Incidence of Nonunion Following First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis for Hallux Valgus Deformity: A Retrospective Analysis of Four Different Constructs
Arthrodesis of the great toe joint is a valuable procedure for hallux valgus deformities.The primary aim of this study was to determine nonunion rates of a first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) arthrodesis for bunion deformity. This was a retrospective review of 166 consecutive limbs that underwent a first metatarsal phalangeal joint arthrodesis at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center (WFBMC). Procedures were performed using four different constructs for the arthrodesis. Incidence of nonunion, intermetatarsal correction, infection, and recurrence were measured.

Amputation Acceptance: A Survey of Factors Influencing the Decision to Undergo Lower Extremity Amputation
Accepting to undergo amputation is an arduous process often fraught with confusion, fear, and uncertainty. To assess how to best facilitate discussions with at-risk patients, we surveyed lower extremity amputees about their experiences surrounding this decision-making process. Patients who underwent lower extremity amputation at our institution from October 2020 to October 2021 were asked to complete a five-item phone survey assessing their decision to undergo amputation and post-operative satisfaction.

Clinical Outcomes of Total Knee Arthroplasty with Concomitant Total Ankle Arthroplasty Versus Ankle Arthrodesis
Prior studies have demonstrated a high incidence of ankle osteoarthritis (OA) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) as well as inferior outcomes in the setting of ankle OA or hindfoot malalignment. Little is known about the effect of the two most common surgical treatments for ankle OA, ankle arthrodesis and total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) on TKA. This hypothesis is that the preservation of ankle motion afforded by total ankle arthroplasty may reduce pathologic stresses across the knee joint. (Source: Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Symptomatic Hammertoes Treatment Comparison: Peg-In-Hole Arthrodesis versus End-To-End Screw Fixation
Proximal interphalangeal (PIP) arthrodesis technique utilizing the peg-in-hole arthrodesis was founded to avoid the use of retained internal fixation implants and thereby potentially decrease the concern of hardware complication. The specific aim of this study was to report the complication rates of the modified peg-in-hole arthrodesis technique and the end-to-end arthrodesis with single screw fixation technique for correcting symptomatic hammertoe deformities in lesser digits. This retrospective chart review included patients who underwent surgical hammertoe correction of lesser digits between the dates of January 2012 an...

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Early Mobilization vs Six Weeks of Immobilization in a Walking Cast Following Total Ankle Replacement
Rehabilitation for patients after total ankle replacement traditionally involves weeks of immobilization in a plaster cast followed by progressive mobilization. In a small randomized trial, we compared teh outcomes of patients who received a 3-component cementless, unconstrained, mobile-bearing prosthesis and were initially immobilised in a plaster cast for 6 weeks to thoese who received the same prosthesis but were allowed to mobilise early. Gait, clinical, patient-reported, and radiologic outcomes were measured. (Source: Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Rehabilitation for patients after total ankle replacement traditionally involves weeks of immobilization in a plaster cast followed by progressive mobilization. Using a small randomized trial, we compared outcomes after implantation of a three-component cementless, unconstrained, mobile-bearing prosthesis for patients who had initial immobilization in a plaster cast for six weeks and patients who instead had early mobilization. Gait, clinical, patient-reported, and radiologic outcomes were measured. (Source: Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Determining the feasibility of arthroscopic anterior talofibular ligament repair utilizing a novel classification system
The purposes of this study were to classify anterior talofibular ligament injuries (ATFL), to find out the feasibility of arthroscopic ATFL repair according to injury type and to investigate the diagnostic validity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of ATFL injuries by comparing MRI and arthroscopic findings. The 197 ankles (93 right, 104 left; 12 bilateral) of 185 patients (90 men and 107 women; mean age, 33.5 years, range: 15 –68 years) were treated by arthroscopic modified Broström procedure (MBP) after a diagnosis of chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI).

Outcome after treatment of distal fibula fractures using one-third tubular plate, locking compression plate or distal anatomical locking compression plate.
Surgical treatment of lateral distal fibula fractures is associated with high risk of reoperation and complications. The primary aim was to report risks of surgical site infection (SSI) and reoperation ≤1 year after treatment with one-third tubular plate, locking compression plate (LCP) or distal anatomical LCP. Secondary, to investigate associations between patient, fracture and operative factors and risk of SSI and reoperation. Retrospectively, we evaluated a consecutive cohort of 588 patients having osteosynthesis of distal fibula with a one-third tubular plate (n=417), LCP (n=115) or distal anatomical LCP plate (n=56...

A comparative study of foot range of motion and activities of daily living status of patients following ankle arthrodesis and tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis
Subtalar arthrodesis in addition to ankle arthrodesis (AA) should have effect on foot motion and functional capabilities pertaining to activities of daily living (ADL); however, it is not well characterized. We compared the foot range of motion and ADL-related functional capabilities between patients who had undergone AA and tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (TTC). Twenty one AA patients and 10 TTC patients were enrolled. Foot sagittal motion arc was measured by radiographs. Patient satisfaction, ADL, footwear restriction, and rating scale scores were compared between the two groups. (Source: Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery)
