In vivo soft tissue compressive properties of the human hand.

ABSTRACT:

Background/purpose

Falls onto outstretched hands are the second most common sports injury and one of the leading causes of upper extremity injury. Injury risk and severity depends on forces being transmitted through the palmar surface to the upper extremity. Although the magnitude and distribution of forces depend on the soft tissue response of the palm, the in vivo properties of palmar tissue have not been characterized. The purpose of this study was to characterize the large deformation palmar soft tissue properties.

Methods

In vivo dynamic indentations were conducted on 15 young adults (21-29 years) to quantify the soft tissue characteristics of over the trapezium. The effects of loading rate, joint position, tissue thickness and sex on soft tissue responses were assessed.

Results

Energy absorbed by the soft tissue and peak force were affected by loading rate and joint angle. Energy absorbed was 1.7-2.8 times higher and the peak force was 2-2.75 times higher at high rate loading than quasistatic rates. Males had greater energy absorbed than females but not at all wrist positions. Damping characteristics were the highest in the group with the thickest soft tissue while damping characteristics were the lowest in group with the thinnest soft tissues.

Conclusion

Palmar tissue response changes with joint position, loading rate, sex, and tissue thickness. Accurately capturing these tissue responses is important for developing effective simulations of fall and injury biomechanics and assessing the effectiveness of injury prevention strategies.

Enhancing aesthetic outcomes of soft-tissue coverage of the hand.

Project description:Hand aesthetics in general and aesthetic refinements of soft-tissue coverage of the hand in particular have been increasingly considered over the past few years. Advancements of microsurgery together with the traditional methods of tissue transfer have expanded the number of techniques available to the reconstructive surgeon, thus shifting the reconstructive paradigm from simply "filling the defect" to reconstructive refinement to provide the best functional and aesthetic results. However, drawing the boundary between what does and what does not constitute "aesthetic" reconstruction of the hand is not straightforward. The selection among the vast amount of currently available reconstructive methods and the difficulties in objectively measuring or quantifying aesthetics have made this task complex and rather arbitrary. In this article, the authors divide the hand into several units and subunits to simplify the understanding of the basic functional and aesthetic requirements of these regions that may ultimately bring order to complexity.

Soft tissue sarcomas of the hand: functional reconstruction and outcome analysis.

Project description:Functional hand reconstruction following treatment of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) is a difficult surgical problem. Because survival rates between amputation and limb salvage do not differ, there is a trend toward reconstruction. Unlike amputation, hand salvage usually requires multiple complex operations in combination with adjuvant radiation or chemotherapy, prolonged rehabilitation, and carries a high complication rate. We investigated tumor recurrence, survival, and scored functional outcomes to determine if limb salvage is justified after hand STS resection. Patients treated for hand STS between years 1985 and 2005 were reviewed by two surgeons in three medical centers. All patients having functional reconstruction instead of amputation were reviewed. Patient demographics, tumor type and grade, resection extent, reconstruction procedure, timing, adjuvant therapy use, complications, tumor recurrence, survival, and functional outcome were recorded and analyzed. Five patients underwent functional reconstruction for hand STS. All patients underwent attempted curative resections, and four patients received neoadjuvant or postoperative radiation therapy. Three patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. Reconstructive techniques included three modified pollicizations, one free-tissue transfer, and one groin flap. All patients were alive and disease-free at a mean follow-up of 5 years (range 1.5-17 years). Three patients (60%) had local complications, requiring secondary surgeries. Two complications were related to radiation therapy. Hand function was evaluated using the Enneking Scoring System, and ranged from 17 to 28. The average Enneking score was 22.4, representing an average preservation of 74.6% of function. Because most patients retain excellent function and survival is unaffected, we advocate functional reconstruction despite high complication rates.

Evaluation of dehydrated human umbilical cord biological properties for wound care and soft tissue healing.

Project description:Chronic wounds are a significant health care problem with serious implications for quality of life because they do not properly heal and often require therapeutic intervention. Amniotic membrane allografts have been successfully used as a biologic therapy to promote soft tissue healing; however, the umbilical cord, another placental-derived tissue, has also recently garnered interest because of its unique composition but similar placental tissue origin. The aim of this study was to characterize PURION® PLUS Processed dehydrated human umbilical cord (dHUC) and evaluate the biological properties of this tissue that contribute to healing. This was performed through the characterization of the tissue composition, evaluation of in vitro cellular response to dHUC treatment, and in vivo bioresorption and tissue response in a rat model. It was observed that dHUC contains collagen I, hyaluronic acid, laminin, and fibronectin. Additionally, 461 proteins that consist of growth factors and cytokines, inflammatory modulators, chemokines, proteases and inhibitors, adhesion molecules, signaling receptors, membrane-bound proteins, and other soluble regulators were detected. Cell-based assays demonstrated an increase in adipose-derived stem cell and mesenchymal stem cell proliferation, fibroblast migration and endothelial progenitor cell vessel formation in a dose-dependent manner after dHUC treatment. Lastly, rat subcutaneous implantation demonstrated biocompatibility since dHUC allografts were resorbed without fibrous encapsulation. These findings establish that dHUC possesses biological properties that stimulate cellular responses important for soft tissue healing. © 2018 The Authors.

Elective amputation and bionic substitution restore functional hand use after critical soft tissue injuries.

