First metatarsal osteotomy with an intramedullary locking plate is a good alternative for the reintervention of recurrent hallux valgus.

This study describes the results of first metatarsal (M1) distal osteotomy with an intramedullary locking plate in persistent/recurrent painful hallux valgus (HV) deformity (without advanced degenerative changes) after primary surgery. Outcomes included postoperative incidences of HV angle (HVA)<16°, intermetatarsal angle (IMA)<9°, proximal articular set angle (PASA)<10°, and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score. Data normality was assessed with the Shapiro-Wilk test, and preoperative vs.

Hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis and risk of persistent systemic inflammatory response syndrome.

Background: The mechanisms responsible for the development of acute pancreatitis (AP) and its complications are not fully understood.

Aim: To assess the role of clinical and host molecular factors for the development and outcome of persistent systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in patients with AP.

Methods: We included 191 patients with AP in the study.
