Surgical options for relapsed clubfoot include repeat heel cord lengthening or posterior release for recurrent equinus, and anterior tibialis tendon transfer (ATT) for residual dynamic supination deformity. Some studies have suggested that these procedures be performed in isolation to allow for early range of motion after intra-articular surgery. This study was performed to examine clinical and radiographic outcomes comparing two surgical methods, simultaneous ATT with posterior release (ATT/PR) vs ATT performed in isolation (ATT(i)), for the management of recurrent clubfoot deformity.

Background: The diagnostic criteria for cM0 (i+) stage proposed by American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) still remains unclear. The present study aimed to establish and validate the criteria of cM0 (i+) stage based on postoperative circulating tumor cells (CTCs) monitoring in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma (LRCC).
Materials And Methods: This study enrolled 204 patients with LRCC who received partial or radical nephrectomy from January 2015 to November 2021.
Background: Occult inguinal hernia is a unique clinical challenge characterized by asymptomatic presentation and the absence of detectable signs on physical examination, leading to frequent misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis. The advancement of laparoscopic hernia surgery has facilitated the identification of occult hernias, yet effective diagnostic and predictive methods remain lacking.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the incidence and clinical characteristics of occult inguinal hernias detected during laparoscopic unilateral inguinal hernia repair and to provide evidence-based recommendations for their management.

Background And Objectives: Simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (SBTKA) can improve post-surgical outcomes and reduce complications and cost of care. This study aimed to compare: (a) pain intensity levels in patients undergoing SBTKA between and before discharge, and 6 weeks after surgery, and (b) activities of daily living (ADL) and quality of life between the pre-operative period and 6 weeks after surgery.
Material And Methods: Forty patients who were scheduled for SBTKA at inpatient units in a university-affiliated hospital in Bangkok, Thailand were recruited on the first day of admission using the face-to-face method.
Coup de Sabre is a subset of localized linear scleroderma disease influenced by autoimmune, vascular, and genetic factors. The disease often follows an active, relapsing, and remitting course causing the development of permanent sequelae, such as tissue atrophy, pigment alterations, and bony deformities. Treatment strategies have ranged from surgical to injectable and medical management approaches with varying success.
