Hallux Dorsal Curvature of the Distal Phalanx and Its Possible Implications for the Dorsal Osteophyte.

Background and Objective: The dorsal osteophyte on the distal phalanx of the first toe (hallux) is a reactive bony protrusion that may be associated with pathologies such as onychocryptosis or pincer nail. This study aims to describe and analyze the correlation between three novel measurements-dorsal osteophyte height (HDO), distal phalangeal hyperextension (DPHA), and distal phalangeal curvature (DCDP)-and to evaluate the impact of minimally invasive surgery on the dorsal osteophyte using fluoroscopic data. Materials and Methods: A total of 125 fluoroscopic images were analyzed. Baseline measurements for the variables were compared between groups. The key variables included distal phalanx curvature, distal phalanx hyperextension, and dorsal osteophyte height. Results: The analysis revealed statistically significant differences in the main group effect for distal phalanx curvature (F [2, 122] = 7.54, p < 0.001), distal phalanx hyperextension (F [2, 122] = 28.90, p < 0.001), and dorsal osteophyte height (F [2, 122] = 13.64, p < 0.001). Significant correlations were found between distal phalanx curvature and distal phalanx hyperextension, as well as between distal phalanx hyperextension and dorsal osteophyte height. However, no significant correlation was observed between distal phalanx curvature and dorsal osteophyte height. Conclusions: The findings suggest that minimally invasive dorsal osteophyte surgery effectively restores the distal phalanx to normal conditions, as indicated by the variables studied.

First Metatarsal Headphones-Like Lesion: A Case of Unreducible Sesamoid Complex Dislocation.

CASE: A 34-year-old woman sustained a direct trauma to the left hallux during a fall. Radiographs showed a dorsal dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint and a wide separation of sesamoid complex. Closed reduction was tried: postreduction radiographs displayed reduction of first metatarsophalangeal joint and a complete sesamoid complex dislocation. The patient was scheduled for surgery. Through a medial approach, open reduction together with plantar structures release and repair were performed. Functional and radiographic outcomes were satisfactory at the last follow-up. CONCLUSION: In case of a "headphones-like lesion" surgery is required, together with plantar structures repair.

Diagnostic accuracy of clinical, radiological and device-driven tests for the detection of First Ray Instability: A systematic review.

INTRODUCTION: First Ray Instability (FRI) and especially hypermobility leads to the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch's structural framework, which reduces the foot's ability to become a rigid lever for propulsion, resulting in progressive foot deformities. Early detection of FRI with prompt intervention helps prevent degenerative foot deformities. Various manual, device-based and radiographic diagnostic tests for FRI quantification have been described in the literature. We aim to conduct an up-to-date, comprehensive, systematic review of the literature reporting on diagnostic tests to evaluate FRI. METHODOLOGY: Electronic databases (Medline, Embase and PubMed) and bibliography lists were searched until May 2021 for studies evaluating diagnostic tests for FRI. MeSH terms were used to conduct the literature search. The authors screened all produced abstracts. Selected articles were further assessed in full based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The relevant studies were qualitatively assessed and grouped into tables based on tests. RESULTS: 18,176 studies were identified. Thirty-two full-text articles were included for assessment. Ten articles were excluded based on evaluation criteria. 18 studies were included for qualitative assessment: two studies describing manual diagnostic tests, three evaluating device-driven tests, six image-guided studies and seven comparison studies assessing a new test versus an established one. CONCLUSION: Gold standard tests in defining FRI need to be improved. Manual tests exhibit significant subjective variability. Radiographic tests, while accurate, are complex and cumbersome to perform and, therefore, are not widely applied. Dorsal rulers have demonstrated mixed results and shown variability when compared to instruments. The focus has been on assessing FRI in hallux valgus (HV). More studies are needed to investigate FRI in the absence of HV.

Turf Toe Injury: A Pictorial Review and a Didactic Case Report.

