You will want to minimize postoperative scars for your and your patient's satisfaction. There are operative procedures and suturing techniques that will help you but, ultimately, a fine result can be most often obtained by meticulous attention to each detail, from the prep through the planning, the execution of the procedure, and the postoperative care.

First and second metatarsophalangeal joint dislocation. A case report.

A case of dislocated first and second metatarsophalangeal joints was reported along with the mechanics and mechanism of injury. The practitioner must be familiar with the mechanism of injury and radiographic classification to determine the proper indications for closed versus open reduction. The authors' review of the literature did not reveal a similar case involving a dislocation of the first and second metatarsophalangeal joints.

[The importance of thoracostomy in treating pleural empyema with bronchial fistulae in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].

In contrast to the nonspecific pleural empyemas, which are managed effectively by closed methods of débridement, management of patients with tuberculous pleural empyema and bronchial fistulas requires early application of thoracostoma, which allows cavity débridement, long-term antituberculous chemotherapy and preparation to radical surgery. This was confirmed by the comparative analysis of the results of radical operations after closed and open methods of management of empyema cavity in 139 patients. The site of thoracostoma application is determined by the location and size of an abscess and the forthcoming radical operation. Long-action bandages with chlorhexidine bigluconate and ultraviolet radiation are prescribed for the débridement of open pleural empyemas.
