BACKGROUND: Nonunion is one of the most common and devastating complications following midfoot joint arthrodesis. Many different types of bone grafts and bone substitutes have been used to promote osseous fusion. However, there is no consensus on the gold standard bone grafting material and whether biologic materials should be used alone or in combination. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficiency of highly porous β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) in midfoot joint arthrodesis...

In placing the medial suture button for syndesmosis injury, the risk of great saphenous vein and saphenous nerve injury has been reported. This study aimed to determine the safe insertion angle of the guide pin to avoid saphenous structure injury during suture button fixation. The incidence of saphenous structure injury was investigated using 8 legs of cadavers. The greater saphenous vein was depicted on the skin using near-infrared light (VeinViewer® Flex) and the distance between the greater saphenous vein and the posterior edge of the tibia at levels of 10, 20, and 30 mm from the joint line of the tibiotalar joint was measured in the 60 legs of healthy participants...

OBJECTIVE: We sought to assess whether the presence of an os peroneum is correlated with cavovarus foot alignment in patients without a neurologic explanation for their foot shape. We hypothesized that a large os peroneum would increase the power of the peroneus longus and lead to a forefoot-driven, hindfoot varus deformity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single institution and reviewed patients with 3 weightbearing views of the foot on plain radiography...

Although hammertoe (HT) is a common complaint among foot patients, there is little consensus on the best surgical approach for correction. These authors hypothesized that the use of a headless intramedullary screw across both the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) and distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) would decrease many post-surgical complications, such as infection, pain, and mallet toe deformity, found in traditional HT corrective surgical techniques. In this retrospective cohort study, N = 163 adult patients who had undergone DIPJ/PIPJ arthrodesis for HT correction at least 1 year prior to the study were identified...

Numerous surgical procedures for the treatment of posterior tibialis tendon (PTT) dysfunction have been developed, including tendon transfers, osteotomies, and arthrodesis. Among these methods, foot and ankle surgeons most frequently use flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendon transfer in conjunction with medial translational osteotomy of the calcaneus. Formerly, some less invasive techniques have been described to reduce surgical-related complications after FDL tendon transfer. Herein, we introduced a new modification of short-stump FDL tendon fixation to the navicular bone and reported the functional outcomes of the current technique in a patient with PTT dysfunction...

BACKGROUND: After talocrural arthrodesis, adjacent joints (subtalar, talonavicular, and calcaneocuboid) are often affected by osteoarthritis (OA)). It is unclear if OA is pre-existing to talocrural arthrodesis, or whether it develops after talocrural arthrodesis. This retrospective study is unique because it is the first study with preoperative and follow-up computed tomography (CT). The aim of this study is to investigate whether OA develops in adjacent joints after talocrural arthrodesis or if OA is already pre-existing...

Tranexamic acid has been shown to significantly reduce blood loss in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty. However, there is a paucity of data regarding its safety and efficacy in total ankle arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to determine whether tranexamic acid use in patients with total ankle arthroplasty affects blood loss or overall complication rate. A retrospective chart review was conducted for 64 patients who underwent total ankle arthroplasty with (n = 32) and without (n = 32) intraoperative tranexamic acid from 2014 to 2023 at a single academic medical center...

JOURNAL ARTICLE

Checkrein deformity is a rare entity that results in alteration of the normal flexion and extension of the hallux, caused by a retraction or adhesion of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) in its tendinous or muscular portion. It is usually caused by the sequelae of ankle and tibia fractures, such as adhesions and neuropathies, and often undiagnosed compartment syndromes. Its treatment is mainly surgical, and different techniques of release or lengthening of the FHL have been described. We present the clinical case of a 61-year-old patient treated by a simple arthroscopic tenotomy of the FHL at the retromalleolar level of the ankle, with complete functional recovery and absence of recurrence after 2 years of evolution...

This study reports the clinical outcomes and evolution of 4 patients with subungual glomus tumor (GT) of the hallux treated with tumor excision. Preoperatively, all patients had pain of intensity 9 or 10. Three were sensitive to cold and had stabbing pain, and one reported pulsatile pain. No patient presented nail alterations. There were no bone alterations on radiographic images and diagnostic suspicion of GT was supported by magnetic resonance images. Surgical treatment was indicated due to severe pain and functional limitation...
