Pincer nail deformity is a severe condition in which the nail bed becomes compressed and the nail shows an overcurvature. We retrospectively analyzed 13 pincer nail deformities treated using our nail plate and bed reconstruction technique. Visual analogue scale scores, the width of nail root, width of nail tip, height of nail tip, width index, and height index were assessed before and after surgery.

- This study investigates the effects of early vs. late weight-bearing in patients with fifth metatarsal base fractures, a common foot injury.
- A total of 86 patients were divided into four groups based on their treatment method and weight-bearing status, and evaluated for bone healing and recovery scores.
- Results indicated that all groups achieved bone union around 6.9 weeks, with earlier unions and less bone resorption in those that were allowed to bear weight early, suggesting that early weight-bearing may be beneficial.
