Outcome study of hallux valgus surgery--an AOFAS multi-center study.

abstract：BACKGROUND::Operative management of chronic Achilles tendon ruptures is challenging, and numerous techniques have been described. Risk of infection and wound breakdown have been described after open techniques, and minimally invasive methods have been proposed to avoid them. The aim of this study was to describe the cl...
