Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic procedures for treating Haglund disease have become more popular over the past decade due to their advantages over traditional methods, such as minimizing recovery time and complications.
- A study analyzing 14 patients who underwent endoscopic calcaneoplasty showed significant improvements in pain levels and overall foot function, with scores improving dramatically post-surgery.
- The results indicated that 85.7% of patients experienced positive outcomes, with no complications or need for reoperations, suggesting the technique is effective and reliable for this condition.

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.

Background: Distal radius fracture (DRF) is one of the most common fractures and, frequently, surgical treatment is mandatory in the presence of an intra-articular fracture. However, there are some unusual intra-articular fracture patterns, were it remains challenging to properly recognize and anatomically reconstruct the articular surface. The objective of the present study is to describe an intra-articular fracture pattern of the distal radius characterized by the presence of osteochondral laminar fragments, which could potentially require a different treatment to standard stabilization.
