Article Synopsis
- First tarsometatarsal arthrodesis is a surgery used to correct hallux valgus deformities, traditionally done with an open approach, but there's growing interest in arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques.
- A case series was conducted to explore these techniques on complicated hallux valgus cases, allowing for easier access with specialized tools.
- Results showed good postoperative outcomes, with high patient satisfaction and a follow-up period averaging about 17.7 months, suggesting the procedure is safe and effective.
Surgical complications are inevitable in any surgical subspecialty. Throughout the years, many classification systems have been developed to better understand and report such complications. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the variability and frequency of reporting terms used to describe adverse events and complications in hallux valgus reconstruction.

Surgical treatment aims to restore the damaged cartilage's integrity and quality. However, the current evidence for establishing best practices in ankle cartilage repair is characterized by limited quality and a low level of evidence.

This study aims to assess the relationship between perception of SDM and demographic, clinical, and patient-reported outcomes in patients undergoing Hallux Valgus (HV) correction. A prospective analysis of 306 patients scheduled for HV surgery was completed.

- Sinus tarsi syndrome (STS) refers to pain in the lateral area of the tarsal sinus, but its exact cause is not well understood, and some question if it is a real condition.
- This review analyzes existing literature to clarify STS, suggesting that it may just be a broad term for various causes of pain in that area, including impingement and instability.
- The authors recommend thorough patient evaluations and propose using specific diagnoses instead of STS, allowing for more targeted and effective treatment options.
