    Can a cotton osteotomy be fixed?
    The Cotton osteotomy is rarely fixated because of the intrinsic stability of the dorsal and plantar ligaments, and the broad insertion of the tibialis anterior. If required, either a Kirschner wire or a small fixation plate can be used to stabilize the osteotomy and bone graft.

    Does salmon suit patients with ostomy?

    Michael Colangelo

    Master of Science (M.S.) in Nutrition · 15 years of exp

    Those who have had an ostomy surgery should consult with a dietician or specialist for nutrition education and a healthy eating plan. After surgery, individuals' diets will consist of mostly liquids with a slow transition to solid foods. Spicy, high-fiber, and high-fat foods are generally avoided because they may cause diarrhea, indigestion, and acid reflux. When bowels return to normal, it is possible to return to a regular diet that includes fish like salmon. Salmon is a fish that contains high quality fatty acids, but it may irritate the digestive tract. Introducing salmon slowly and in small amounts may be recommended. Follow your dietician's recommendations.
