Recurrence rate and patient-reported outcomes after wedge excision of carpal boss
The treatment of carpal boss is primarily conservative. Surgical treatment by performing a wedge excision of the bony protrusion, is possible. However, a common belief exists that carpal boss should not be operated because of the high recurrence rate. Additionally, little is known about the clinical outcomes of wedge excision and the preferred postoperative treatment. Patients with carpal boss and persisting pain who underwent wedge excision after conservative treatment were included. They received questionnaires before and three months after surgery.

Long-term outcomes and future challenges in face transplantation
Face transplant (FT) has emerged as a groundbreaking option for patients with severe facial deformities resulting from congenital disorders, trauma, or tumor ablation. While reconstructive surgery has made significant strides, the challenges of restoring both form and function remain, particularly in centrally located defects. This review explores the long-term outcomes of FT, addressing its challenges and potential pitfalls. A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted, encompassing articles published in English from November 2005 to January 2023, searched across PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases.
