Interdigital nerve decompression with relocation was performed on 82 feet in 78 patients. The primary indication for surgery was chronic neuritic symptoms that did not resolve with conservative treatment. All but four patients (95%) achieved complete resolution of preoperative symptoms within an average of 7 days following surgery, with full sensation restored at an average of 5 weeks. All of the patients could tolerate a shoe with a wide toe box within 8 days postoperatively. Interdigital nerve decompression with relocation provides for rapid resolution of neuritic symptoms and early return to normal activities. It is also a relatively easy surgical technique. As such, nerve decompression with relocation should be the procedure of choice for the treatment of Morton's neuroma or interdigital nerve compression syndrome.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the changes in the mandibular canal following the treatment of large odontogenic keratocysts through decompression and curettage, providing a theoretical basis for sequential treatment.
Methods: Twenty patients were selected for each decompression and curettage treatment of large odontogenic keratocysts in the mandible. Postoperative follow-up with was conducted every three months, during which cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed.

Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF1) presents complex challenges due to its multisystemic effects, including kyphoscoliosis, dural ectasia, and arteriovenous fistulas (AVF). We present a case of a 31-year-old male with NF1 exhibiting severe cervical kyphoscoliosis, dural ectasia, a bisected cervical cord, and an arteriovenous fistula, highlighting the intricacies of managing such intricate cases. Rapid weakening in the patient's right arm and leg prompted imaging revealing severe cervical kyphotic deformity and a dural fold dividing the spinal cord.

Background: Nerve transection with nerve reconstruction is part of the treatment algorithm for patients with refractory pain after greater occipital nerve (GON) and lesser occipital nerve (LON) decompression or during primary decompression when severe nerve injury or neuroma formation is present. Importantly, the residual nerve stump is often best addressed via contemporary nerve reconstruction techniques to avoid recurrent pain. As a primary aim of this study, nerve capping is explored as a potential viable alternative that can be utilized in certain headache cases to mitigate pain.

Article Synopsis
- - Microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm (HFS) linked to the vertebral artery (VA) is challenging due to issues like atherosclerosis and artery tortuosity, leading to lower success rates and more complications.
- - A new technique, called the "bridge technique," involves using a rigid Teflon bar to create a secure space that decompresses the nerve without extensive manipulation, making it more effective than traditional methods involving small artery relocation.
- - The video accompanying the study showcases the bridge technique and outlines its benefits, such as better nerve decompression and reduced surgical risks, while also considering potential drawbacks of this innovative approach.
