Background: Oblique shortening osteotomy (Weil) can address lesser MP pathology but can have a high rate of complications. The purpose of this study was to review the results of a modification of the Weil osteotomy, the segmental resection metatarsal osteotomy.
Materials And Methods: Between 2004 and 2006, 48 patients underwent the segmental resection osteotomy with a mean followup of 13 (range, 6 to 26) months. All the patients were evaluated with the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) forefoot score and a questionnaire addressing distances they were able to walk, work limitations, sporting activity, and overall satisfaction.
Results: The postoperative AOFAS forefoot score was an average of 87.6 (range, 59 to 100; SD, 10.97) and the overall satisfaction rate was 85.4%. The complication rate was 18.8% for transfer metatarsalgia, 27.1% for floating toes, 35.4% for toe weakness, 14.6% for infection, and 10.4% for wound healing problems.
Conclusions: Despite the complications, the patients who underwent segmental osteotomy were satisfied with the outcome for lesser MTP joint pain and deformity. This is a preliminary study with significant refinement of the operative method as detailed in the surgical technique section. Further followup will elucidate whether additional changes are necessary in the surgical technique.

External validation of a multivariable prediction model for positive resection margins in breast-conserving surgery.
BMC Res Notes

Department of Surgery, Department of Clinical Sciences, Division of Surgery, Skåne University Hospital, Lund University, Lund, Sweden.
Objectives: Positive resection margins after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) most often demands a repeat surgery. To preoperatively identify patients at risk of positive margins, a multivariable model has been developed that predicts positive margins after BCS with a high accuracy. This study aimed to externally validate this prediction model to explore its generalizability and assess if additional preoperatively available variables can further improve its predictive accuracy.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated with major vasculature tumor extension is considered an advanced stage of disease to which palliative radiotherapy or chemotherapy is proposed. Surgical resection associated with chemotherapy or chemoembolization could be an opportunity to improve overall survival and recurrence-free survival in selected cases in a high-volume hepatobiliary center. Moreover, it has been 25 years since Couinaud described the entity of a posterior liver located behind an axial plane crossing the portal bifurcation.

: Defects in maxillary and mandibular continuity are common in maxillofacial practice. They can occur after trauma, osteonecrosis, congenital jaw deformities, or surgical resection of benign or malignant tumours. Reconstruction with microvascular bone flaps and subsequent prosthetic rehabilitation is considered the contemporary first line treatment.

: Medullary carcinoma of the small intestine is an exceptionally rare subtype of gastrointestinal cancer, characterized by its solid growth pattern and lack of glandular structures, which complicate timely diagnosis. During the COVID-19 pandemic, diagnostic delays for rare cancers became increasingly common due to the prioritization of COVID-related cases and patient reluctance to seek medical attention. : We present the case of a 70-year-old male initially misdiagnosed with COVID-19, whose persistent symptoms led to the eventual discovery of medullary carcinoma.

Unlabelled: Mandibular reconstruction is essential for restoring both function and aesthetics after segmental resection due to tumoral pathology. This study aimed to conduct a comparative analysis of three reconstruction strategies for defects resulting from segmental mandibular resection, utilizing finite element analysis (FEA).
Methods: A digital model of the mandible was created from CBCT data and optimized for FEA.
