Abstract
BACKGROUND The debridement and Achilles tendon reinsertion (DATR) have been the most common surgical approach for the treatment of Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy (IAT), while dorsal closing wedge calcaneal osteotomy (DCWCO) has recently gained popularity as an alternative surgical option. This study aimed to systematically review the published literature on both surgical techniques and compare their clinical outcomes and complication rates. METHODS A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines using Medline, Embase, and Scopus databases. The inclusion criteria encompassed clinical studies reporting functional outcomes and complications, with a minimum of 10 patients and at least 12 months of follow-up. RESULTS Seven studies (n = 169) were included for the analysis of DATR, and eight studies (n = 227) were included for the analysis of open DCWCO. Both groups showed a similar improvement in AOFAS score. The overall complication rates were 16.6% in the DATR group and 9.2% in the DCWCO group, but the difference was not statistically significant. However, there was a significantly higher incidence of wound complications in the DATR group (10.1%, 95% C.I.: 4.7-15.6) compared to the DCWCO group (2.5%, 95% C.I.: 0.6-4.4) as the confidence intervals did not overlap. CONCLUSIONS Clinical outcomes and overall complication rates of both techniques were comparable, although DCWCO had a lower incidence of wound complications. Further research should be focused on prospective studies comparing the two techniques to corroborate the current findings. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV; meta-analysis.

Abstract
Avulsion injuries of the tendon-bone junction of the adductor longus are rare. Avulsions of the iliopsoas tendon insertion on the lesser trochanter are even rarer. Avulsion injuries of the adductor insertion occur predominantly in active athletes. Iliopsoas tendon avulsions are described mainly in nonathletes, in old age and frequently with no triggering event. In these cases possible underlying pathologies (e.g. tumor or metastases in the lesser trochanter) must be ruled out. In the literature no generally accepted recommendations for treatment of these injuries can be found because only a few retrospective anecdotal case reports and case studies have been published. For this reason, it is mostly unclear if and when a conservative or operative approach is indicated.A PubMed/Medline literature search resulted in 86 articles for iliopsoas avulsions and 155 hits for adductor tendon avulsions. Accordingly, both injuries can basically be treated conservatively. A surgical treatment is recommended only occasionally when conservative treatment fails and when the adductor insertion or the apophysis of the lesser trochanter is dislocated more than 2 cm after avulsion. Reinsertion for adductor longus tendon avulsion injuries is usually performed by open repair using various anchor systems, while extensive avulsion injuries or non-unions of the apophysis of the lesser trochanter are treated by refixation by cannulated screw systems or resection and anchor refixation of the tendon. The postoperative outcome in most cases is described as good or very good (excellent). No major complications were reported in both groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the primary stability of miniscrews after repeated cycles of insertion through insertion torque (IT) measurements and resonance frequency analysis (RFA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty titanium miniscrews were divided into two groups according to the insertion protocol: one with predrilled sites and the other self-drilled into porcine iliac crest bone specimens. Each group had three cycles of reinsertion. After each insertion, the IT and RFA were measured. The IT was measured by using a torque meter, and the RFA was measured using the Osstell ISQ device. A total of five miniscrews of each group were selected for sequential assessment of the morphology of their tip and threads using scanning electron microscopy after each insertion cycle. RESULTS No statistically significant differences were found in the IT values of miniscrews reinserted up to three times in the group with predrilled surgical sites. The IT value increased significantly with the number of reinsertions in the self-drilled group. The RFA value decreased as the number of insertions increased in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Under the conditions of this in vitro study, reinserting miniscrews deteriorates the integrity of their tip and thread. Reinsertion should be discouraged particularly when insertion sites are not predrilled.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Breast animation deformity (BAD) is a known complication of sub-pectoral implant placement that is usually corrected by simply repositioning the implant to a pre-pectoral position. However, when this complication occurs in the case of a sub-pectorally placed free-flap, the solution becomes a lot less straightforward: repositioning of the flap carries the risk of possible damage to the pedicle. In order to avoid having to re-do the anastomoses we opted for a rerouting of the pectoralis major muscle around the vascular anastomoses. PRESENTATION OF CASE We present a 26-year old patient with unsatisfactory aesthetic outcomes of her bilateral deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction. The flaps were placed sub-pectorally, in the already existing pocket that was created during her first breast reconstruction with silicone implants, resulting in severe BAD. Repositioning the free flap from the sub-pectoral to the pre-pectoral plane allowed for reinsertion of the pectoralis major muscle to its anatomical position without jeopardizing the vascular anastomoses. The patient was satisfied with the increased projection of the breasts. DISCUSSION Changing the plane from sub-pectoral to pre-pectoral remains the best treatment option for patients experiencing BAD. In combination with an acellular dermal matrix, this would have been a good option for our patient. However, when choosing to perform autologous breast reconstruction instead, our recommendation would be to always place the flap in the pre-pectoral plane to avoid BAD. CONCLUSION The report shows that the plane of a flap can be successfully changed without jeopardizing the pedicle of the flap.

