Is Generalized Ligamentous Laxity a Prognostic Factor for Recurred Hallux Valgus Deformity?
This study was performed to evaluate the intermediate-term clinical outcomes after proximal chevron osteotomy for hallux valgus in patients with generalized ligamentous laxity, and to determine the effect on postoperative recurrence of deformity. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Complications of distraction osteogenesis in brachymetatarsia: Comparison between the first and fourth brachymetatarsia
Brachymetatarsia is a rare foot disease with too short metatarsal bone due to congenital or developed condition [1]. Several surgical options have been described for the treatment of brachymetatarsia. Gradual distraction osteogenesis is the most widely used one for operative correction [2 –4] because it allows the lengthening of the metatarsal while giving adequate time for the soft tissue to adapt to the lengthened bone. Complications associated with treatment of distraction osteogenesis have been well documented [5,6]. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Distal fibular malrotation and lateral ankle contact characteristics
Stabilization of distal tibiofibular syndesmotic disruption with ankle fracture/dislocation has been reported to result in a relatively high rate of syndesmotic malreduction based on CT scan, with significantly worse functional outcome scores [1]. Those investigators also found a higher rate of malreduction with closed reduction compared with open reduction. Both internal and external rotational malreductions were identified. Several studies have recommended open syndesmotic reduction and postoperative CT assessment for reduction of the syndesmotic joint [1 –4] (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Use of a percutaneous osteotomy with plate fixation in hallux valgus correction
Hundreds of techniques have been described for surgical correction of hallux valgus [1,2]. Starting in the 1990 ’s [3,4], the so-called percutaneous techniques gained great popularity in foot surgery. Initially, there were two different groups, each with its own techniques and philosophy. There were the techniques popularized by de Prado et al. [4] in Europe, which advocates the performance of distal first metatarsal Reverdin-Isham-type osteotomies and a percutaneous release of the Abductor Hallucis tendon alongside a percutaneous Akin osteotomy.

Lateral malleolus closed reduction and internal fixation with intramedullary fibular rod using minimal invasive approach for the treatment of ankle fractures
Ankle fractures are very common, and represent about tenth of all fractures [1]. Population based studies have shown that the incidence of ankle fractures has increased significantly since the 1960s, and this even more true for elderly patients [2 –4]. Overall, about two-thirds of ankle fractures are isolated malleolar fractures, one-fourth are bimalleolar and the remaining 7% are trimalleolar fractures [1]. Techniques for fixation of fractures of the lateral malleolus have remained essentially unchanged since the 1960s. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

A comparison of union rates and complications between single screw and double screw fixation of sliding calcaneal osteotomy
Sliding calcaneal osteotomy is a common operative procedure used to correct hindfoot malalignment [1 –5]. Different methods of fixation have been described and include staples [6], plates [7], and most commonly cannulated screws [8,9]. Previous studies have examined differences between these various techniques and their association with hardware removal [10]. Among screw fixation, screw diameter and insertion technique have also been studied with regard to their effect on painful hardware, and more narrow screws have been found to be beneficial [9,11].

Mid-term outcomes of first metatarsophalangeal arthroplasty using the Primus FGT double-stemmed silicone implants
Since the 1950s, numerous implants were developed for arthroplasty of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP-1) joint [1], but none succeeded at granting patient satisfaction and implant survival to the levels established for hip and knee replacements [2 –5]. For this reason, arthrodesis remains to many surgeons, the ‘gold standard’ treatment for severe hallux arthritis or deformity [6–9]. The predictable outcomes of arthrodesis render it a possible alternative for revision of failed MTP-1 implants [10–12] despite associated shortcomings s uch as loss of mobility and cosmesis [5,13].
