Background: Metastatic spine tumor surgery (MSTS) is often complex and extensive leading to significant blood loss. Allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) is the mainstay of blood replenishment but with immune-mediated postoperative complications. Alternative blood management techniques (salvaged blood transfusion [SBT]) allow us to overcome such complications.

Humerus de-rotational osteotomies are one of the commonly done salvage procedures in children with residual brachial plexus birth injuries. Conventionally, the degree of angular correction was measured clinically intraoperatively by the ability to reach the occiput and the belly or it can be measured by putting reference k-wires at the appropriate angles. However, accurate angular correction is essential to success, as under-correction may lead to parental dissatisfaction and over-correction may lead to loss of mid-line function.

Introduction: Rhizarthrosis, or osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint, predominantly affects women over 50, with up to 30% experiencing some degree of arthritis in this joint. Traditional surgical approaches, such as trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction, can result in some patients in persistent pain or limited functionality. TMC ball-in-socket arthroplasty, with a cup placed in the distal scaphoid, offers a promising alternative to traditional arthrodesis or resection-suspension arthroplasty.
