Treatment of irreducible second metatarsophalangeal joint dislocation by double percutaneous osteotomy: Haspell and distal metatarsal mini-invasive osteotomy.

Subluxation or dislocation of the second metatarsophalangeal joint may be commonly associated with crossover toe, metatarsalgia, and painful calluses. This retrospective study aims to evaluate the clinical and functional results in patients with irreducible second metatarsophalangeal joint dislocation treated by double percutaneous osteotomy in one step: Haspell's osteotomy and Distal Metatarsal Mini-Invasive Osteotomy. A total of 39 patients were included in this study.

Role of lateral soft tissues release in percutaneous hallux valgus correction: A medium term retrospective study.

Background: In the field of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for the treatment of hallux valgus (HV), different techniques have begun to emerge in the literature concerning the distal osteotomy of the first metatarsal bone, the synthesis or not of the metatarsal head, the possible association with lateral soft tissues release (LSTR) and osteotomy of the base of the first phalanx.

Aim: To evaluate the role of LSTR on percutaneous HV correction, evaluating functional and radiographical results.

Methods: From January 2012 to May 2016 a total of 396 patients with mild to moderate symptomatic HV treated with the MIS technique were included in this retrospective study.

Revision of total knee arthroplasty with press-fit condylar SIGMA TC3-mobile bearing system and porous metaphyseal sleeves in type AORI type II and III bone defects. A long-term follow-up study.

Background And Aim: Revision total knee arthroplasty(rTKA) is a challenging and expensive treatment for orthopedic surgeons who have to deal with poor bone quality and bone loss. This study aims to retrospectively evaluate the clinical and radiological results of patients undergoing rTKA and porous metaphyseal sleeves in AORI type II and III bone defects.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective series of continuous patients treated for mechanical failure of TKA.

The major proximal femoral defects: megaprosthesis in non oncological patients - A case series.

We identified 39 patients (23 female and 16 male) underwent hip revisions through mega-prosthesis. The most common causes were periprosthetic fractures, periprosthetic osteolysis and consequences of infected arthroplasty. The average follow-up was 5 years (2.
