Flexor tendon lacerations require precise surgical repair, often using Mitek suture anchors. This report describes a recurrent infection 10 years post-FDP repair, caused by anchor migration and inflammation. Anchor removal was necessary to prevent further complications, highlighting potential long-term risks.

We describe, with the aid of pictures and diagrams, a multimodal reconstruction of a large defect involving the lateral canthal angle, one-third of the upper eyelid and half of the lower eyelid with loss of lateral orbital periosteum. The eyelids were anchored with the novel use of a Prolene suture tethered to a titanium screw at the lateral orbital rim, providing structural stability.

Acute, traumatic distal biceps tendon ruptures are a common injury in the middle-aged athletic male population, with direct anatomic surgical repair being the most effective technique to restore maximal strength. Multiple techniques for distal biceps tendon repair have been described, including single- or dual-incision approaches and tendon fixation with cortical buttons, interference screws, suture anchors, and transosseous sutures. In this Technical Note, we demonstrate an anatomic distal biceps tendon repair technique with a single-incision approach using 2 all-suture cortical buttons.

Background: The Latarjet and other bony augmentation procedures are commonly used to treat anterior shoulder instability in the setting of significant glenoid bone loss. Although several fixation strategies have been reported, the biomechanical strength of these techniques remains poorly understood.
Purpose: To perform a systematic review of the biomechanical strength of glenoid bony augmentation procedures for anterior shoulder instability.

Background: Over the past decade, facial aesthetics has gained popularity, with a notable increase in upper-face lift procedures. Despite the popularity of brows and forehead lifts, the optimal fixation technique remains controversial. Common methods involve suturing of the temporal fascia or using monocortical miniscrews anchored to the frontal bone.
