Gold panning: Surgeons hunt for bunion gold standard
Since surgical bunion correction was first described, there have been more than 100 different procedures developed to treat the deformity commonly known as hallux valgus. Two of the most utilized procedures, Lapidus-type fusion and minimally invasive (MIS) bunion surgery, have taken center stage in recent years due to advances in surgeon skill and technology, which have allowed physicians to treat the entire 3D plane of hallux valgus deformity.
Outpatient versus inpatient surgery for ankle fractures: A randomized controlled non-inferiority trial
Growing evidence supports a shift from inpatient to outpatient surgical treatment for ankle fractures. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of inpatient versus outpatient surgery of ankle fractures on patient-reported outcome utilizing the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) at 12 weeks following surgery. Secondary aims were to report patients’ satisfaction, adverse events, pain, physical function, and bone healing between inpatient and outpatient treatment.
How tennis takes a toll: The leg and foot injuries players need to watch out for
Tennis demands explosive movement like lunges, pivots, sprints and sudden stops. Every serve starts with a push from the toes. Every rally shifts weight between the heel and forefoot. Unlike sports with linear movement, like sprinting, tennis places constant multi-directional stress on the feet and ankles—two of the most frequently injured body parts in the game.
Hallux Rigidus with an Increased or Equal First Metatarsal Length after a Cheilectomy and First Metatarsal Shortening Osteotomy (FMSO) Using a Small Shortening Scarf: A Retrospective 7-year Clinical and Gait Analysis Follow-up
To evaluate the long-term outcomes of a combined surgical approach using cheilectomy and shortening SCARF osteotomy for moderate hallux rigidus (Coughlin grades 2-3) in active patients with a first metatarsal index equal to or longer than the second metatarsal.

Comparing the efficacy of ankle arthrodesis performed through anterior or lateral approaches in end-stage ankle arthritis treatment
To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthrodesis performed through anterior and lateral approaches for ankle arthritis treatment.
Effect of surgery for ankle osteoarthritis on locomotive syndrome
Locomotive syndrome (LS) is characterized by a decline in locomotor function due to musculoskeletal disorders. However, few studies have explored its association with ankle osteoarthritis (AOA) or surgical impact. This study evaluated LS and its improvement following corrective osteotomy (CO) or arthrodesis for AOA and compared outcomes between procedures. LS stages, ranging from 0 (healthy) to 3 (most declined), were assessed preoperatively and at 12 months postoperatively using the stand-up test (ability to rise from different heights), two-step test (maximum stride length over two strides), and GLFS-25 (self-reported locomotor function).
What to know about anterior ankle impingement
Anterior ankle impingement occurs when the soft tissue around the ankle becomes caught between the shin bone and the front of the ankle. It may also occur due to bone spurs, which are an early sign of osteoarthritis.
Why a Lisfranc Injury Needs Months to Heal
A Lisfranc injury involves the midfoot and may mean a pulled or torn ligament, fracture, or joint dislocation. These injuries can be mild or the result of severe trauma. Any Lisfranc injury, mild or severe, can lead to long-term complications like chronic pain, osteoarthritis, and foot deformities.