Hyperextension of the first metatarsophalangeal joint can lead to a turf toe injury of the plantar plate complex, resulting in significant morbidity for athletes. This article reviews the anatomy, pathophysiology, classification, and imaging findings of turf toe injuries. In turf toe trauma, many different structures can be injured, with the sesamoid-phalangeal ligaments the most common. Diagnosis, classification, and treatment options rely on clinical evaluation and specific magnetic resonance imaging findings. It is vital for radiologists to understand the anatomy, pathophysiology, and imaging findings of turf toe injuries to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.

Paediatric sand toe: radiographic, ultrasound and MRI findings of dorsomedial capsular injury.

Hyperflexion injury to the metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe, referred to as sand toe, can cause significant functional impairment. To our knowledge, there have been no radiological descriptions of this injury in the paediatric age group. Here, we report radiographic, sonographic and MRI findings in a male paediatric patient who sustained a sand toe injury, highlighting structural damage to the dorsomedial capsule and medial sagittal band, and discuss sand toe's favourable prognosis with conservative management.

Relationship between medial partite hallux sesamoid and hallux valgus in the general population.

BACKGROUND: An association between the medial partite hallux sesamoid (MPHS) and hallux valgus (HV) has been suggested; however, a causal relationship has not been confirmed. This study aimed to determine their causal relationship using a cross-sectional radiographic survey of a large-scale population cohort covering a wide age group. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The fifth survey of the Research on Osteoarthritis/Osteoporosis against Disability study involved 1997 participants aged 21-95 years who had undergone anteroposterior radiography of bilateral feet. The presence of MPHS, its morphology, and radiographic parameters related to the HV were assessed using radiographs. Changes in the prevalence of MPHS with age were assessed using trend tests. The relationship between the MPHS and HV was assessed based on sex and age. RESULTS: MPHS was found in 508 out of 3994 feet (12.7 %), with a significant difference in prevalence between men and women (10.0 % vs. 13.7 %, p < 0.001). Trend analysis demonstrated a significant decrease in MPHS occurrence with age in both sexes. HV angle was significantly higher in feet with MPHS than in those without (Men: 17.8 ± 7.0° vs. 14.0 ± 5.9°, p < 0.0001; Women: 19.6 ± 7.7° vs. 17.7 ± 7.9°, p < 0.0001). The prevalence of HV angle ≥ 20° was also significantly higher in feet with MPHS than in those without (Men: 33.3 % vs. 14.6 %, p < 0.0001; Women: 46.5 % vs. 34.6 %, p < 0.0001). This association between MPHS and HV was noticeable in younger adults and became less prominent with age. CONCLUSIONS: MPHS is associated with HV. The weakening of this relationship and the decreased prevalence of MPHS with age suggest that MPHS is not caused by HV, but is one of the causes of HV, especially in younger adults.

Outcomes After Hallux Interphalangeal Joint Arthrodesis.

BACKGROUND: Hallux interphalangeal joint arthrodesis (HIPJA) is indicated for a variety of pathologies. Despite high nonunion rates, techniques remain unchanged. The aim of this study is to examine nonunion and complication rates and describe risk factors for treatment failure. METHODS: A query of an institutional database was performed to identify all patients undergoing HIPJA procedure over a 10-year period. Records were reviewed to the procedure, evaluate patient factors, indications, and radiographic/clinical arthrodesis. Radiographic union was defined as 2 cortical continuations or bridging at the arthrodesis site, absence of hardware failure, and the absence of lytic gapping of the arthrodesis. Clinical fibrous union was defined as radiographic nonunion with painless toe range of motion and physical examination consistent with fusion across the interphalangeal joint. RESULTS: Two hundred twenty-seven primary HIPJA procedures were identified. Our cohort demonstrated a 25.5% nonunion rate (58/227) and 21.1% reoperation rate (48/227). Patients with diabetes were at higher risk for nonunion (P = .014), but no significant differences were identified based on smoking status or diagnosis of inflammatory arthritis. No difference was seen between implant groups: single screw, multiple screws, screw plus other fixation, nonscrew fixation. Patients with prior hallux metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis did not have a significantly higher nonunion rate than patients without prior first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis. Patients diagnosed with radiographic nonunion were at higher risk for reoperation (P < .0001). CONCLUSION: Our cohort represents the largest single-center series of HIPJA procedures published to date. We found relatively high nonunion and reoperation rates with standard current techniques. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective case series.

