Article Synopsis
- Longitudinal melanonychia (LM) is a pigmented nail band caused by melanin overproduction from melanocytes in the nail matrix, often benign but potentially indicating subungual melanoma.
- Diagnosis of melanoma involves assessing biographical, clinical, and dermoscopic criteria, but a definitive diagnosis requires a matrix biopsy for pathological examination.
- Effective biopsy techniques should minimize nail dystrophy while allowing for complete lesion removal; minor lesions up to 3 mm can be removed safely, while larger ones may require different biopsy methods or complete nail unit resection if melanoma is strongly suspected.
Free Fibula Flap in Traumatic Femoral Bone Reconstruction: A 10-year Review.
Strategies Trauma Limb Reconstr
January 2023
Introduction: The loss of femoral bone substance represents a major therapeutic issue. When the loss of bone substance is extensive, or the local condition is unfavourable, there are few satisfactory solutions. In this study, we share our experience of large femoral bone reconstruction by free fibula flap.

Objective: Our aim was to obtain the normal values of pH-MII variables among healthy asymptomatic volunteers in a metropolitan Health Care Center of Argentina, and to compare them with data already published from other regions around the world.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken in a tertiary referral center in Buenos Aires.
Ulnar impaction syndrome (UIS) is a frequent cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain. Several open and arthroscopic surgery techniques have been described. Ulnar shortening osteotomy (USO) is often the method of choice.
