Third-Generation Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin Osteotomy for Hallux Valgus: Three-Year Outcomes.

Introduction: Numerous minimally invasive techniques have been developed for Hallux Valgus in recent years. Third-generation Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin (MICA) osteotomy has shown promising early results, but longer-term follow-up is required to assess whether patient clinical and radiological improvement is sustained. This cohort study presents three-year follow-up outcomes for patients of a single surgeon case series.

A Systematic Review of Open and Minimally Invasive Surgery for Treating Recurrent Hallux Valgus.

 Despite advancements in primary correction of hallux valgus (HV), significant rates of reoperation remain across common techniques, with complications following primary correction up to 50% according to some studies. 1 This study explored different methods of surgery currently used in treating HV recurrence specifically (for which literature on the subject has been limited), evaluating open and adapted minimally invasive surgical (MIS) primary techniques used for revision.  In December 2020, literature search for both open and MIS surgical techniques in HV revision was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE library databases.

Missed lateral end clavicle fracture in adolescent patients: The value of undertaking additional clavicle radiographic views.

Clavicle fractures are extremely common, accounting for 5%-10% of all pediatric fractures. Due to the increased radiation dose, additional radiographic views are less frequently performed, particularly in skeletally immature patients. In Trauma and Orthopedic practice, it is well known that 2 radiographic views are essential for any fracture assessment, with additional views such as oblique views for selected cases.

Closed midshaft clavicle fractures : an evidence-based triage management algorithm.

Aims: The management of mid-shaft clavicle fractures (MSCFs) has evolved over the last three decades. Controversy exists over which specific fracture patterns to treat and when. This review aims to synthesize the literature in order to formulate an appropriate management algorithm for these injuries in both adolescents and adults.

Correlations of morphological features and surgical management with clinical outcome in a multicentre study of 241 phyllodes tumours of the breast.

Aims: Phyllodes tumours (PTs) represent an unusual but complex group of breast lesions with a tendency to recur locally and, less commonly, metastasise. On core biopsies, their appearances can be difficult to discriminate from those of other fibroepithelial lesions, which may compromise their surgical management. The aims of this study were to assess the preoperative diagnosis of PTs and to evaluate the impacts of surgical management and morphological features on their behaviour.
