Percutaneus intermetatarsal ligament release and minimally invasive distal metatarsal osteotomy for treatment second intermetatarsal space syndrome.

Background And Objective: Since the description of the syndrome of the second intermetatarsal space, this is a common diagnosis among foot and ankle surgeons. However, no series have been published that consider this syndrome as its own entity. The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of the release of the intermetatarsal ligament and minimally invasive distal metatarsal osteotomy in patients diagnosed with second space syndrome.

Influence of sesamoid position after scarf osteotomy for hallux valgus on patient-reported outcome. A prospective cohor study.

Background: The objective was to evaluate the influence of the postoperative sesamoid position as measured with conventional radiographs on the patient-reported outcome after scarf osteotomy. The hypothesis was that incomplete reduction of the sesamoid would result in a decreased functional outcome.

Methods: Eighty-two patients who underwent scarf osteotomy for hallux valgus were prospectively assessed for up to two postoperative years.

O-POSSUM score predicts morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the O-POSSUM score capacity to predict the morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of patients older than 65years old, operated on for hip fractures between January 2012 and December 2013. Of 229 patients, the mean age was 82.
