Descriptive Quantitative Analysis of First Metatarsal Sagittal Plane Motion.

Evaluation of the sagittal plane motion of the first ray is a commonly accepted physical examination technique performed during the assessment and treatment of the hallux valgus deformity. Excessive or abnormal motion in this location, termed "hypermobility," has also traditionally been strongly associated with surgical decision-making and serves as a widely accepted indication for performance of the first metatarsal-medial cuneiform arthrodesis procedure. The objective of this investigation was to perform an analysis of first ray sagittal plane motion from a large population in order to determine the descriptive quantitative characteristics of the data set.

Longitudinal outcomes with cancer multigene panel testing in previously tested BRCA1/2 negative patients.

Although multigene panel testing (MGPT) is increasingly utilized in clinical practice, there remain limited data on patient-reported outcomes. BRCA 1/2 negative patients were contacted and offered MGPT. Patients completed pre- and posttest counseling, and surveys assessing cognitive, affective and behavioral outcomes at baseline, postdisclosure and 6 and 12 months.
