This article presents the current understanding of soft tissue hand tumors and the best options for treating them. The majority of soft tissue hand tumors are benign. Discussion includes hand tumors of fibrous and adipose tissue origin, determining the diagnostic and therapeutic pathways for these tumors, and controversial treatment issues.
Operating on the pediatric lower extremity has its own inherent challenges due to the diversity of the problems, the smaller size of the patient, and the often-distorted anatomy associated with congenital malformations. Additional concerns arise with respect to positioning on the operating table to meet the surgeon's comfort, the anesthesiologist's need for proximity, and facility of radiographic imaging. The authors use a standard hand table to ameliorate these additional concerns without allocation of additional hospital resources.
