“…Internet search interest for the search terms "finger fracture" and "scaphoid fracture" varied by season, peaking in the fall. Multiple prior studies of fracture epidemiology have shown that fracture risk is highest in the summer months, likely due to lifestyle and activity [16][17][18]; however, when examining monthly fracture incidence, peak fracture risk often occurs in the month of September [17,18]. This would explain the peak in internet search interest for traumatic conditions in the fall, as patients seek online information after injury and in the convalescent period.…”

Purpose: The internet is a common resource for patients seeking health information. Trends in internet search interests for common hand surgery diagnoses and their seasonal variations have not been previously studied. The objectives of this study were (1) to describe the temporal trends in internet search interest for common hand surgery diagnoses in the recent five-year time period and (2) to assess seasonal variations in search term interest. Methods: An internet-based study of internet search term interest of 10 common hand surgery diagnoses was performed using Google Trends (Google, Inc., Mountain View, CA) from January 2017 to December 2021. The 10 diagnoses were “carpal tunnel syndrome,” “trigger finger,” “thumb arthritis,” “ganglion cyst,” “de Quervain’s tenosynovitis,” “lateral epicondylitis,” “Dupuytren disease,” “distal radius fracture,” “finger fracture,” and “scaphoid fracture.” Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to assess for seasonal differences in search interest, and temporal trends were assessed using the two-tailed Mann-Kendall trend test. Results: During the study period, there was an increasing trend for search interest for “carpal tunnel syndrome,” “trigger finger,” “thumb arthritis,” “Dupuytren disease,” and “finger fracture,” both in the United States and worldwide. There was no significant temporal trend for “ganglion cyst,” “de Quervain’s tenosynovitis,” “lateral epicondylitis,” and “distal radius fracture.” There were no significant temporal trend for “scaphoid fracture” in the United States and a decreasing trend worldwide. There was significant seasonal variation in search term interest for “finger fracture” in the United States, “finger fracture” worldwide, and “scaphoid fracture” in the United States, with popularity peaking in the fall. Conclusions: Despite growth in global internet usage, internet search interest has remained stagnant for many common hand surgery conditions, which may represent a shifting preference for patients to obtain health information from other resources. Internet search interest for traumatic hand conditions corresponds to seasonal variations in fracture epidemiology and peaks in the fall season.

“…Studies reveal a global escalation in the incidence of distal radius fractures across age groups. The precise cause for this surge remains unclear, with proposed theories encompassing lifestyle in uences (urban vs. rural living), environmental factors, childhood obesity, and osteoporosis [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Background Dorsal Barton's fracture is a distinct type of distal radius fracture. The treatment of dorsal Barton's fracture is contentious and may lead to severe complications like traumatic arthritis and fracture malunion. Furthermore, there is a scarcity of clinical studies on dorsal Barton's fractures. This study aims to use three-dimensional (3D) CT scans to more intuitively and clearly depict the characteristics and patterns of dorsal Barton fractures. The objective is to deepen the understanding of such fractures, providing reference significance for clinical treatment. Methods The patients with dorsal Barton's fracture who met the inclusion criteria in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. 3D models of dorsal Barton's fracture were established by high-quality CT scanning, and the relevant data of different sections were measured to obtain the fracture characteristics of dorsal Barton's fracture. Results This study included 122 patients, comprising 39 males and 83 females. The average age for males was 55.21 years (range: 19–87 years), and for females, it was 63.88 years (range: 42–89 years). Among the 39 cases of dorsal Barton's fractures, 27 were single dorsal fractures, including 22 cases of dorsal ulnar Barton's fractures, 3 cases of dorsal radial Barton's fractures, and 2 cases of dorsal horizontal Barton's fractures. Twelve cases presented with 2 dorsal fractures, but none had 3 dorsal fractures. Among the 83 cases of female dorsal Barton's fractures, 59 were single dorsal fractures, including 55 cases of dorsal ulnar Barton's fractures, 3 cases of dorsal radial Barton's fractures, and 1 case of dorsal horizontal Barton's fracture. Twenty-two cases had 2 dorsal fractures, and 2 cases had 3 dorsal fractures. Conclusions Dorsal Barton fractures exhibit variability in fracture line and number, showing morphological distinctions. The 3D fracture line map of dorsal Barton's fracture, derived from CT 3D reconstruction, not only reveals relevant characteristics but also aids in basic research and the determination of an appropriate surgical plan based on fracture line distribution.

“…According to studies, the lifetime risk of distal radius fracture is 27% in girls and 42% in boys ( 1 ). Interestingly, a study in Sweden found an increase in the incidence of distal radius fractures among children in the summertime and a decline during the winter months ( 2 ). The most commonly reported mechanism is a fall on an outstretched hand.…”

Background: The Distal radius fractures in the pediatric age group have similar complications to any other fracture. One interpretation of the high fracture incidence in the distal third of the radius is the relative weakness of the metaphyseal part. Objective: The aim of this study is to provide an evaluation of Surgical complications of distal radius through satisfactory reduction and proper fixation by K-wires through bone growth plates. Methods: A retrospective single-center study in a tertiary hospital in Eastern Saudi Arabia from 2000 to 2021, using the hospital’s electronic records system. The Inclusion criteria of this study involve all distal radius fracture cases who underwent surgical fixation by k-wire or plating system and are up to 14 years old. The exclusion criteria include loss of follow-up, incomplete data, and age of more than 14 years. Results: the study included 103 patients. The side of injury was almost equally distributed between the left and right sides. The odds of having at least one complication increase by 2.5 folds if the site of fracture is at the diaphysis. Further, if the distance of the fracture line to the epiphysis is more than 20 mm, the odds of reporting at least one complication post-procedure is 4.4 times higher than if it was at the level of the epiphysis. The majority of diaphyseal fractures required less than 6 weeks for radiological healing, which is significantly different from other sites which were evaluated. Conclusion: Complications of distal radius fracture due to Surgical intervention could be confounded by the complexity of the fracture itself. In our study, we found the distance of the fracture from the physis was inversely proportional to the likelihood of complications. For a comprehensive appreciation of physeal plate, we recommend extended follow-up for those who present with signs of severe distal radius fracture, especially in case of associated ulnar fracture.
