Introduction: The modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5) has been recently proposed as a useful tool for predicting postoperative complications in orthopedic surgery. We aimed to analyze the utility of this score in predicting complications and reoperations after hallux valgus (HV) deformity surgery.
Methods: 551 patients undergoing percutaneous HV corrective surgery were retrospectively reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- The modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5) was evaluated for its effectiveness in predicting postoperative complications and reoperations following hallux valgus surgery.
- A study involving 551 patients categorized them into non-frail, pre-frail, and frail groups based on their comorbidities, observing complication and reoperation rates.
- Results indicated that while frail patients had higher complication rates and worse outcomes, the mFI-5 did not significantly predict complications or reoperations, suggesting a need for alternative assessment methods in evaluating surgical risks.
Percutaneous hallux valgus surgery: comparison between mini-invasive Chevron and Bosch osteotomies.

Background And Objective: Through percutaneous approaches, hallux valgus corrections can be performed with minimal soft tissue injury, less postoperative pain and good cosmetic results. Bosch osteotomy and MICA (Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin) have shown to be effective techniques for the correction of hallux valgus, although there are currently no publications comparing each other. The aim of this study is to compare the radiological and functional results of both techniques.

Hallux arthrodesis with an endomedullary screw fixation provides compression and axial stability. The aim of this study was to describe the procedure and evaluate our first results of the minimally invasive first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis with an endomedullary screw combined with a crossed screw fixation.

Methods: The sample consisted of 223 patients who were diagnosed in accordance with the United Kingdom Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank who were assessed with both the MDS-TF and the PD-CRS criteria (in addition to other instruments) without the assessors' knowledge of previous results. Internal consistency was studied (homogeneity of the items and Guttmann's λ values were obtained) in addition to convergent, divergent, and discriminative validity.
