Does transosseous capsuloplasty improve the outcomes of Lindgren-Turan distal metatarsal osteotomy in moderate to severe hallux valgus deformity?
Better clinical and radiological outcomes can be achieved in patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus deformity operated by Lindgren-Turan distal metatarsal osteotomy, when it combines with transosseous capsuloplasty.
These experiments show that increasing serum concentrations of a chemokine, MIP-1alpha, exacerbates immune mediated colitis. The effect seems to be due to the ability of MIP-1alpha to boost Th1 responses in the gut wall. Our findings also suggest a potential pathway by which peripheral infections can exacerbate inflammatory bowel disease.
