Today's hand edition covers four diverse topics in hand surgery. We examine a narrative review showing progressively shorter return-to-work times with less invasive carpal tunnel release techniques, a small case series demonstrating successful DRUJ stabilization with isolated ulnar shortening osteotomy, a prospective study revealing low lymphedema risk in post-breast cancer patients undergoing elective hand surgery, and a cost analysis comparing office-based versus hospital-based carpal tunnel procedures.
