Introduction: The modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5) has been recently proposed as a useful tool for predicting postoperative complications in orthopedic surgery. We aimed to analyze the utility of this score in predicting complications and reoperations after hallux valgus (HV) deformity surgery.
Methods: 551 patients undergoing percutaneous HV corrective surgery were retrospectively reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- The modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5) was evaluated for its effectiveness in predicting postoperative complications and reoperations following hallux valgus surgery.
- A study involving 551 patients categorized them into non-frail, pre-frail, and frail groups based on their comorbidities, observing complication and reoperation rates.
- Results indicated that while frail patients had higher complication rates and worse outcomes, the mFI-5 did not significantly predict complications or reoperations, suggesting a need for alternative assessment methods in evaluating surgical risks.
Percutaneous hallux valgus surgery: comparison between mini-invasive Chevron and Bosch osteotomies.

September 2021
Background And Objective: Through percutaneous approaches, hallux valgus corrections can be performed with minimal soft tissue injury, less postoperative pain and good cosmetic results. Bosch osteotomy and MICA (Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin) have shown to be effective techniques for the correction of hallux valgus, although there are currently no publications comparing each other. The aim of this study is to compare the radiological and functional results of both techniques.

There is no evidence of the relation between obesity and percutaneous foot surgery. Our objective was to evaluate obesity as a risk factor for complications and reoperations in percutaneous surgery of the hallux valgus.

Hallux arthrodesis with an endomedullary screw fixation provides compression and axial stability. The aim of this study was to describe the procedure and evaluate our first results of the minimally invasive first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis with an endomedullary screw combined with a crossed screw fixation.

It is often underdiagnosed. Talus bipartitus is a rare anatomical variant; only a few cases have been described in medical literature.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results in a group of patients who underwent first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis with an endomedullary screw fixation technique (MPA-E).
Methods: Between 2003 and 2009, 101 metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis were performed in 76 patients. There were 64 women and 12 men with an average age of 68 years.
