Purpose: Surgical reconstruction of large post-traumatic tibial bone and soft tissue defects following high-energy trauma presents a significant challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. This study aimed to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of large post-traumatic tibial bone and soft tissue defects managed by single or double-level bone transport using the Ilizarov technique.
Material & Methods: 13 patients who underwent treatment for large tibial bone defects (Gustillo IIIa, IIIb, IIIc) along with soft tissue defects with Ilizarov from 2010 to 2020 A.
Background: The Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Masters Program designated bariatric surgery as a clinical pathway. Among the tiers of the Masters Program, revisional bariatric surgery is the highest tier of "mastery" within the pathway. This article presents the top 10 seminal studies representing the current landscape of revisional bariatrics.

Despite the significant clinical benefits of bariatric surgery, nutritional deficiencies post-surgery remain a challenge for both patient and healthcare provider [Toninello et al. in Nutrients 13:1565, 2021, Gasmi et al.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Bariatric procedures increase patient risk of long-term metabolic complications primarily due to nutrient deficiencies. The mainstay of prevention includes routine vitamin and mineral supplementation; however, patient-reported barriers to daily compliance are poorly understood.
Methods: Post-bariatric surgery patients electively participated in an 11-point outpatient survey at a single academic institution.
