Tibialis anterior tendon ruptures are a rare condition with an often-delayed diagnosis due to transient pain and compensation of remaining anterior compartment tendons. Previous systematic reviews have limited their recommendations to surgical treatment over nonoperative cares given the relatively small sample size in the literature. This current systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to compare the outcomes amongst the various surgical techniques and define factors that may affect long term patients results...

Distal rupture of the calcaneus-fibular ligament (CFL) was unique and important, because it is crucial to diagnose this type of injury before surgical intervention. In the present study, we collected several imaging characteristics based on MRI and tried to determine whether those clues can be used to diagnose distal rupture of CFL specifically and sensitively. Several imaging characteristics based on MRI were collected and used to diagnose and determine the location of CFL injury. All these clues on preoperative MRI were verified by operative findings and postoperative roentgenography...

Angioleiomyoma is a benign tumor, which arises from the smooth muscle. It comprises approximately 4.4% of all benign soft tissues' neoplasms and they are commonly located at the lower extremities. They are most frequently found in middle-aged women. Angioleiomyoma is usually presented as a painful solitary lesion in the subcutaneous tissue. Due to the lack of evidence in the literature, the aim of this current concepts review was to provide foot and ankle surgeons the most updated and useful information for diagnosis and management of foot or ankle's angioleiomyoma...

There is no gold standard in the treatment of hallux valgus deformity. The purpose of our study was to compare various aspects of radiographic assessment following scarf and chevron osteotomies and try to determine which technique helps achieve a more pronounced intermetatarsal angle (IMA) and hallux valgus angle (HVA) correction and produces lower rates of complications, including adjacent-joint arthritis. This study included patients who underwent hallux valgus correction with the scarf (n = 32) or chevron (n = 181) method with a follow-up period of over 3 years...

Hindfoot osteoarthritis (OA) or deformity involving the ankle and subtalar joint is a disabling condition. Tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) fusion is an effective salvage option in pathologies where total ankle replacement is contraindicated. The purpose of this study is to compare the union rate of the ankle joint in proximal static versus dynamically locked retrograde intramedullary nail fixation for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. An institutional review board-approved comprehensive chart and radiographic review was performed...

The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is the first to be damaged during a lateral ankle sprain. Dynamic and static structures have been investigated to better understand ATFL rupture, but the predisposing factors have not been fully elucidated. This study aims to define the fibular notch version that can evaluate the position of the fibular notch relative to the tibia and investigate the relationship between the fibular notch version (FNV) and ATFL rupture. This study included 71 patients with isolated ATFL rupture diagnosed clinically and radiologically and 71 control patients without any foot or ankle pathologies...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Kushkaran Kaur, Andrew J Meyr
The finding of "hypermobility" has conventionally been considered as a dichotomous categorical variable in both clinical practice and in the literature. In other words, it is defined as being either "present" or "absent" in patients with hallux valgus. Yet it might be far more likely that this represents a continuous variable described by a bell-shaped distribution. Therefore the objective of this investigation was to consider hypermobility as a continuous variable, and to compare the sagittal plane first ray motion to radiographic parameters commonly used in the evaluation of the hallux valgus deformity by means of correlation analyses...

Understanding the anatomy of the calcaneocuboid (CCJ) remains essential when selecting staple fixation to optimize osseous purchase during rearfoot procedures. This anatomic study quantitatively describes the CCJ in relation to staple fixation sites. The calcaneus and cuboid from 10 cadavers were dissected. Widths at 5 mm and 10 mm increments away from the joint were measured in dorsal, midline, and plantar thirds of each bone. The widths between each position's 5 mm and 10 mm increments were compared using the Student's t test...

The opioid epidemic has forced practitioners to look to other means for pain control. This has made non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) much more prevalent. Advantageous as it might seem, a closer look at the pharmacodynamics shows that by inhibiting COX enzymes, NSAIDs are inhibiting prostaglandin which could inhibit bone healing. Our objective is to determine if NSAID use during foot and ankle arthrodesis inhibits bone healing. We reviewed the electronic database of patients who underwent foot and/or ankle arthrodesis with the inclusion criteria of fusion CPT codes...

The relationship between pain/disability and angular deviation of the hallux valgus (HV), and the impact of orthotic use, laterality, and pain variability on treatment outcomes remain unclear. This was explored in post hoc analyses of a placebo-controlled trial of abobotulinumtoxinA (aboBoNT-A; Dysport®) for HV-associated pain (NCT03569098). The primary endpoint was not met in this study (change from baseline Numeric Pain Rating Scale [NPRS] score vs placebo at week 8); however, there was a greater reduction from baseline in mean NPRS score at week 12 with aboBoNT-A 500U versus placebo (p = ...

Surgical repair of insertional Achilles tendinosis is indicated in the face of failed conservative measures. Several methods for this repair have been described, and the optimal method is not universally agreed upon. In addition, the cost of medical care is important, and should be considered when determining the surgical repair for each patient. The purpose of this study is to compare implant costs between a single anchor or 4 anchor, double row repair, and evaluate associated outcomes. A retrospective comparative trial was performed for this purpose...
