Complications after cosmetic limb lengthening, a specialized center experience.

Background: Cosmetic limb lengthening has been rapidly growing ever since the advent of the external fixators magnetic lengthening nails. Similar to all surgical procedures, cosmetic limb lengthening is not risk free. This paper presents a series of complications encountered and treated at a specialized limb lengthening and deformity correction center, along with an analysis of potential risk factors.

Neck shaft angle deviation in patients undergoing femoral limb lengthening, a retrospective study.

Purpose: Previous studies have shown that subtrochanteric femoral fractures treated with intramedullary nails might lead to varus-procurvatum malalignment. Similar results have been reported when using antegrade intramedullary lengthening nails (ILNs). The purpose of our study is to examine if antegrade telescoping intramedullary lengthening nails lead to varus-procurvatum malalignment of the proximal femur and what are possible predictors of that shift.

Efficacy and Safety of Anti-B-Cell Maturation Antigen Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell for the Treatment of Relapsed and Refractory AL Amyloidosis.

Purpose: The use of anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) therapy for AL amyloidosis (AL) is limited owing to patient frailty. HBI0101 anti-BCMA CART was the first proof of concept for its applicability to AL. This report addresses the AL patient cohort treated to date within the phase Ia/Ib clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.

Using a Popular Video Platform to Assess Patient Perceptions of Clubfoot Deformity.

Background: In today's world, individuals receive much of their medical information from the Internet, including social media platforms such as the increasingly popular TikTok, a video-sharing site.

Belantamab Mafodotin in Relapsed/Refractory AL Amyloidosis: Real-World Multi-Center Experience and Review of the Literature.

Introduction: Treatment for relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis (AL) is an unmet need. The safety and efficacy of belantamab mafodotin (BLM) in multiple myeloma are known, whereas in AL data are limited.

Methods: We report a multi-center cohort of AL patients receiving BLM, and review all previous data on BLM therapy in AL.
