The operative time and intraoperative blood loss in the combined group were significantly greater than those in the FNS group [142 (112, 152) min vs. 81 (76, 92) min; 86 (77, 92) mL vs. 56 (51, 66) mL], with statistical significance (P < 0.05). The degree of femoral neck shortening in the combined group was significantly lower than that in the FNS group at 3 months (1.58 ± 0.32 mm vs. 3.04 ± 0.68 mm), 9 months (2.65 ± 0.52 mm vs. 3.98 ± 0.30 mm), and 15 months (2.88 ± 0.79 mm vs. 4.62 ± 1.09 mm) postoperatively, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in reduction quality, postoperative hospital stay, hip Harris score, or complication rates (P > 0.05).ConclusionAlthough FNS combined with CCS can reduce the degree of femoral neck shortening in patients with femoral neck fractures, it requires higher surgical expertise, longer operative time, and greater intraoperative blood loss. Surgeons should select the appropriate surgical approach based on the patient's specific circumstances.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1867369 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1867369 2026-05-07T00:00:00Z Retraction https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1798468 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1798468 2026-05-07T00:00:00Z Original Research Junhong ChenXiaojun YuXulin ZhangQingshan LiZhiqiang Wang https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1752070 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1752070 2026-04-30T00:00:00Z Original Research Weihao XiaoXingchen MingYuxi HuangJiaxuan LiQiqi JiaoJian YangLinyang ZhengYunfu ZengRong WangShaowen ChengYangyang BianJiangling Yao 0.05), while prealbumin levels rose significantly (P < 0.001). Pain scores assessed by the Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R, P < 0.001) and the Changhai Pain Scale (P < 0.001) also demonstrated marked postoperative declines.DiscussionSurgical management of gouty tophi wounds is associated with favorable wound healing, significant systemic anti-inflammatory and metabolic benefits, and effective pain relief. The low infection rate in ulcerated tophi supports the bacteriostatic role of MSU crystals. Based on these findings, surgical indications include functional impairment, chronic non-healing wounds, refractory pain, and large tophi (>1.5 cm) impeding daily activities. Surgery should be avoided during acute gout flares and in high-risk patients with uncontrolled comorbidities.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1771682 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1771682 2026-04-30T00:00:00Z Case Report Jinxian ZhaoWeichun LiangMingshuang WangHaiwen PanJianfeng ChenQingbin LiJianhui LinGuokai FengZongquan MoYongqiang Lao https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1812315 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1812315 2026-04-30T00:00:00Z Case Report Xin HuGang ZhengWei ZhaoHao DongJinhao LiZhe HuHaoming LuDewei ShenNan Wang https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1816291 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1816291 2026-04-29T00:00:00Z Original Research Duan WenboFang GuofangWu JiachangSang HongxunCao Lei https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1750755 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1750755 2026-04-29T00:00:00Z Original Research Zhi-da ChenYuan-jie JiangBin LinXiao-yang HuYu-zhe ZengHui LiuTao-yi Cai https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1800944 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1800944 2026-04-29T00:00:00Z Original Research Gaole HeHaopeng LiLiang YanZhongkai LiuTeng Lu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1738809 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1738809 2026-04-24T00:00:00Z Case Report M.

Subgroup analyses confirmed consistent treatment benefits across age, BMI, and sex (P > 0.05).ConclusionThe visualized reamer technique significantly enhances perioperative efficiency and early pain control in TELD, with comparable mid-term efficacy to the TESSYS technique. Its benefits are consistent across diverse patient populations, supporting its broad applicability.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1790170 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1790170 2026-04-22T00:00:00Z Original Research Lu YongjiangLi ChunboWang Jianyuan  0.05). The PTED group demonstrated significantly shorter operative time (62.4 ± 8.7 vs. 105.3 ± 14.1 min, P < 0.001), smaller incision length (7.8 ± 0.9 vs. 24.6 ± 4.2 mm, P < 0.001), less intraoperative blood loss (18.5 ± 4.3 vs. 68.2 ± 10.5 mL, P < 0.001), and shorter hospital stay (4.8 ± 1.1 vs. 5.9 ± 1.7 days, P = 0.002). Both groups showed significant and sustained improvement in VAS and ODI scores postoperatively (P < 0.05). At 1 month, PTED was associated with lower back pain VAS but slightly higher leg pain VAS and ODI compared to UBE (P < 0.05). From 3 months onward, no significant inter-group differences were observed in any clinical scores (P > 0.05). Repeated-measures ANOVA indicated a different improvement trajectory for back pain between the groups (interaction P = 0.024).ConclusionBoth PTED and UBE are effective minimally invasive techniques for FLLDH, offering comparable and excellent mid-term clinical outcomes. PTED offers advantages in reduced surgical trauma and faster early recovery, whereas UBE provides superior endoscopic visualization. The choice of technique can be individualized based on patient characteristics and surgical expertise.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1787824 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1787824 2026-04-20T00:00:00Z Original Research Ji-hui ZhangLiang YuJing-fei XuJin-ming HanXu-yu LiaoBo ChaiLiu-jun Zhao https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1807236 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1807236 2026-04-20T00:00:00Z Case Report Zhijun ChenWenrong YangJincai LiuZhigang ZhaoNan ZhouGuangmin PuEn Song https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1805531 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1805531 2026-04-20T00:00:00Z Systematic Review Jie SongJun LiXiu-Lei XuQuan Sun https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1833919 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1833919 2026-04-20T00:00:00Z Case Report Aouinti Mohamed NizarSahar Ben AmmarWalid SaiedHajer Ben MansourAhmed HamdiHenda RaisSami BouchouchaRim Boussetta https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1786576 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1786576 2026-04-20T00:00:00Z Case Report Baoliang LiZhigang ShiJianxin ZhangNianhu LiChangjiao Ji https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1761489 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1761489 2026-04-20T00:00:00Z Original Research Johannes GrohSimon SchrammLilli HolzmannSimon WagnerMario PerlJohannes Krause
