A systematic review of 76 studies has revealed that complication rates range from 4.8% to 18.6%. Of particular concern is the occurrence of unplanned implant removal, which was reported in 7.1% to 19.3% of cases. [15] Various complications can arise with different types of devices used in subtalar arthroereisis.
This type of suture being adsorbable is not to be used where prolonged approximation of tissues under stress is required and/ or in conjunction with prosthetic devices Precautions: Special precautions should be taken in patients with cancer, anemia and malnutrition conditions. They tend to absorb the sutures at a higher rate.
Surgical staples are specialized staples used in surgery in place of sutures to close skin wounds or to resect and/or connect parts of an organ (e.g. bowels, stomach or lungs). The use of staples over sutures reduces the local inflammatory response, width of the wound, and time it takes to close a defect. [1]
The collection device is typically a bulb with a drainage port which can be opened to remove fluid or air. After compressing the bulb to remove fluid or air, negative pressure is created as the bulb returns to its normal shape. Blake drain - a round silicone tube with channels that carry fluid to a negative pressure collection device.
Cauterization (or cauterisation, or cautery) is a medical practice or technique of burning a part of a body to remove or close off a part of it. It destroys some tissue in an attempt to mitigate bleeding and damage, remove an undesired growth, or minimize other potential medical harm, such as infections when antibiotics are unavailable.
The vertical mattress stitch is most commonly used in anatomic locations which tend to invert, such as the posterior aspect of the neck, and sites of greater skin laxity such as the closure of lax skin after removing a dermoid cyst or reduced subcutaneous tissue (e.g., the shin) that do not provide adequate subcutaneous tissue for dermal closure.

The articular capsule of the knee joint is the wide and lax joint capsule of the knee. It is thin in front and at the side, and contains the patella, ligaments, menisci, and bursae of the knee. [1] The capsule consists of an inner synovial membrane, and an outer fibrous membrane separated by fatty deposits anteriorly and posteriorly. [2]
