors of a study, can arise before, during, or after a trial ends. These biases hinder the internal validity of the study, which is the accuracy of a study’s conclusions regarding the effects of an intervention on a given group of subjects. With the growing use of evidence-based medicine, there is a demand for high-quality evidence from the research community. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials are considered the highest...

Background: Tissue expansion is used for soft-tissue reconstruction in pediatric patients. The expansion process can be complicated by infection and extrusion, leading to premature expander removal. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors associated with premature expander removal caused by infection or extrusion in pediatric patients. Methods: A retrospective study of pediatric patients who underwent tissue expansion performed by the senior author (R.J.R.) over a 12-year period...

Background: Does bifrontal width change with growth following trigonocephaly corrections? Postoperative long-term growth was assessed, along with the impacts of phenotypic severity, surgical timing, and operative technique, to determine how wide to surgically set bifrontal width. Methods: A retrospective review of all trigonocephaly repairs was performed. Exclusion criteria included syndromic conditions, incomplete records, and follow-up under 1 year. Anthropometric measurements taken through...

Background: Psychosocial distress in children with craniofacial anomalies is multifactorial. A known cause of childhood psychosocial distress is parental limited English proficiency; however, its role as a psychosocial stressor in the craniofacial anomaly population remains unknown. The current study aimed to understand the potential influence of parental English proficiency in children with craniofacial anomalies. Methods: Two hundred ninety-six children were prospectively evaluated at the...

Summary: The surgical techniques and execution of primary cleft lip and palate repair are no longer the greatest challenge to achieving successful rehabilitation for those born with facial clefting (i.e., bilateral and unilateral cleft lip and palate). Despite a surgeon’s best efforts, when cleft palate repair is carried out during infancy, by the mixed dentition, a majority will demonstrate nasomaxillary deficiency. The cleft team’s commitment to a family under their care is to ensure that the...

Background: Since 2012, the senior author has incorporated the natural curvature of rib cartilage as an alar rim graft in addition to the diced cartilage technique for unilateral cleft rhinoplasty. The aim of this study is to describe this modification and evaluate its long-term results regarding nasal symmetry using three-dimensional stereophotogrammetric assessment (3dMDface system). Methods: From 2012 to 2018, 47 consecutive patients that underwent secondary unilateral cleft rhinoplasty...

Background: Facial fractures are painful injuries routinely managed by opioids after surgical repair. Studies have identified patient risk factors and prescribing patterns associated with opioid use in medicine and general surgery; however, little is known about these entities in the facial trauma population. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of opioid-naive patients undergoing surgical repair of facial fractures was conducted using the Truven Health MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters...

Background: Corneal protection is a priority in flaccid facial palsy patients. Denervation of the orbicularis oculi muscle results in weak palpebral closure and predisposes patients to severe corneal sequelae. While periorbital static procedures enhance corneal coverage in repose, voluntary closure is only regained through dynamic reinnervation of the muscle. This study aims to elucidate the added effect of dynamic reinnervation of the orbicularis oculi muscle on long-term corneal integrity as...
