Annals Editor's pick 📢 Authors Yim and Taylor take us through their adjustment to the standard transposition flap which they suggest eliminates the 'dog ear' effect—a common challenge in reconstructive surgery. By using a curvilinear incision and leaving more skin behind, their approach may reduce discrepancies in flap and wound length while improving the final shape. While 'dog ears' often settle over time, this method could offer a faster path to optimal cosmetic outcomes. Would you try it? Read more: https://ow.ly/mPAo50SSNVY

Editor's Pick 📢 In this #Annals Editor's Pick, Mark Williams, Stephen Blake and Hannah Matthews walk us through their approach to mitigating aerosol exposure from power tools during orthopaedic procedures. They discovered that by modifying a kidney dish to cover the incision site during procedures, like sliding hip screw surgery, they reduced aerosol spread while maintaining surgical efficacy. Do you think this approach is a good example of how we can adapt our techniques to enhance safety without compromising on care or running over budget?
