Dr Solomons was invited to talk at the South African Society for Surgery of the Hand. He gave three lectures during the conference:
1: A novel test to confirm Green 1 and 2 trigger finger. – This lecture describes a brand new test to uncover suspected trigger finger so the diagnosis is not in doubt
2: The Management of Chronic Dorsal Proximal Interphalangeal dislocations – when a patient presents late with this problem it can be difficult to decide what to do
3: Are you sure it’s Kienbock’s (before you submit your patient to an outrageously over – invasive surgical procedure) – This talk is designed to implore colleagues to be sure they are making the correct diagnosis as the consequences are dire ( Kienbocks = avascular necrosis of the Lunate bone)
