Background: There is limited evidence supporting the optimal use of fistuloplasty to maintain vascular access at various lesion sites, despite its critical role in facilitating renal replacement therapy and the overall high failure rates of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). This study aims to identify covariates affecting primary and secondary patency following fistuloplasty of native upper limb vascular access AVFs.
Methods: This retrospective study included all patients who underwent fistuloplasty at a tertiary vascular centre over 4 years.
Background: Soft tissue release for hallux valgus correction is traditionally performed through a dorsal first web space incision. We performed a single surgeon series review of hallux valgus correction with Scarf±Akin osteotomy and lateral release using a single medial incision.
Methods: 192 feet were included.
