Background: Complex lower extremity defects are difficult to cover and often require multiple free tissue transfers. Chimeric anterolateral thigh free flaps (ALTF) and peroneal artery perforator free flaps (PAPF) have been designed specifically as an alternative for reconstruction with arterial end-to-side (ETS) anastomosis. We aimed to assess our institutional experience with this technique and to define its role in complex lower extremity reconstruction.

- Calcaneal fractures are common foot injuries, and the study focuses on the effectiveness of using sustentaculum tali (ST) screws in conjunction with calcaneal locking plates for treating displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs).
- The research involved 64 patients, comparing two treatment methods: one using both a locking plate and ST screws and the other using only a locking plate, with evaluations conducted after at least 18 months.
- Results showed that patients who received the combined treatment had better functional outcomes and less postoperative pain, indicating that the addition of the ST screw enhances clinical results without significantly affecting radiographic measures.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the treatment of old bony mallet fingers using modified double K-wires for fracture fixation and assessed long-term functional outcomes for patients.
- Forty-nine patients underwent surgery, split into two groups receiving either triple K-wires or modified double K-wires with a dorsal brace, with various parameters monitored during recovery.
- Results showed that the double K-wire method led to quicker surgeries, less radiation exposure, and better finger movement, while both methods had similar overall satisfaction and low complication rates.

Methods: We performed a comprehensive search on PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Scientific Journal Databases, Wan Fang database and China biology medicine disc for relevant studies published before June 2019. Glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were used as indicators for T2DM.