Osteoid Osteoma of the Proximal Phalanx of the Great Toe in a 13-Year-Old Female Patient.

Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign osteoblastic bone tumor typically involving the diaphysis or metaphysis in long tubular bones. OO in phalanges of the great toe has been rarely reported, and it is often challenging to differentiate with subacute osteomyelitis, bone abscess, or osteoblastoma. This case report describes an uncommon case of a 13-year-old female patient with subperiosteal OO in the proximal phalanx of the great toe. The atypical location of OO should be familiarized to include appropriate differential diagnosis and to ensure accurate diagnosis by radiologic evaluations. Surgical excision remains the benchmark for the treatment of OO with its advantages on direct visualization and histologic confirmation for the diagnosis.

Incidence of Nonunion Following First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis for Hallux Valgus Deformity: A Retrospective Analysis of Four Different Constructs.

Arthrodesis of the great toe joint is a valuable procedure for hallux valgus deformities. The primary aim of this study was to determine nonunion rates of a first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) arthrodesis for bunion deformity. This was a retrospective review of 166 consecutive limbs that underwent a first metatarsal phalangeal joint arthrodesis at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center (WFBMC). Procedures were performed using 4 different constructs for the arthrodesis. Incidence of nonunion, intermetatarsal correction, infection, and recurrence were measured. Overall, 20 patients (12%) experienced nonunion following a first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis. Eighty-seven patients (86%) of plate and screw patients achieved union while 14 (78%) of crossing screw patients achieved union. The minimum time of follow-up was 3 months and the maximum time was 15.4 months. The mean change in intermetatarsal and hallux valgus angle correction was 3.4° and 20.3°, with no statistical difference based on hardware construct or being diabetic. First metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis is a viable option for hallux valgus. However, the results of the present study suggest that there is a lower fusion rate of the first MTPJ using crossing screws for bunion deformities.

Termografía en el efecto vasodilatador de anestésicos locales para el bloqueo troncular del primer dedo / Thermography of the vasodilator effect of local anaesthetics in ingrown toenail surgery

Objetivos: Los anestésicos locales de tipo amida empleados en cirugía podológica, como la lidocaína o mepivacaína, poseen cierto poder vasodilatador. Puesto que en algunas técnicas quirúrgicas puede haber sangrado postquirúrgico abundante, conocer si alguno de los dos anestésicos tiene mayor o menor efecto vasodilatador podría mejorar la respuesta postquirúrgica a estas técnicas. Así pues, el objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la respuesta térmica en el primer dedo tras la aplicación de los dos anestésicos al 2 %. Pacientes y métodos: Veintiséis participantes sanos se ofrecieron voluntarios para participar en este ensayo clínico aleatorizado con doble ciego. Los sujetos fueron divididos en dos grupos: lidocaína 2 % (n = 13) y mepivacaína 2 % (n = 13). Ambos grupos recibieron 1 cc del anestésico indicado. Se realizó una fotografía termográfica previa y tras 10 minutos al bloqueo troncular del hallux para cuantificar el aumento de temperatura. No se registraron complicaciones ni reacciones adversas. Resultados: Los dos grupos eran similares en cuanto a características antropométricas. No se observaron diferencias significativas entre grupos ni en la media de temperatura pre-anestésica (24.38 °C grupo lidocaína, 24.75 °C grupo mepivacaína, p = 0.918), ni en la media de temperatura postanestésica de los sujetos (31.3 °C para ambos grupos, p = 0.959). Los resultados de la diferencia pre-post anestésica fue de 6.91 °C para el grupo lidocaína y de 6.54 °C para el grupo mepivacaína, siendo esta diferencia estadísticamente no significativa (p = 0.7). Sin embargo, todos los sujetos (n = 26) mostraron un aumento de la temperatura tras la anestesia (p < 0.001). Conclusiones: Ambos fármacos mostraron una elevación de la temperatura en los sujetos y, por tanto, su poder vasoactivo. En cambio, no se evidenciaron diferencias significativas entre grupos...(AU)

