Novel 2 Medial Incision Plantar Fascia Endoscopy
This article describes a novel, 2 medial incision plantar fascia endoscopy technique to treat plantar fasciitis, which has failed conservative treatment. We have successfully treated 10 heels in 9 patients without complications, including infection or nerve injury. The 2 medial incision plantar fascia endoscopy is different from other endoscopic plantar fascia techniques and offers better visibility of the plantar fascia and calcaneal tuberosity, as well as decreased risk of iatrogenic injury to the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve (LPN).

A Modification of the Broström-Gould Procedure
We present a new modification of anatomic repair with reinforcement by the extensor retinaculum and a periosteal flap with the use of a suture anchor in foot and ankle surgery. The steps of the modification are: (1) repair of the lateral structures to the distal fibula using 2 suture anchors; (2) reinforcement of fibula subperiosteal flap to prevent tearing during imbrications; and (3) repair of the subperiosteal flap to the lateral ligament complex and the inferior extensor retinaculum. The early results of our modification show it to be safe, successful, and comparable to previously published series with all patients hav...

Bone Marrow Stimulation and Biological Adjuncts for Treatment of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus
Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) frequently occur after ankle sprain or fracture. Although there has been a growing interest in OLT treatment recently, the pathology has been recognized for hundreds of years. Yet there is a lack of consensus as to the most effective treatment strategy. Because of a lack of vasculature and the relative hypocellularity of articular cartilage, OLT are difficult to treat. Arthroscopic bone marrow stimulation (BMS) has become a commonly used method of treating smaller, primary OLT because of technical simplicity, the advantages of minimally invasive access, and cost-effectiveness. Resul...
