“…Edwards et al reported on 2-year postoperative results after simple syndactyly reconstruction and found that in 143 web space reconstructions, there were six infections, one pyogenic granuloma, one donor site dehiscence, and four revisions for webspace creep or scar contracture. 73 Long-term outcomes for simple syndactyly remain encouraging, with one study reporting an 8% incidence of web creep which did not interfere with hand function. 74 Only 2 of 19 patients reported functional issues (crocheting and catching a ball), but one patient had concomitant oligodactyly and the other had symbrachydactyly.…”

Upper extremity congenital anomalies in the newborn are second only to congenital heart anomalies. Some of the more commonly encountered upper extremity anomalies are trigger thumb, thumb hypoplasia, polydactyly, syndactyly, and amniotic band syndrome. While some conditions occur in isolation, others are known to commonly occur in association with syndromes. Familiarity with these conditions is important not only to provide adequate evaluation and workup of these patients but also to deliver appropriate surgical intervention and prepare parents with appropriate expectations. In this article, we outline the etiology, classification, surgical management, and outcomes of these five commonly encountered upper extremity congenital anomalies.

“…Edwards et al reviewed the outcome of 85 surgical releases performed in 59 patients with syndactyly and found 31% of complications per operation at two year follow up. However, only 8% of complications required reoperation or readmission (donor site dehiscence, web or scar revision, or wound infection requiring); more than one surgical procedure and more than one operated web space were risk factors for complications [ 12 ].…”

Purpose We propose to survey — even if arbitrarily — the publications in paediatric orthopaedics and traumatology that have had the greatest impact on the specialty during the period extending from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in December 2020 and the end of all health restrictions in March 2023. Methods Only studies with a high level of evidence or clinical relevance were selected. We briefly discussed the results and conclusions of these quality articles to situate them in relation to the existing literature and current practice. Results Publications are presented by dividing traumatology and orthopaedics whose publications are further subdivided according to anatomical districts; articles concerning neuro-orthopaedics, tumours, and infections were presented separately while sports medicine is jointly presented with knee-related articles. Conclusions Despite the difficulties encountered during the global COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2023), orthopaedic and trauma specialists, including paediatric orthopaedic surgeons, have maintained a high level of scientific output, in terms of quantity and quality of production.