Objectives: Local anaesthetics such as lidocaine or mepivacaine, commonly used in toenail surgery, have an associated vasodilator effect. Although is thought that lidocaine has a greater vasodilator effect than mepivacaine, there´s not strong in vivo evidence of this. So, the aim of this work was to assess the temperature increase experienced by the toes after be injected of 1 ml 2 % mepivacaine or lidocaine. Patients and methods: 26 participants were randomly divided into two groups and a pre-anæsthetic thermal image (Flir E60bx camera) was taken. Patients in group A (n = 13) received 1 ml of 2 % lidocaine, while those in group B (n = 13) received 1 ml of 2 % mepivacaine at four points of the hallux. After 10 minutes a second thermal image (post-anæsthetic image). Mean temperatures were assessed at the proximal phalanx and the pad of the hallux. Results: After application of the anæsthetic, the mean temperatures were 31.3 ± 3.07 °C at point 1 and 30.8 ± 3.08 °C at point 2 in the lidocaine group, and 31.3 ± 2.74 °C at point 1 and 29.5 ± 2.87 °C at point 2 in the mepivacaine group, with not statistically significant differences between them (p = 0.959 and p = 0.798). All the participants experienced temperature increases of between 5.13 °C and 6.91 °C, but there were no significant differences between groups (p = 0.7 and p = 0.0778). Conclusions: Even though most of the literature suggests that lidocaine has more potent vasodilator effect than mepivacaine, the present results do not reflect any real clinical impact distinguishing one drug from the other in the field block of the big toe, as measured with infrared thermal imaging.(AU)

First metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis outcomes for hallux rigidus versus hallux valgus.

BACKGROUND: This study compared radiographic and functional patient outcomes of 1st MTP arthrodesis between hallux rigidus (HR) and hallux valgus (HV) cohorts. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted at an academic medical center on patients who underwent 1st MTP arthrodesis during 2009-2021. In total, 136 patients (148 feet: HR=57, HV=47, combined=44) met the inclusion criteria of minimum three-month follow-up (mean=1.25 years, range=0.25-6.14 years). Data collection included patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), radiographic markers, and complication and reoperation rates. RESULTS: PROMs improved overall, with HV patients significantly improving the least. The HR group had a significantly smaller improvement in HV angle (HR=-3.6, HV=-17, Combined=-15 p < .001), intermetatarsal angle (H=-0.16, HV=-2.8, Combined=-2.6 p < .001), and 1st-5th metatarsal width (HR=-0.98, HV=-4.6, Combined=-4.6, p < .001). Complication and reoperation rates did not differ by group. CONCLUSION: Outcomes of 1st MTP arthrodesis does not appear to differ between diagnostic indications of hallux rigidus, hallux valgus, or both. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Retrospective cohort study.

Dynamic-passive correction of hallux valgus and associated static foot deformities.

PURPOSE: The aim of this paper was the application of a new dynamic-passive method of treatment in correction of hallux valgus and coexisting static deformities of the foot (transverse-plane and plano-valgus foot). METHODS: The study involved 50 patients; 26 with full big toe correction after the passive correction grip (group I) and 24 with big toe correction requiring additional passive abduction (group II). The patients regularly performed exercises using the designed device according to the planned schedule. The progress of the correction was assessed by a medical examination and additional tests. RESULTS: The cross-sectional area [cm2 ] of the abductor hallucis muscle in three-time points among I and II groups of patients with the hallux valgus was measured based on MRI images. The STIR examination showed, among others, the abductor hallucis muscle edema after exercises with the DPc device were carried out. It evidences that exercises with the new device activate the muscle. Alignment of the big toes of both feet in groups I and II were obtained with a statistically significant result ( p < 0.05). The percentage progression of correction for HV and I/II IM was calculated. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the new correction approach the alignment of the big toe phalanges and the remaining toes was obtained. The passive setup of the tendons with their distal inserts at the level of the big toe phalanges to the correct path of their course with the withdrawal of articular subluxations was obtained. Simultaneously, the big toe's passive correction was dynamically consolidated through a specially selected set of exercises.

Osteotomies of the second phalanx of the great toe: A clinical experience.

