Noninvasive technique for the localization of radiopaque foreign bodies.

A noninvasive technique has been described, utilizing a sterile grid system for application to the lower extremity. This system is especially desirable because of its ease of employment, flexibility of technique, and nondependency of cumbersome or invasive uses of hypodermic needle landmarks.

The pivotal metatarsal osteotomy: a modification of the metatarsal metaphyseal osteotomy.

The presence of cancellous bone determines the choice of location for osteotomies in the metatarsals. The head and base have good cancellous bone, whereas the shaft has cortical bone and a medullary canal which make it a poor choice of osteotomy site. Many practitioners are now using a transverse metaphyseal osteotomy; however, the authors choose the pivotal metaphyseal osteotomy as the procedure of choice using a 10- or 12-mm Pivotal Osteotomy Blade attached to an oscillating power source.
