Percutaneus intermetatarsal ligament release and minimally invasive distal metatarsal osteotomy for treatment second intermetatarsal space syndrome.

Background And Objective: Since the description of the syndrome of the second intermetatarsal space, this is a common diagnosis among foot and ankle surgeons.

Does delaying surgery for "healthy" hip fracture patients have increased complications and mortality?

Introduction: Surgical delay is one of the risk factors for mortality and morbidity in patients with HF. One of the causes of delay is due to admission on Thursday-Friday, weekends, holidays or previous periods. The final objective of this study is to analyze administrative-organizational delay in complication and mortality rates.

O-POSSUM score predicts morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the O-POSSUM score capacity to predict the morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of patients older than 65years old, operated on for hip fractures between January 2012 and December 2013. Of 229 patients, the mean age was 82.