BACKGROUND: At the time of the first report on the feasibility of corrective osteotomies of the distal phalanx (DP) of the great toe there were no published studies addressing this type of surgery. Along this line, and throughout our clinical experience, this paper tries to show the clinical benefits of hallux DP osteotomies when correcting interphalangeal valgus deformities (IHV) of the great toe, either with open or percutaneous procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a review of 18 cases in which a DP osteotomy was performed in 2 different institutions, 8 cases were performed using open technique and 10 cases percutaneously. The correction obtained was analyzed by measuring the distal articular set angle (DASA), obliquity angle (AP1), asymmetry angle (AP2), and global distal phalanx deviation (GDPD) angle before and after the surgery on dorso-plantar weight-bearing radiographs in all cases. Clinical results were also recorded. RESULTS: Excellent clinical and radiological results were achieved with both techniques in all patients with no complications. The average DP angular deformity correction in terms of AP1, AP2 and GDPD angles were 4.58º ± 5.55º, 8.95º ± 4.77º and 16.53º ± 7.26 respectively. In 10 cases an Akin osteotomy was associated. CONCLUSION: In cases with valgus deviation in the hallux DP, a corrective osteotomy of the DP alone or associated to osteotomy of the PP should be considered as a useful tool. The technique is feasible and has no technical difficulties for an orthopedic surgeon with experience on feet surgery.

The hallucal interphalangeal ossicle: anatomy and basis for ultrasound-guided surgical shaving.

Painful lesions on the plantar aspect of the first interphalangeal joint (IPJ) of the hallux can be attributed to structures called ossicles, nodules, or sesamoids. The aims of the present study were first to verify that ultrasonography (US) is a high-sensitivity tool for diagnosing an interphalangeal ossicle (IO), and second to prove that US-guided-shaving surgery ("milling") is a safe and feasible technique for remodeling the IO. The study is divided into three parts. In the first part, the prevalence of IOs was estimated in 12 cadaver feet using US, anatomical dissection, and fluoroscopy. In the second, a detailed US and morphological description of the IO was obtained. In the third, six cadaver feet were subjected to surgical milling. IO prevalence was 41.6% in gross anatomy, 41.6% in US examination and just 16.6% in fluoroscopy. The ossicles had a mean length of 4 mm (± 2 mm) and a width of 7 mm (± 2 mm). The ossicles could be completely shaved in all specimens without injuring important anatomical structures. Our results indicate that US is a more precise tool for diagnosing an IO than X-ray. Moreover, our US-guided mini-invasive surgical technique appears feasible and safe.

An Intradermal Spindle Cell Lipoma on the Plantar Hallux in a Patient With Scleroderma and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: A Case Report.

Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a rare variant of lipomas, which predominantly occurs in the regions of shoulder and posterior neck but rarely on the toes. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated increased incidence of cancers in patients with scleroderma. A 28-year-old female with scleroderma and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome developed a painful, skin colored, raised, polypoid lesion on the plantar side of the left hallux for several years. The lesion was surgically excised. Pathological evaluation showed intradermal bland spindle cells associated with delicate ropey/refractile collagen bundles with strong and diffuse cytoplasmic expression of CD34 but negative expression of Rb and S-100, which are consistent with SCL. We report a first case of SCL on the plantar hallux in a young female patient with scleroderma and Ehlers-Danlos disease with clinical presentations, histopathology, and treatment to raise awareness of clinicians to this rare variant of lipomas.

Reliability of the Radiographic Measurement of the Hallux Interphalangeal Angle.

