Comments on: Computed tomography measurements of the lesser metatarsal heads: Anatomic considerations for surgeons performing distal metatarsal osteotomies
We read with interest your article titled “Computed tomography measurements of the lesser metatarsal heads: Anatomic considerations for surgeons performing distal metatarsal osteotomies.” [1]. We have substantial concerns with the methodology of this study and the conclusions drawn by the authors. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Surgical repair of osteochondral lesions of the talus using biologic inlay osteochondral reconstruction: Clinical outcomes after treatment using a medial malleolar osteotomy approach compared to an arthroscopically-assisted approach
Osteochondral lesions of the talar dome (OCLT) may result from a variety pathologies which present with similar clinical symptomatology and macroscopic appearance of osteochondral injury [1]. The majority of these lesions are thought to be associated with a traumatic etiology, with lesions identified in 50 –73% of acute ankle injuries [2,3]. Among non-traumatic causes of OCLT, degenerative joint disease, avascular necrosis, peripheral vascular disease, and metabolic or endocrine disorders are important contributors [1].

A prospective evaluation of bone marrow aspirate concentrate and microfracture in the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus
Ankle sprains are an extremely common injury; approximately 27,000 ankle sprains occur per day in America. Osteochondral lesions of the talus refer to a chondral or subchondral defect of the articular cartilage and potentially the underlying bone [1,2]. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Fractures of the anterior process of the calcaneum; a review and proposed treatment algorithm
A fracture of the anterior process of the calcaneus (APC) can often co-exist with a lateral ankle ligament injury. Patients may complain of lateral pain distal and anterior to the tip of the fibula. Due to the high incidence of injuries to the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), whose anatomical location is in close proximity to the APC, an accurate assessment of these injuries can be difficult, unless a high index of suspicion is exercised. However, with a focused examination and appropriate investigations a fracture of the APC may be identified. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Internal fixation of three-dimensional distal metatarsal I osteotomies in the treatment of hallux valgus deformities using biodegradable magnesium screws in comparison to titanium screws
Hallux valgus is the most common deformity of the forefoot. The global pooled prevalence of hallux valgus is estimated at up to 23 % in adults aged 18 –65 years and 35.7 % in elderly people aged over 65 years [1]. Conservative treatment aims to reduce pain and symptoms, but is inefficient in correcting this deformity [2]. Therefore, up to 150 different surgical techniques have been developed for the correction of the deformity [3–6]. According to the guidelines published by the German Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (DAF) in 2014, suitable surgical techniques for mild and moderate deformities are distal or proximal ...

Importance of postoperative sesamoid reduction on the outcomes of proximal chevron osteotomy for moderate to severe hallux valgus deformity
Proximal metatarsal chevron osteotomy combined with a distal soft tissue procedure has been widely used to correct moderate to severe hallux valgus deformities. Previous studies have reported excellent outcomes with this procedure and high rates of patient satisfaction [1 –6]. However, there may be recurrence of the hallux valgus deformity after proximal metatarsal chevron osteotomy. The recurrence of the hallux valgus deformity is due to various reasons, including incomplete release of the adductor hallucis tendon, insufficient imbrication of the medial capsule, i ncreased distal metatarsal articular angle, insufficient...

Tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis with distal tibial allograft for massive bone deficits in the ankle
Tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis in patients with severe deformity and bone loss presents a substantial challenge to successful reconstruction [1 –4]. Common indications include posttraumatic osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthropathies, neuroarthropathies, neuromuscular deformities, talar avascular necrosis, nonunion of an ankle arthrodesis, or failed total ankle arthroplasty (TAR) [5]. Options for surgical management of these challenging pr oblems include primary TTC arthrodesis with shortening, talectomy with TTC arthrodesis and extreme shortening, distal fusion with proximal Ilizarov bone transport to restore lengt...

Accuracy of patient-specific instrumentation in total ankle arthroplasty: A comparative study
New technologies are constantly being developed with the final purpose of improving medical treatments. Based on preoperative computed tomography, patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) for total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) allows the construction of preoperative plans with respect to bone resections, implant positioning and sizing of the implants. PSI has demonstrated variable results for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the past decade. Even though some authors [1 –3] have shown improvement of alignment and decreased operative time in TKA with the use of PSI, recent studies [4,5] have failed to confirm these results. (Sou...
