Injuries to the tibialis anterior tendon (TAT) are rarely reported in the literature, and, in existing reports, there are varied treatment options. Many authors recommend operative treatment over conservative treatment in young, healthy, and active patients, in order to give the patient as much strength back as possible and to allow them to avoid the use of a brace. Different types of operative repair have been described, including: extensor digitorum longus transfer, extensor hallucis longus transfer, plantaris transfer, Achilles autograft, as well as gracilis and semitendinosus autografts and allografts. We advocate usin...

Arthroscopic Reconstruction of the Anterior Inferior Tibiofibular Ligament for Chronic Disruption of the Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmosis: Technical Note
We describe an arthroscopic technique of anatomic reconstruction of the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligaments with tibialis allograft and biodegradable syndesmotic screw fixation. (Source: Techniques in Foot and Ankle Surgery)

A New Lateral Fixed Angle Locking Ankle Arthrodesis Plate: Technique and Rate of Union
Arthrodesis of the ankle joint is a well-established treatment for painful, end-stage ankle arthritis. Managing deformity, poor bone quality or bone loss poses greater challenges for the surgeon. As a result, angle-stable devices such as blade plates and nonanatomic locking plates have been studied biomechanically and found to exhibit some mechanical advantages over screws in stabilizing the arthrodesis, thus potentially offering a solution. A new anatomically contoured, fixed angled lateral locking ankle arthrodesis plate was developed and its efficacy was assessed for rate of union in patients with deformity, poor bone q...

Description and Results of a Fully Arthroscopic Anatomic Broström Repair and Gould Modification
We present the results in 15 consecutive cases performed with this entirely arthroscopic technique. We believe that this technique gives better visualization of the structures than an open technique and that as a result a more anatomic reconstruction can be performed.
Level of Evidence: Diagnostic Level 5. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence. (Source: Techniques in Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Intraoperative Mulitplanar Alignment System to Guide Triplanar Correction of Hallux Valgus Deformity
Hallux valgus surgery or “bunion surgery” is one of the most common surgical procedures for the foot and ankle surgeon. As we continue to gain understanding of this complex deformity, it has become clear that our understanding may be incomplete. The Lapidus procedure was described over 80 years ago and still offers many challenges. Often the choice of a Lapidus procedure is not considered due to the complexity or perceived complications. As the traditional Lapidus procedure relied on multiple freehand steps that can be fraught with error, it was often relegated to be used as a last resort. As our understanding of the h...

Achilles Tendon Repair With the PARS: Innovative Double Locking Techniques and Device Positioning Based on MRI Study
This article presents techniques using double locking or 2 locked repair sutures in each tendon, along with the standard repair technique. An important component of these techniques is anatomic positioning of the PARS, keeping the arms parallel to the Achilles tendon and properly externally rotated using the results of a magnetic resonance imaging study to improve tendon capture. Early studies have shown good clinical outcomes and suggest that minimally invasive techniques such as the PARS are clinically and biomechanically suitable alternatives to open repair for Achilles tendon ruptures.
Level of Evidence: Diagnostic Le...

Stage IIB Flatfoot Reconstruction Using Literature-based Equations for Heel Slide and Lateral Column Lengthening
Adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) is a disease characterized by insufficiency of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. Stage IIB AAFD occurs when there is a passively correctible collapse of the arch, increased abduction at the talonavicular joint, and hindfoot valgus. In the mid-1990s, a flatfoot reconstruction was proposed that combined the use of a medializing calcaneal osteotomy (MCO), a lateral column lengthening (LCL), and soft-tissue procedures for the treatment of stage IIB AAFD. More recent literature has suggested guidelines for the amount of correction necessary for each of these procedures based on i...