BACKGROUND: The hallux valgus interphalangeus (HVI) deformity has a common association with hallux valgus and hallux rigidus. The HVI is formed by the angle between the long axes of the proximal and distal phalanges. The normal value for this angular deformity in the coronal plane is less than 10°. The aim of this study was to analyze the intra- and inter-observer reliability of measuring the interphalangeal angle by orthopaedic surgeons. This study is the first study to evaluate specifically the reliability and reproducibility of measuring the HVI angle. METHODS: Twenty-one X-ray prints of weightbearing feet constituted a set. Sixteen qualified orthopaedic surgeons were asked to measure the HVI angle of all 21 X-ray images in the set. Three randomized sets were sent to each evaluator at 4-week intervals. After all 3 sets were measured, data were retrieved and statistically analyzed to determine the inter- and intraobserver variability and reliability in the measurement of the HVI angle. Reproducibility of the HVI measurement was assessed using 3 categories, which included the ability to measure the same angle 3 times and achieve: 3° or less, 5° or less, and more than 5° variation. RESULTS: The intraobserver reliability was found to be 5° or less in 85.2% of participants and the interobserver reliability was 81.2%. The researcher did not find significant correlation between the surgeons' level of experience with regard to the reliability of measuring the HVI angle. CONCLUSION: The inter- and intraobserver reliabilities of measuring the HVI angle is 81.2% and 85.2%, respectively. The level of experience of the surgeon does not improve this reliability. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Level II.

Diagnosis, imaging, and potential morbidities of the hallux interphalangeal joint os interphalangeus.

Hallux pain is a common entity with a differential diagnoses including hallux valgus, hallux limitus/rigidus, and gout and specifically at the interphalangeal joint (IPJ), flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tenosynovitis, and joint arthrosis. An under-recognized source of pain is the os interphalangeus, an ossicle typically located at the plantar aspect of the hallucal interphalangeal joint. This ossicle is radiographically visible in its ossified form in 2-13% of individuals, but can also be present as an ossified or non-ossified nodule in patients. The os interphalangeus may be centrally or eccentrically located, and although originally believed to be a sesamoid bone in the FHL tendon, it is an ossicle located in the joint capsule of the IPJ and separated from the tendon by a bursa. When the ossicle is absent, the bursa is also absent and the tendon is attached to the joint capsule. Infrequently, the os may be located eccentrically under the first IPJ and reflect persistence of one of the distal phalanx. Rarely, the os interphalangeus may be dorsal to the IPJ. The os interphalangeus is best evaluated on radiographs, ultrasound, and MRI. Pain is a result of altered mechanics with arthrosis or frictional effects with bursitis, tenosynovitis, or intractable plantar keratosis (IPK). The ossicle may also displace into a dislocated IPJ, preventing reduction. The os interphalangeus may be centrally or eccentrically located, and although originally believed to be a sesamoid bone. This has been found within the plantar joint capsule of the distal hallucal interphalangeal joint and separated from the tendon by a bursa. Uncommonly, the location may be plantar eccentric and reflect persistence of one of the ossification centers of the distal phalanx. Although the ossicle can be imaged with standard AP and lateral radiographs in many cases, in those cases of unexplained pain with no radiographically visible ossicle, and the presence of friction blisters, intractable plantar keratosis (IPK), hyper-extension of the IPJ, hallux limitus/rigidus, or metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) arthrodesis, an MRI or CT should be considered to identify a non-ossified fibrocartilaginous node. This is of particular concern in a patient with a history of underling diabetes mellitus or other metabolic disorders associated with diminished pedal sensation where neurotrophic changes place them most at risk for complications associated with excessive plantar pressure. Pain is a result of altered biomechanics with arthrosis, or frictional effects causing bursitis, tenosynovitis, or IPK. The ossicle may also displace into a dislocated IPJ, preventing reduction. In this article, we will describe the anatomy and imaging appearance of the common os interphalangeus variants and associated complications including frictional effects, arthrosis, and IPK and discuss conservative and surgical management of a symptomatic ossicle.

Open Reduction and Screw Fixation of a Diastatic Bipartite Hallux Sesamoid in Turf Toe Injury: A Case Report.

We present a case of a 25-year-old male professional soccer player who complained of severe pain over the first metatarsal head after opponent contact during a soccer game. Clinical findings showed swelling and tenderness. Initial radiographs showed a diastasis of a bipartite medial sesamoid between the fragments as compared to radiographs taken 4 years earlier of the same foot. A computed tomography scan was performed objectifying the widened interval and also showing an angulation of the proximal fragment. Open reduction and screw fixation were performed, leading to adequate positioning of the 2 bipartite fragments. The patient showed good clinical recovery and returned to the same performance level. Turf toe injury with diastasis of a medial bipartite sesamoid can be treated successfully with this operative technique.Levels of Evidence: Level V: Case report.
