Arthroscopic treatment of lateral ankle instability. Is there a safe zone? An anatomic studys
A variety of surgical techniques have been described to manage chronic ankle instability. These procedures can be classified into three different techniques: anatomic repair, anatomic reconstruction and non-anatomic reconstruction [1]. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

First MTP joint instability — Expanding the concept of “Turf-toe” injuries
The first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP1) has a differentiated and complex anatomy in relation to its counterparts in the smaller toes. It has a thick articular capsule fused with tendinous, ligamentous, and osseous structures [1,2]. The classic definition of the Turf-toe injury refers to a very specific clinical and pathological picture related with the practice of the American Football and with particular characteristics to the gesture of this sport [3 –5]. This term was first used in 1976 by Bowers and Martin to describe a “sprain of the plantar capsule ligament of the hallux metatarsophalangeal joint” [2,6]. (So...

Fractures of the anterior process of the calcaneum: A review and proposed treatment algorithm
We would like to thank Dhinsa et al. for pointing their finger at a highly underrepresented injury in current foot and ankle literature. They published a review and proposed a treatment algorithm for fractures to the anterior process of the calcaneus (APC) [1]. According to their methodology, they conducted a “comprehensive literature search […] conforming to the PRISMA statement”. Based on the 23 studies finally included, the authors then proposed a treatment algorithm. They suggested conservative treatment (6 weeks immobilization and non-weightbearing) for acute undisplaced fractures classified t ype I and II accor...
