Efficacy of partial toe and iliac bone transfer for reconstruction of grade I-III fingers' defects.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of using dorsal toe fibula composite flaps and iliac bone in sequential transplantation for the comprehensive reconstruction of fingers with grade I to III defects.

Methods: Between December 2020 and March 2024, data were collected from 36 patients who received complete finger reconstruction for grade I to III defects using dorsal toe fibula composite flaps and iliac bone in sequential transplantation. Postoperative evaluations included Carroll's hand function test scores, hand mobility disability assessments, and overall postoperative conditions.

Outcomes following modified chevron osteotomy combined with akin osteotomy for severe hallux valgus: A prospective study.

The definitive guideline for the osteotomy technique or the superiority of a particular surgical approach for severe hallux valgus correction remains elusive. Here, we investigated the clinical and radiographic outcomes following modified distal chevron osteotomy coupled with proximal Akin osteotomy to correct severe hallux valgus. A prospective cohort study was performed on 45 patients (62 feet) diagnosed with severe hallux valgus, undergoing the modified distal chevron osteotomy technique described in this study, combined with proximal Akin osteotomy.
