[Suture of fresh Achilles tendon rupture. Comparison of open with percutaneous suture technique].

Introduction: The open repair of the acute Achilles' tendon rupture reduces the incidence of rerupture compared with nonsurgical treatment; however, it yields more surgical complications. Early mobilization of the patients improves the postoperative outcome. Percutaneous suture techniques have a low incidence of rerupture and improve the conditions for early mobilization.

Effect of surgeon expertise on the outcome in primary hyperparathyroidism.

Background: Success in surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is thought to be closely linked to surgical expertise. We investigated the effect of the surgeon's experience on the postoperative outcome in patients with PHPT.

Design: Cohort study with retrospective analysis.
