Skin hook is an important instrument for skin surgeries. There are situations, such as operating in a health camp or operating at a peripheral health center with a limited number of instruments, where skin hook is not available in the operation theater. We present an innovative design of skin hook, which can be prepared by surgeons in the operation theater with the help of readily available materials. The innovative skin hook is a simple, safe, and effective solution for performing skin surgeries in a limited-resource setup.

Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is a well-described potential cause of leg pain in high-level athletes and soldiers. Surgical treatment of chronic exertional compartment syndrome usually involves fasciotomy, with a reported rate of complications of up to 16%, including failure of complete compartmental release and delayed return to normal daily activity, which can take up to 6 to 12 weeks. The use of a minimally invasive approach under ultrasound guidance seems to improve clinical outcomes in young active patients.

Article Synopsis
- Metatarsal fractures, particularly affecting the fifth metatarsal, are common injuries, making up 5-6% of outpatient fractures, with zone 2 fractures—specifically Jones fractures—being difficult to manage due to poor blood supply and higher nonunion rates.
- Surgical treatment, particularly open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), is preferred for Jones fractures, as it leads to better healing rates compared to conservative treatment methods.
- The surgical technique involves careful anatomical marking and using a guidewire for screw placement to compress the fracture, followed by a recovery period that includes non-weight-bearing and gradual weight-bearing activities.*