Project description:Critical soft tissue injuries may lead to a non-functional and insensate limb. In these cases standard reconstructive techniques will not suffice to provide a useful outcome, and solutions outside the biological arena must be considered and offered to these patients. We propose a concept which, after all reconstructive options have been exhausted, involves an elective amputation along with a bionic substitution, implementing an actuated prosthetic hand via a structured tech-neuro-rehabilitation program. Here, three patients are presented in whom this concept has been successfully applied after mutilating hand injuries. Clinical tests conducted before, during and after the procedure, evaluating both functional and psychometric parameters, document the benefits of this approach. Additionally, in one of the patients, we show the possibility of implementing a highly functional and natural control of an advanced prosthesis providing both proportional and simultaneous movements of the wrist and hand for completing tasks of daily living with substantially less compensatory movements compared to the traditional systems. It is concluded that the proposed procedure is a viable solution for re-gaining highly functional hand use following critical soft tissue injuries when existing surgical measures fail. Our results are clinically applicable and can be extended to institutions with similar resources.

A treatment algorithm for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the hand: a narrative review.

Project description:The hand is the highly specialized distal construct of the upper limb with complex and intricate anatomy. Soft tissue defects can compromise this and result in significant functional impairment. Choosing the optimal reconstructive modality is essential for the best functional recovery. The objective of this narrative review was to provide a treatment algorithm for soft tissue defects in the hand. Relevant literature for the topic was searched from PubMed and Cochrane Database from year 1953 up till end of November 2022. Specified searches for randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews and reviews were performed. There are no randomized controlled trials published on this topic. There are six systematic reviews or meta-analyses published. Most of the literature still comprises on expert opinion and case reports with few previously proposed algorithms. Defect features, size, location and depth, patient related factors and available resources are the main determinants of the treatment strategy. In the hand, there are reasonable locoregional coverage options, but microsurgical options should be a routine alternative of the treatment repertoire. In the thumb and fingers, the reconstruction depends remarkably on injury extent. Patient factors, surgical expertise, etiology, severity and goal of reconstruction will invariably have influence on the ultimate reconstruction performed, and algorithms may significantly help the surgical planning.

Project description:Studies concerning the mechanical properties of the human periodontal ligament under dynamic compression are rare. This study aimed to determine the viscoelastic properties of the human periodontal ligament under dynamic compressive loading. Ten human incisor specimens containing 5 maxillary central incisors and 5 maxillary lateral incisors were used in a dynamic mechanical analysis. Frequency sweep tests were performed under the selected frequencies between 0.05 Hz and 5 Hz with a compression amplitude that was 2% of the PDL's initial width. The compressive strain varied over a range of 4%-8% of the PDL's initial width. The storage modulus, ranging from 28.61 MPa to 250.21 MPa, increased with the increase in frequency. The loss modulus (from 6.00 MPa to 49.28 MPa) also increased with frequency from 0.05 Hz- 0.5 Hz but remained constant when the frequency was higher than 0.5 Hz. The tan? showed a negative logarithmic correlation with frequency. The dynamic moduli and the loss tangent of the central incisor were higher than those of the lateral incisor. This study concluded that the human PDL exhibits viscoelastic behavior under compressive loadings within the range of the used frequency, 0.05 Hz- 5 Hz. The tooth position and testing frequency may have effects on the viscoelastic properties of PDL.

A novel radiopaque tissue marker for soft tissue localization and in vivo length and area measurements.

Project description:PURPOSE:The purpose of the study was to describe the characteristics and demonstrate proof-of-concept and clinical use of a barium sulfate infused polypropylene radiopaque tissue marker for soft tissue localization and in vivo measurement of lengths and areas. METHODS:Marker mechanical properties were evaluated by tensile tests. Biocompatibility was evaluated following 8-12 weeks' implantation in a pig model. Proof-of-concept of marker application was performed in a human cadaveric shoulder model, and methods for CT imaging and measurement of dimensions were established. Lastly, the method of clinical use of the markers was described in one patient undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR). RESULTS:The radiopaque markers had a tensile strength of 28 ±4.7 N and were associated with minimal to mild inflammatory tissue reaction similar to polypropylene control. CT-based measurements showed relatively high precisions for lengths (0.66 mm), areas (6.97 mm2), and humeral orientation angles (2.1°) in the cadaveric model, and demonstrated 19 ±3 mm medio-lateral tendon retraction and 227 ±3 mm2 increase in tendon area in the patient during 26 weeks following RCR. No radiographic leaching, calcification or local adverse events were observed. CONCLUSIONS:The radiopaque tissue marker was biocompatible and had adequate strength for handling and affixation to soft tissues using standard suturing techniques. The marker could be used with low-dose, sequential CT imaging to quantitatively measure rotator cuff tendon retractions with clinically acceptable accuracy. We envision the radiopaque tissue marker to be useful for soft tissue localization and in vivo measurement of tissue and organ dimensions following surgery.

Resurfacing damaged articular cartilage to restore compressive properties.

Project description:Surface damage to articular cartilage is recognized as the initial underlying process causing the loss of mechanical function in early-stage osteoarthritis. In this study, we developed structure-modifying treatments to potentially prevent, stabilize or reverse the loss in mechanical function. Various polymers (chondroitin sulfate, carboxymethylcellulose, sodium hyaluronate) and photoinitiators (riboflavin, irgacure 2959) were applied to the surface of collagenase-degraded cartilage and crosslinked in situ using UV light irradiation. While matrix permeability and deformation significantly increased following collagenase-induced degradation of the superficial zone, resurfacing using tyramine-substituted sodium hyaluronate and riboflavin decreased both values to a level comparable to that of intact cartilage. Repetitive loading of resurfaced cartilage showed minimal variation in the mechanical response over a 7 day period. Cartilage resurfaced using a low concentration of riboflavin had viable cells in all zones while a higher concentration resulted in a thin layer of cell death in the uppermost superficial zone. Our approach to repair surface damage initiates a new therapeutic advance in the treatment of injured articular cartilage with potential benefits that include enhanced mechanical properties, reduced susceptibility to enzymatic degradation and reduced adhesion of macrophages.
