Gastrocnemius tightness: A population based observational study
Whilst it has been suggested that gastrocnemius tightness (GT) is one of the most common causes of restriction in ankle dorsiflexion [1], no large study has been performed to assess the prevalence of GT in the general population. It has been proposed that an isolated gastrocnemius equinus deformity leads to excessive pressure and overload throughout the foot thereby causing pain and deformity [2]. GT has therefore been shown to be associated with multiple musculoskeletal pathologies such as metatarsalgia, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinopathy, hallux valgus [3 –6], knee pain [7,8] and back pain [9].

Beware the hallucal interphalangeal joint sesamoid in first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis
The hallucal interphalangeal joint sesamoid (HIPJS) lies within the interphalangeal joint of the great toe (IPJ1) beneath the head of the proximal phalanx. Typically situated in the midline, it may also lie slightly medial or lateral. It ranges from 0.05 to 1.0cm in size. Pyramidal in shape, its plantar osseous oval base is firmly embedded within the dorsal surface of the plantar capsule, above the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon. Its cartilaginous apex points dorsally into the joint cavity. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Letter to the Editor on “Comparison of postoperative pain control methods after bony surgery in the foot and ankle”
I read with great interest the article “Comparison of postoperative pain control methods after bony surgery in the foot and ankle” by Kang et al. in a recent issue of the journal [1]. The authors performed a prospective study on 84 patients who underwent foot and ankle surgery and concluded that ultrasound-guided injection of a dilut ed anesthetic into the sciatic nerve seemed to be the most useful method for controlling pain in the acute phase after bone surgery in the foot and ankle. The authors should be congratulated for performing a study in an important topic (e.g. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

The effects of weight bearing on the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis: A study comparing weight bearing-CT with conventional CT
Injuries involving the syndesmosis are common in ankle fractures and sprains, but may be difficult to diagnose. They commonly result from rotation of the talus which forces the fibula to externally rotate and translate laterally [1]. Hintermann et al. arthroscopically assessed 266 patients with ankle fractures and reported injury to the syndesmosis in 44% of cases [2]. Fallat et al. performed a retrospective analysis of 639 ankle sprains presenting to their unit and detected syndesmotic injuries in 4% [3]. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)
