Article Abstract
Background: Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) after resection of tarsal coalitions are sparse. This cross-sectional study evaluates the outcome after resection of tarsal coalitions in children using the validated Oxford Foot and Ankle Questionnaire (OxAFQ).
Methods: Tarsal coalition patients between 5-16 years of age from Aarhus University Hospital (Denmark) and The Royal London Hospital (United Kingdom) were included. The patients were identified using patient and theatre register. All patients and proxies filled in the PROM: OxAFQ-C and OxAFQ-proxy respectively. The scores were calculated within each domain and reported as means (95% confidence intervals). Talocalcaneal coalitions were compared to calcaneonavicular coalition with regard to OxAFQ score and re-operation rate.
Results: 27 patients and their proxies returned 54 questionnaires in total regarding 36 feet. Mean time from surgery to filling of the questionnaire was 25 (21-30) months. The relative mean OxAFQ score was higher in the School and Play and Emotional domain than the Physical domain, p = 0.007. The OxAFQ scores and re-operation rates were similar for both coalitions, p=0.63.
Conclusion: The OxAFQ PROM showed more encouraging results in playing or emotional health status than the physical health status. The outcome for both types of coalitions is similar. IV.

Tarsal coalitions in children are a group of disorders that typically present as a rigid flatfoot deformity. Operative treatment generally consists of resecting the coalition alone or resection plus flatfoot reconstructive procedures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate and risk factors for complications, including infection, recurrence, and reoperation, following the surgical management of tarsal coalitions in children.

Article Synopsis
- Maxillectomy, a surgical procedure for head and neck cancers, often leads to a high rate of ophthalmic complications due to its effects on the eye area, with this study evaluating such issues over a 20-year period at a university hospital.* -
- In a cohort of 101 out of 163 patients who had undergone maxillectomy, 95.6% experienced at least one ophthalmic complication, with the most common affecting the cornea/conjunctiva (56%), eyelids (48.4%), and the lacrimal system (38.5%).* -
- Factors influencing these complications included orbital floor resection and radiotherapy, with many patients requiring additional surgical interventions, like tissue

Objective: Potential disadvantages of open technique for talocalcaneal coalition (TCC) include a risk of wound infection, opioid drug dependence, and prolonged hospitalization. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic resection of the TCC.
Methods: A retrospective study from June 2019 to February 2023was conducted on 16 consecutively admitted patients who were diagnosed by imaging to have TCC for whom conservative treatment had failed and who undergone arthroscopic resection.
