Aims: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a potential complication of foot and ankle surgery. There is a lack of agreement on contributing risk factors and chemical prophylaxis requirements. The primary outcome of this study was to analyze the 90-day incidence of symptomatic VTE and VTE-related mortality in patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery and Achilles tendon (TA) rupture.

- Trochanteric bursitis, a common issue after total hip replacement (THR), can significantly impact a patient's quality of life; excising the trochanteric bursa might help prevent this complication.
- A study evaluated whether performing trochanteric bursectomy at the same time as THR reduces the occurrence of post-operative bursitis by comparing outcomes from 954 patients over 11 years.
- Findings showed that bursectomy did not significantly lower the incidence of post-operative bursitis, though it did help some patients with existing bursitis and hip osteoarthritis during surgery.
