Background: Orbital hypertelorism is a rare congenital condition caused by craniofacial malformations. It consists of complete orbital lateralization, characterized by an increase in distance (above the 95 percentile) of the inner canthal (ICD), outer canthal, and interpupillary distances. It can be approached surgically, and the main techniques are box osteotomy and facial bipartition. The surgical procedure is usually performed before the age of 8. We describe here two patients who underwent late surgical correction using the box osteotomy technique.
Case Description: Patient 1: A 13-year-old female presenting isolated hypertelorism with 5 cm ICD and left eye amblyopia. Patient 2: A 15-year-old female with orbital hypertelorism, 4.6 cm ICD, and nasal deformity. Both patients underwent orbital translocation surgery and had no neurological disorders.
Conclusion: The article reports two cases of isolated hypertelorism treated late with the box osteotomy technique. Both surgeries were successful, with no postoperative complications. It appears that it is possible to obtain good surgical results even in patients who have not been able to undergo surgery previously.

Objective: Craniofacial clefts, characterized by congenital disruptions in the development of facial and cranial tissues, often present alongside orbital hypertelorism (ORH), an abnormal increase in the interorbital distance. These conditions pose significant challenges in craniofacial surgery due to the complex anatomical and functional considerations involved. This single-center cohort study retrospectively analyzed 22 patients diagnosed with craniofacial cleft syndromes and ORH who were treated at the Craniofacial Centre, Fatima Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Hospital between July 2016 and October 2023.

Purpose: To assess the radiological outcomes and complications focusing on distal junctional failure (DJF) of adult spinal deformity patients who underwent thoracolumbar fixation with the use of offset sublaminar hooks (OSH) distally.
Methods: Retrospective review of a prospective, multicenter adult spinal deformity database (2 sites). Inclusion criteria were age of at least 18 years, presence of a spinal deformity with thoraco-lumbar instrumentation ending distally with OSH (pelvis excluded), with minimum 2 years of follow-up.

Objective: Accidental transection of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) during bilateral sagittal split osteotomies (BSSO) has a reported incidence of up to 7%, determining important sensory disturbances in patients. Proper repair demands the need of microsurgical anastomosis skills.

Background: Planning of surgical procedures in patients suffering from oropharyngeal cancer requires appropriate imaging, particularly in consideration of the spatial relationship to the mandible. Resection of portions of the mandible (box, marginal, or segmental resection) is often necessary, while simultaneously avoiding overtreatment. Typically, a computed tomography (CT) scan is initially performed.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on 32 patients who underwent a peroneus longus to brevis tendon transfer to evaluate its effectiveness in treating severely torn peroneus tendons.
- Results showed significant improvement in patient-reported outcomes, with the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score increasing from a mean of 51.7 to 72.7 after 12 months post-surgery (p < 0.0001).
- The findings suggest that this surgical procedure is beneficial and should be considered for patients with severe damage to the peroneus tendon.
