The April 2024 Foot & Ankle Roundup. 360. looks at: Safety of arthroscopy combined with radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy for osteochondritis of the talus; Bipolar allograft transplantation of the ankle; Identifying risk factors for osteonecrosis after talar fracture; Balancing act: immediate versus delayed weightbearing in ankle fracture recovery; Levelling the field: proximal supination osteotomy’s efficacy in severe and super-severe
Aims. The purpose of this study is to examine the adductus impact on the second metatarsal by the nonosteotomy nonarthrodesis syndesmosis procedure for the

We reviewed 91 patients (103 feet) who underwent
a Ludloff osteotomy combined with additional procedures. According
to the combined procedures performed, patients were divided into
Group I (31 feet; first web space release), Group II (35 feet; Akin
osteotomy and trans-articular release), or Group III (37 feet; Akin
osteotomy, supplementary axial Kirschner (K-) wire fixation, and
trans-articular release). Each group was then further subdivided
into severe and moderate deformities. The mean

We prospectively reviewed 24 patients (35 feet) who had been treated by a Scarf osteotomy and Akin closing-wedge osteotomy for
The purpose of this study was to compare the
results of proximal and distal chevron osteotomy in patients with moderate
hallux valgus. We retrospectively reviewed 34 proximal chevron osteotomies without
lateral release (PCO group) and 33 distal chevron osteotomies (DCO
group) performed sequentially by a single surgeon. There were no
differences between the groups with regard to age, length of follow-up,
demographic or radiological parameters. The clinical results were
assessed using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS)
scoring system and the radiological results were compared between
the groups. At a mean follow-up of 14.6 months (14 to 32) there were no significant
differences in the mean AOFAS scores between the DCO and PCO groups
(93.9 (82 to 100) and 91.8 (77 to 100), respectively; p = 0.176).
