Background: There is limited literature available that provide information about fixation methods for minimally invasive hallux valgus osteotomies. Our objective was to evaluate the strength of different fixation methods for a percutaneous extracapsular transverse cervical metatarsal (PTCM) osteotomy in a sawbone model.
Methods: Thirty solid foam sawbone foot models were used.
Adenomyoepithelioma of the breast (AB) is an uncommon tumor that is characterized by the biphasic proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial cells. The radiologic findings for AB have been scantly reported. This paper aims to analyze the characteristic findings for AB on ultrasonography (US) and mammography.

Subjects And Methods: A prospective study was performed to identify evidence of a parallel artery and vein in breast lesions consecutively biopsied with a 14-gauge needle under ultrasound guidance. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, likelihood ratios, and 95% CIs for the parallel artery and vein sign were calculated.