Abstract
Anatomical reinsertion is the optimal treatment for meniscal root injuries. However, in chronic settings, tissue fraying of the meniscal root may impede it. This study describes a salvage technical procedure performed in 3 cases of chronic anterior root avulsion of the lateral meniscus with profuse tissue degeneration in which remnant debridement resulted in amputation of the root. Reinsertion of the meniscus at the remaining healthy tissue was performed using an all-inside anchoring technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical reinsertion of the distal biceps tendon for acute and chronic tears is a widely accepted procedure, but little is known about surgical treatment of distal biceps tendinopathy. METHODS Twenty patients underwent a surgical procedure for distal biceps tendinopathy after failure of conservative treatment. The surgery was performed through a single incision. The biceps tendon was detached, debrided and reinserted using a ToggleLoc (Zimmer Biomet) device. Clinical and radiologic evaluation was performed after a minimum follow-up of 1 year. Quick-Dash score, Liverpool Elbow Score, Mayo Elbow Performance Index, Broberg and Morrey Score and Short HSS Scoring System were used, and isokinetic testing was performed. RESULTS The outcome of these five clinical elbow scores showed no clinically relevant differences between the affected and non-affected side. Isokinetic testing of peak torque in flexion and supination showed equal strength between both sides. These results indicate good functional outcome and recovery of flexion and supination, compared to the non-operated side and the normal population. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that distal biceps tendon debridement and reinsertion is a safe and valid option for patients with distal biceps tendinopathy after failure of conservative treatment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3 retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze morphological variations of retrieved orthodontic miniscrews and to evaluate the mechanical properties that may adversely affect relocation of miniscrews. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrieved miniscrews were classified with scanning electron microscopy according to the degree of morphological deformation of the tip. To evaluate the differences in mechanical characteristics during reinsertion, changes in insertion torque, insertion time and differences in successful insertion load were compared between unused controls and retrieved miniscrews. In addition, surface composition analysis of retrieved miniscrews was performed using energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. RESULTS Significant tip deformation was evident in the majority (>84.5%) of retrieved miniscrews. Initial conditions such as insertion site or duration of insertion were not associated with the presence of tip deformation. Insertion load for successful bone penetration increased in proportion to the degree of tip deformation; however, serial changes in insertion torque were similar to those of the controls. Deposited debris such as carbon, calcium, and phosphorus was noted on the retrieved miniscrews. CONCLUSION Miniscrews retrieved after primary insertion exhibited decreased cutting ability due to deformation of the tip structure, as well as surface contamination.

Abstract
We compared the results of two methods for reinsertion of flexor digitorum profundus tendons retrospectively. In 35 fingers of 29 patients pull-out suture and in 13 fingers of 11 patients transverse intraosseous loop technique was performed with a mean follow-up of 8 and 6 months, respectively. Eleven and nine fingers achieved "excellent" or "good" function according to Strickland and Glogovac at 8 weeks; 20 and ten at the last control in the pull-out and transverse intraosseous loop groups, respectively. The difference at 8 weeks was statistically significant in favour of the transverse intraosseous loop group. Ten patients underwent 12 complications in the pull-out group (four superficial infections; one rerupture, one PIP and one DIP joint contracture, one adhesion, two granulomas, one nail deformity and one carpal tunnel syndrome) and four of them were reoperated (one carpal tunnel release, one teno-arthrolysis and two resections of granuloma). There was no complication and no reoperation in the transverse intraosseous loop group, the difference being statistically significant for the former. In our study the transverse intraosseous loop technique seemed to be a safe alternative with possibly better functional results compared to the pull-out suture.
