DRFs: Is Modifier 22 driven by case complexity or surgeon behavior? This study finds wide variation among surgeons, with higher use linked to hand fellowship training, longer OR time, and insurance type — not fracture pattern. jhandsurg.org/article/S0363-… #handsurgery #DRF #surgery

Unicortical and bicortical locking screws both provide sufficient stability during plate fixation of phalangeal fractures. Read more in this biomechanical cadaveric study in the May 2026 issue of JHS. jhandsurg.org/article/S0363-… #handsurgery #fracture #phalanx #surgery

DRFs: plates or pins? This RCT with an astounding 10-year follow-up shows good clinical results with both volar locked plating and external fixation with adjuvant pins. Read more in the May 2026 issue of JHS. jhandsurg.org/article/S0363-… #handsurgery #distalradius #fracture #surgery

What is the role of immobilization after a foveal TFCC repair? This systematic review in the May 2026 issue of JHS suggests that limiting forearm prono-supination for up to 6 weeks protects the repair. jhandsurg.org/article/S0363-… #handsurgery #wrist #tfcc #immobilization
