BACKGROUND: Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is the current treatment of choice for symptomatic advanced hallux rigidus and moderate-to-severe hallux valgus. There are different methods to perform arthrodesis, yet no consensus on the best approach. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effects of preoperative and postoperative hallux valgus angle (HVA), joint preparation and fixation technique, and postoperative immobilization on the incidence of nonunion. METHODS: A retrospective multicenter cohort study was performed that included 794 patients...

BACKGROUND: There has been an established relationship between increased loading on the Achilles tendon and tension on the plantar fascia. This supports the idea that either tight gastrocnemius and soleus muscles or contractures of the Achilles tendon are risk factors for plantar fasciitis. Gastrocnemius recession has gained popularity as a viable surgical intervention for cases of chronic plantar fasciitis due to isolated gastrocnemius contracture. To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information Systems (PROMIS) scores in patients with plantar fasciitis before and after gastrocnemius recession...

BACKGROUND: Assessing patient's risk of infection is fundamental for prevention of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). The Mayo Prosthetic Joint Infection Risk Score (Mayo Score) is based on data from total hip and knee arthroplasty and has not been validated for application for TAA. METHODS: A total of 405 consecutive TAA cases were followed for 6 months for PJI. Individual patients' Mayo Scores were calculated and analyzed with logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) for predictability for PJI...

BACKGROUND: The posterolateral approach to the ankle allows for reduction and fixation of the posterior and lateral malleoli through the same surgical incision. This can be accomplished via 1 or 2 surgical "windows." The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes including wound complications following direct fixation of unstable rotational ankle fracture through the posterolateral approach using either 1 or 2 surgical windows. METHODS: One hundred sixty-four patients with bi- or trimalleolar ankle fractures treated using the single-window posterolateral approach (between the peroneal tendons and the flexor hallucis longus [FHL]) or the 2-window technique (between the peroneal tendons and the FHL for posterior malleolus fixation; lateral to the peroneal tendons for fibula fixation) were reviewed for demographics, radiographic details, and clinical outcomes...

BACKGROUND: The treatment of posterior malleolar fractures (PMFs) is debated, including the need for surgery and method of fixation. Recent literature has suggested that fracture pattern, rather than fragment size, may be an important predictor for ankle biomechanics and functional outcome. Biomechanical studies have been conducted to provide evidence-based treatment on the effects of fracture and fixation on contact pressure and stability. The objective of this scoping review is to summarize the methodologies used in biomechanical studies on PMFs and assess whether they are sufficient to test the need for surgery and method of fixation...

BACKGROUND: Spring ligament reconstruction (SLR) has been suggested as an adjunct to other reconstructive procedures to potentially avoid talonavicular joint fusion in progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) with severe abduction deformity. Most clinical reports present short-term follow-up data and a small number of patients. The purpose of this study was to examine the medium- to long-term outcomes of an SLR using allograft tendon augmentation as part of PCFD surgical reconstruction...

BACKGROUND: Infection is one of the challenging complications after open reduction and internal fixation for ankle fractures. Previously published case series conclude that Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequent causative microorganism. An unexpected increase in Enterobacter cloacae infections after this surgery was observed in a preliminary analysis of data at the promoting center of the study. In traumatology, its incidence has been reported in chronic osteomyelitis, prosthetic infections, septic osteoarthritis, open fractures in children and adults, and fractures other than the ankle...

BACKGROUND: The etiology of symptomatic pediatric pes planus (PP) deformity is unclear. Reduced os calcis subtalar joint (OCST) anterior facet morphology has been suggested to result in less support to the talar head and a higher propensity to develop PP deformity. Weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT) and distance mapping (DM) offer new opportunities to investigate PP deformity in general and the OCST specifically. The purpose of this study is to investigate the OCST morphology using DM and to classify PP subtalar subtypes with DM using Bruckner's A-D classification system...

BACKGROUND: Though flatness of the talar dome (TD) is a potential consequence of operative and nonoperative clubfoot management, the functional impact of this deformity is not well understood. This study analyzes the relationship between TD morphology and ankle function at skeletal maturity in patients treated for idiopathic clubfoot during infancy. METHODS: 33 skeletally mature patients (average age 17.9 years) with 48 idiopathic clubfeet were identified. Weightbearing radiographs, gait analysis, and patient-reported outcomes using the Pediatric Orthopaedic Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) were obtained...

BACKGROUND: The number of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) procedures increased rapidly in the last years and so have its complications. The main pillars in treating failed TAA are revision total ankle arthroplasty (RTAA), revision total ankle arthrodesis (RAA), or revision tibiotalocalcaneal fusion (RTTC). To evaluate these options, we compared clinical, radiologic, and patient-reported outcomes. METHODS: A single-center, retrospective review of 111 cases of revision procedures of failed TAA from 2006 to 2020 was performed...
