Abnormal scaphoid fat pad: is it a reliable sign of fracture scaphoid.

In a retrospective study, initial radiographs of 40 proven cases of scaphoid fractures and 40 cases where fractures of scaphoid were eventually excluded were examined in a 'blinded' fashion. In none of these radiographs was a fracture line demonstrated by people who did not know the outcome. In 4 patients with proven fracture, normal scaphoid fat pads were demonstrated; a 10% 'false negative' result and in 9 patients without fracture, abnormal scaphoid fat pads were seen; a 23% 'false positive' result. The authors conclude that the scaphoid fat pad sign is a poor predictor of scaphoid fracture, even though a positive scaphoid fat pad sign indicates that an underlying fracture is likely.

Surgery of Morton's neuroma: dorsal or plantar approach?

In this prospective study, 52 patients with 55 neuromas were studied in two groups. 26 patients underwent excision of the neuroma through a plantar approach and 26 through a dorsal approach. Average follow-up was 3.1 years after excision. Histology confirmed a neuroma in 51 cases. Results show that in the dorsal group weight-bearing and return to work was faster, and the duration of hospital stay was shorter, than in the plantar group. There were five painful scars in the plantar group and two in the dorsal group.
