Article Abstract
We have used a dorsal V-flap, or chevron flap, to expose the proximal interphalangeal joint. A retrospective clinical study of its use in 16 patients over 5 years is presented, including indications, functional return of movement, and complications. Long-term follow-up showed an average range of active movement of 70 degrees (range, 13-84 degrees). Surgical exposure of the joint was better than other dorsal approaches and overall recovery of movement was not significantly compromised. Alternative surgical techniques such as the dorsal longitudinal split, dorsolateral split and palmar approach are compared in a group of 36 cases.

Suture Anchor-Enhanced Medial Capsulorrhaphy of the Great Toe.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech

Unlabelled: The suture anchor-enhanced medial capsulorrhaphy of the great toe is utilized as an adjuvant procedure to proximal and distal osteotomies for the treatment of hallux valgus. In traditional open techniques, hallux valgus repair requires both osseous correction along with shortening of the capsule on the medial side of the metatarsophalangeal joint. Osseous correction typically corrects the intermetatarsal angle, whereas capsular correction maintains the hallux valgus angle.

The far lateral approach is used for accessing pathology at the craniovertebral junction but can be complicated by postoperative suboccipital muscle atrophy. In addition to significant cosmetic deformity, this atrophy can lead to head and neck pain and potentially could contribute to cranio-cervical instability. To address this issue, the senior author began using a single myocutaneous flap without a muscle cuff and securing it directly to the bone using predrilled holes in the bone that resemble a chevron.

Background: Digital adherence technologies have been widely promoted as a means to improve tuberculosis medication adherence. However, uptake of these technologies has been suboptimal by both patients and health workers. Not surprisingly, studies have not demonstrated significant improvement in treatment outcomes.

Purpose: Distal chevron osteotomy (DCO) is used more frequently than other methods for the correction of mild-to-moderate hallux valgus deformity because it is markedly more stable. Here, we evaluated the use of a capsuloperiosteal flap to stabilize DCO and presented our last longer follow-up.
Methods: This study included a total of 57 patients (86 feet) made up of 50 women (79 feet) and 7 men (7 feet) with a mean age of 37.
Triple-stapled quadrilateral anastomosis: a new technique for creation of an esophagogastric anastomosis.

Background: Esophagogastric anastomosis performed after esophagectomy is technically complex and often the source of postoperative complications. The best technique for this anastomosis remains a matter of debate. We describe a new all-stapled side-to-side anastomosis, which we refer to as triple-stapled quadrilateral anastomosis (TRIQ), that can be performed after minimally invasive surgery, and we report results of a retrospective evaluation of postoperative outcomes among the 60 patients in whom this anastomosis has been performed thus far.
