We observed several cases of heterotopic bone formation after a 1,2 intercompartmental supraretinacular artery (1,2 ICSRA) distal radius vascularized bone graft (VBG) for the treatment of scaphoid nonunion. This adverse event seems underreported. Knowledge about factors associated with the formation of heterotopic bone after VBGs might help reduce this adverse event.

Methods: Breast cancer patients (2017-2018) were retrieved from the Netherlands Cancer Registry and the Cancer Registry of Norway. Five European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists (EUSOMA) QIs were assessed: two on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), two on surgical approaches, and one on postoperative radiotherapy.
Background: In immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR), large variation is observed in current practices between a direct-to-implant and a two-stage approach (insertion of a breast implant after a tissue expander). This population-based study aimed to compare unplanned short- and long-term revision incidence between direct-to-implant and two-stage IBBR in The Netherlands.
Methods: All patients who underwent immediate IBBR following a mastectomy between 2015 and 2019 were selected from the nationwide Dutch Breast Implant Registry.
Background: There is no consensus regarding the impact of oncoplastic surgery (OPS) on rates of re-excision and conversion to mastectomy following breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Here these two outcomes after BCS and OPS were compared in a nationwide population-based setting.
Methods: In Denmark, all OPS is registered and categorized into volume displacement, volume reduction or volume replacement.
