Abstract
The field of hand surgery continues to evolve in new and exciting directions. Advances in diagnosis and management for common complaints and complex injuries allow higher-level care, while still being cognizant of the cost of health care delivery. Indications and protocols for past paradigm shifts, such as volar locked plating for distal radial fractures, continue to be honed, and the outcomes seen for modern flexor tendon repairs are impressive. Open questions remain, but promising results for scaphoid nonunion surgery and peripheral nerve reconstruction with processed allograft will continue to shed light on these unsolved problems.
