Abstract: Mucormycosis as a consequence of trauma is a devastating complication these infections are challenging to control, with a fatality rate approaching 96% in immunocompromised patients. We present a case where a proactive approach was successfully employed to treat mucormycosis following complex polytrauma. Aggressive repeated surgical debridement, in combination with appropriate antifungal therapy, proved successful in this instance. In our opinion, mucormycosis in trauma mandates an aggressive surgical approach. This prevents ascending dissemination of mucormycosis and certainly reduces the risk of patient mortality as a direct result. Anti-fungal therapy should be used secondarily as an adjunct together with surgical debridement, or as an alternative when surgical intervention is not feasible.

Abstract: Rupture of the deep transverse metacarpal ligament (DTML) can result in pain, impaired grip strength, and undermine functional performance of the hand. We describe the case of a patient whose right hand came into contact with a boat propeller. He sustained a complete disruption of the DTML between the second and third ray in addition to soft tissue injury and open metacarpal fractures. Although other techniques describe a reconstruction of the DTML, our technique describes an adjunctive technique that strongly augments the A1 pulley reconstruction and nullifies the requirements of palmaris longus graft.

Abstract: Management of wrist arthritis may involve many options, including motion preserving and motion sacrificing procedures. Total wrist arthrodesis is often considered the gold standard for severe wrist arthritis, failing non-operative management. We present the first case to our knowledge of total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) for patient with rheumatoid arthritis who is also deaf, requiring sign language for communication with excellent results.
