This is a case study of a patient who was presented to the emergency room with ischemia of the left third, fourth and fifth fingers and a pulsatile mass in the hypothenar eminence. Non-invasive arterial exam of the upper extremities was performed bilaterally which resulted in normal pressures and normal blood flow velocities. The arterial duplex imaging was also normal in the subclavian, axillary, brachial, radial and ulnar arteries and also demonstrated triphasic Doppler flow velocities. The technologist scanned distal to the wrist where a branch of the ulnar artery along with the aspect of the palmer arch surface revealed a true aneuryms with both antegrade and retrograde flow. The patient was infused tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) for a total of 72 hours with eventual recanalization of the thrombosed aneurysm. Due to the high risk of limb threat the patient underwent a successful resection of the left ulnar artery aneurysm with vein patch.

We report on six patients of intramuscular lipoma of the hand. Four of them occurred in the thenar muscles and two in the hypothenar muscles. The mean age was 49 years (7–68 years). The duration of the lesions prior to excision was averaged as 35 months (12–60 months). Preoperative MRI was taken in all patients, and it was very useful for the diagnosis and differentiation between four well-circumscribed types and two infiltrative types. All operations were performed under loupe magnification. Preoperatively four patients with thenar lipoma had difficulty in moving their thumbs. Two out of four patients with lipomas in the thenar muscles had preoperative intermittent paresthesia and hyperesthesia caused by compression of the radial digital nerve of the thumb. Two patients with lipoma in the hypothenar eminence complained of difficulty with strong grip. The average diameter of the thenar group in its longest dimension was 5.2 cm (3–7 cm), and those of the hypothenar group was 5.5 cm (4–7 cm). At a mean follow-up of 55 months (21–91 months), no tumour had recurred.

An aneurysm of the palmar ulnar artery is rare and usually follows penetrating or blunt trauma to the hypothenar eminence. We report a case in which there was no history of trauma and the aneurysm may have been of congenital origin.

Ten intact wrist joints were examined to evaluate the hamate hook visualisation by a hamate hook lateral radiographic view. Results of the study indicated that this 30°-tilted lateral wrist radiographic projection with palmar abduction of the thumb clearly revealed the hamate hook from its base to the tip in the first web space away from the metacarpal bases and carpal bones. This radiographic technique was applied on patients who experienced pain at the hypothenar eminence. Fracture can be detected at the hamate hook in two cases and bilateral bipartite hamulus in one case. This specific supplementary projection is recommended in patients with the relevant physical signs.

Two delayed unions and one nonunion of hook of the hamate fractures in adults aged 31-, 40-, and 41-years-old were treated with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS). Ultrasound treatment was started at three, four, and six months after injury and ultrasound exposure at the hook of the hamate in the hypothenar eminence was carried out for four to five months. During the management period, there was no immobilisation with a cast or brace and limited strain with only routine daily activities allowed. In all cases, bony union was confirmed on carpal tunnel radiographs or computed tomography at the final follow-up time of eight and 36 months after injuries.

Swab Specimen

By testing adjacent sites on the hypothenar eminence of the palm, enriched with bacteria by massaging the forehead, we found that the numbers of bacteria recovered from the skin surface by a wet cotton swab in 30 s were not significantly different from the numbers obtained by a brisk scrubbing with a blunted Teflon policeman for 120 s. This was true of aerobes (gram-positive cocci) and anaerobes (propionibacteria). If the same site on the palm was swabbed two times for 15 s each time, 67 to 94% of the total recovered bacteria were obtained on the first swab. Differential localization of bacteria into surface and subsurface populations was accomplished by first swabbing a test skin site to assay the surface flora and then scrubbing the same site to test for subsurface organisms. On the palm the swab yielded more aerobes and anaerobes than did the subsequent scrub. On the forehead the scrub yielded three to eight times as many anaerobes as the preceding swab. In some tests gram-positive cocci were distributed on the forehead like propionibacteria (large excess in scrub specimen); in other tests their numbers were similar in the swab and scrub specimens or there was a large excess in the swab specimen. These results indicate that there was no substantial subsurface flora on the palm. On the forehead propionibacteria were predominantly in deeper locations in all tests; gram-positive cocci were variable: in some test sites they were largely at the surface, whereas at other sites a predominance of cocci was in subsurface locations.
