Background: Triple arthrodesis may be performed using various surgical approaches, most typically through two incisions and without structural bone graft. We have found that a single lateral incision allows adequate surgical exposure and structural bone graft facilitates lateral column reconstruction.
Methods: A consecutive series of 30 triple arthrodeses with additive bone graft using a single lateral incision. Outcome measures were SF12 score, Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire index score, visual analogue pain score and satisfaction scores, and radiographic assessment at 3, 6 and 12 months post-operatively.
Results: Statistically significant improvements were seen in all measured outcomes, except the SF12 mental component score. The union rate was 100% with no loss of correction at 12 months. Twenty-nine out of 30 patients were satisfied.
Conclusions: In this series, triple arthrodesis using structural allograft through a single lateral incision was safe and effective, with restoration and maintenance of surgical deformity correction and foot length.

Background: Headache disorders are prevalent often leading to disability. The rectus capitus posterior major muscle (RCPMaj) may contribute to headache symptoms via nociceptive convergence and myodural bridging.
Objectives: To establish guidelines for needle length and needle angle to mitigate risks during dry needling RCPMaj.

Background: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, the impact of prepectoral versus subpectoral implant reconstruction on nipple position, clinical outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after NSM remains unknown.
Objective: We hypothesized that prepectoral reconstruction would lead to a more anatomic nipple position and improved clinical outcomes and PROs as compared to subpectoral reconstruction following NSM.
Qualitative Comparison of Cultured Skin Microbiota From the Inguinal Region of Obese and Nonobese Patients Eligible for Hip Arthroplasty.

Background: With the rising prevalence of obesity, surgeons are frequently confronted with the problem of treating osteoarthritis of the hip via arthroplasty (total hip arthroplasty) in severely obese patients. To reduce the surgical impact, minimal-invasive approaches are often chosen. For this reason, the direct anterior approach has gained popularity but is suspected of leading to more wound complications in obese patients, especially by Gram-negative pathogens.

In cases where oral cancer spreads toward the maxillary tubercle, surgery may extend to the pterygopalatine fossa. There are 2 main extraoral approaches: anterior and lateral. Previously, we introduced a modified lateral approach with a mouth corner incision from the lower lip, that preserves the mental and marginal mandibular nerves.

A 34-year-old male patient with recently diagnosed with medullary thyroid carcinoma underwent total thyroidectomy and radical neck dissection, requiring sharp dissection to separate the tumour from the trachea. He required post operative intubation due to bilateral vocal cord paralysis. He developed ischaemic necrosis of the upper two thirds of the trachea presenting with marked surgical emphysema and an infective wound.
