Chronic Achilles tendon (AT) ruptures pose a significant reconstructive challenge. While various surgical techniques have been described, comparative data between open allograft augmentation and endoscopic autograft transfer remain scarce.

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) chevron osteotomy has emerged as an alternative to the traditional open chevron (OC) osteotomy for hallux valgus correction, aiming to achieve similar deformity correction with reduced soft-tissue trauma and faster recovery. However, the relative clinical and radiographic outcomes of these techniques remain debated.

Needle arthroscopy (nanoscopy) is gaining recognition as a minimally invasive alternative to standard arthroscopy, offering improved visualization of intra-articular structures. This cadaveric study evaluates its feasibility, effectiveness, and learning curve in the ankle joint.

This study aimed to report our experience with the combined use of hemiwedge supramalleolar osteotomy (SMO) procedure and open ankle arthrodesis (AA) for correcting end-stage ankle arthritis with large varus deformity in the same operative session.

Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OCD) are common intra-articular ankle pathologies with unclear anatomical risk factors. Morphometric variations may predispose to OCD by altering joint biomechanics.

Achilles tenotomy is an integral component of the Ponseti method for treating congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV). Although traditionally performed using a scalpel in a sterile setting, percutaneous needle tenotomy has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative. However, comparative evaluations of these techniques using clinical and ultrasonographic parameters remain limited.

The tibialis anterior tendon (TAT) is a critical structure for foot dorsiflexion and medial arch stabilization. Despite its functional importance, the morphological variability of the TAT remains underrecognized in clinical and surgical settings. This review aims to present a comprehensive overview of TAT anatomical variants, their diagnostic imaging features, and implications for foot and ankle surgery.

This study aimed to identify factors affecting ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DROM) under non-weightbearing (knee extended and flexed) and weightbearing conditions.

Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) of the foot is practically unknown following elective surgeries. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to: 1. investigate the incidence, relative risk (RR) and odds ratio (OD) in relation to the type of foot surgery, 2. to study the benefits of prophylactic decompression of the forefoot on the occurrence of ACS, postoperative pain, hospital stay, additional surgeries and morbidity MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study was done in children operated between 2008 and 2022. The feet were divided into group -1 (2008-2018) with no prophylactic decompression of the forefoot and group -2 (2019-2022), with prophylactic decompression of the forefoot at the time of foot surgery. The surgeries performed were divided into 6 types. A single-tailed T-test for unpaired samples was used.

This study aimed to develop the Turkish version of TENDINS-A (TENDINS-A-TR) and evaluate its measurement properties.

To investigate autologous cartilage-bone graft survivorship and outcomes among young patients with symptomatic osteochondritis dissecans lesion of the talus a long-term follow-up study is warranted.

Football causes over 4 million injuries each year, making injury prevention a priority. To mitigate the risks, FIFA neuromuscular programs (FIFA 11 +, FIFA 11 + Kids, and FIFA 11) are implemented to reduce injury risk. Nevertheless, their efficacy varies across populations and implementation protocols.

Flexible flatfoot is a common pediatric condition characterized by a reducible loss of the medial longitudinal arch during weight-bearing. While subtalar arthroereisis is widely used for its minimally invasive correction, long-term outcomes-particularly arch stability after implant removal-remain poorly understood. This study evaluates radiological and functional changes from implant insertion to removal in adolescent flatfoot patients.

The number of total ankle replacements (TAR) is increasing each year and with that an associated rise in the burden of revision ankle replacement (rTAR) (Ratnamsey et al.) [3]. When a TAR fails, two options emerge: Arthrodesis or rTAR (Goldberg et al.) [1]; (Egglestone et al.) [2]; (Hinterman et al.) [4]. The preferred option in our centre following network discussion, is to convert the failing TAR to a rTAR. There is uncertainty whether this is best done in a single staged approach or two stages. The aim of this review was to assess the outcomes of single-to-two-staged approaches in rTAR, and to ascertain if there was any increase in complications or impaired outcome in the single-staged approach.

This study investigates the quality, accuracy, and readability of ChatGPT's responses to common patient inquiries regarding hallux rigidus.

Achieving precise three-dimensional reconstruction during foot and ankle corrective surgeries is challenging. Intraoperative plantar pressure measurement (IPPM) can help assess foot morphology and detect abnormal pressure distributions. We developed an IPPM system using a navigation to align the floor reaction force with the femoral head's center. This study evaluates its accuracy in anesthetized patients.

Tibial diaphysis fractures, accounting for 17 % of lower extremity fractures, are often associated with fibular fractures. This study compares intramedullary pinning and extramedullary plating for fibular fixation following tibial fracture fixation.

Chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) is a common condition often requiring surgical reconstruction of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL). While autografts are traditionally used, allografts are gaining interest due to reduced donor site morbidity. This study aimed to compare graft maturation between autograft and allograft using a multimodal MRI evaluation at one year.
