Description

Minimally invasive procedures involve less dissection, less morbidity, less general anesthesia, and more patient interaction. These factors contribute to decreasing recovery time and improving outcomes for hand patients. Experts on minimally invasive techniques in Dupuytren’s and finger fracture management will discuss how and when to use new alternative therapies. Minimizing rupture, tenolysis and improper transfer tension with tourniquet-free surgery occurs when intraoperative adjustments are made while watching awake patients actively move reconstructed tendons and joints during hand, wrist and forearm surgery. Experts in arthroscopy and Botox therapy will share their best tips for simplifying the use of these tools. New advances in pronator syndrome diagnosis and surgery will be demonstrated with video.

Learning Objectives

Explain practical details of how to administer minimally painful local anesthesia for wide awake tendon repair and transfer.
Recognize when to use minimally invasive Dupuytren’s management (needle aponeurotomy vs. collagenase vs. surgery).
Outline useful techniques to simplify arthroscopic surgery.
Summarize how and when to administer Botox in hand diseases.
Explore ways to simplify diagnosis and surgery for pronator syndrome.
Demonstrate early protected movement with K-wired finger fractures.
