Arthroscopic Arthrodesis of the First Metatarsophalangeal Joint in Hallux Varus.

Hallux varus deformity most commonly occurs as a complication of bunion surgery. Surgical option depends on the underlying cause, flexibility of the deformity, and presence of osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Joint-preserving surgery including medial soft tissue release, metatarsal osteotomy, and tendon transfer can be considered in flexible deformity without degeneration of the first metatarsophalangeal joint.

Endoscopically Assisted Reduction and Screw Fixation of Acute Fracture of the Posteromedial Talar Process (Cedell Fracture).

Fracture of the posteromedial talar process (Cedell fracture) is a rare injury and is usually associated with other injuries such as medial subtalar dislocation. Diagnosis of the fracture necessitates a heightened clinical suspicion, and computed tomography should be performed in any suspicious cases. Timely treatment is important for restoration of proper anatomy and function of the subtalar joint.

Nerve-Preserving Endoscopically Assisted Resection of Schwannoma of the Radial Nerve.

Schwannomas are the most common peripheral nerve tumors; they can present as painful masses or paresthesia. The aim of surgical treatment of a symptomatic schwannoma is total to gross total excision of the tumor along with preservation of the affected nerve and its function, particularly in patients with conserved functionality of a major nerve trunk. This Technical Note describes the technical details of nerve-preserving endoscopically assisted resection of a schwannoma of the radial nerve.
