The physiological range of the B öhler’s angle in the adult Croatian population
In his invited lecture on treatment of calcaneal fractures at the annual meeting of the American Orthopaedic Association, in Chatham, Massachusetts, in June 1930, an Austrian surgeon from Vienna, Lorenz B öhler (15 January 1885, Wolfurt in Vorarlberg, Austria — 20 January 1973, Vienna, Austria) [1–3], advocated for the restoration of the physiological angle connecting the superior aspects of anterior calcaneal process and posterior subtalar facet and the superior aspect of posterior subtalar fac et with posterior calcaneal tuberosity [4,5] (Fig. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Direction and location of the nutrient artery to the fifth metatarsal at risk in osteotomy for bunionette
The aims of this study were to identify the artery feeding the fifth metatarsal and determine how bunionette osteotomy could injure this vessel. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Percutaneous soft tissue release performed using a blunt cannula in rabbits with chronic collagenase-induced Achilles tendinopathy
Achilles tendinopathy is a chronic degenerative and inflammatory condition characterized by repetitive activity-related pain and focal tendon tenderness. It afflicts and affects more those who regularly participate in recreational and competitive sports [1]. Numerous pharmacological treatments, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and corticosteroid injections have been proposed to promote healing of this injury; however, in recalcitrant cases, the condition remains a source of frustration [2].

Ankle fractures with syndesmotic stabilisation are associated with a high rate of secondary osteoarthritis
Ankle fractures are amongst the most common injuries treated by orthopaedic surgeons [1], accounting for 9% of all fractures [2]. Unstable tibiofibular syndesmotic injuries presenting alongside ankle fracture arise in 10 –15% of cases [3,4]. Ankle fractures with an associated syndesmotic injury represent a more severe injury pattern with poorer functional outcomes when compared to injuries that required malleolar fixation alone [5].

Relationship of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms with susceptibility, surgical outcome and prognosis of hallux valgus in a Chinese Han population
Hallux valgus (HV), progressive bunion formation occurring in several stages, is characterized by lateral deviation of the big toe (hallux) and medial deviation of the first metatarsal (metatarsus primus varus). In its later stages, hallux valgus involves progressive subluxation of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint and transfer metatarsalgia [1,2]. According to a recent study involving patients in America, Germany, Russia, Spain, and China, the incidence of HV is 23% in adults aged 18 –65 years and 35.7% among those over 65 [3].

Stair-shaped Achilles tendon lengthening in continuity — A new method to treat equinus deformity in patients with spastic cerebral palsy
Foot equinus is the most common deformity in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) [1]. Approximately 90% of the deformities observed in cerebral palsy occur in the ankle and foot regions [2]. The incidence of equinus is around 75% [3]. Spastic equinus deformity must be treated in patients able to walk. Untreated foot disorders may lead to fixed contractures and proximal compensatory deformities requiring surgical intervention. Achilles tendon lengthening is one of the effective options for the treatment of equinus deformity. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)
