[Conservation surgery and early rehabilitation in massive necrotizing fasciitis of the lower limbs].

Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening infection. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential. Reconstruction techniques and rehabilitation protocols have been poorly described.

[Sequelae of late diagnosis and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip: case report and surgical technique description].

Developmental hip dysplasia (DHD) is a common entity that affects 4 out of every 1000 live births and is a recognized cause of secondary hip osteoarthritis despite routine perinatal controls. In most patients, the early diagnosis of the pathology allows an evolution without sequelae. However, in the basis that patients diagnosed late and with multiple surgeries are patients with open physis, ossification nuclei present and previous surgeries in the approach area, the late diagnosis represents a real challenge for the orthopedist.

What Is the Infection Rate of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Trigger Finger Release Performed Under Wide-Awake Anesthesia?

Background: High infection rates have been reported in hand procedures using the wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) method, causing some to question the validity of this approach. However, little evidence exists surrounding the direct use of WALANT compared with monitored anesthetic care (MAC). This study was conducted to directly compare the postoperative infection rates of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and trigger finger (TF) release surgeries performed under WALANT and MAC.
