Background: To provide improved treatment for hallux valgus (HV), we sought to understand more about the pathophysiologic connection between flatfoot deformity and HV by comparing coronal plane alignment of the medial column of the foot for patients with isolated HV, isolated flatfoot, and combined HV-flatfoot vs controls.
Methods: This study retrospectively assessed a consecutive series of 33 patients with combined symptomatic and radiographic HV and flatfoot, 33 isolated symptomatic HV, 33 isolated symptomatic flatfoot, and 33 controls. The medial column alignment was assessed in the coronal plane using 3-dimensional weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT); rotation was measured for the navicular, medial cuneiform, and first metatarsal (M1).
Background: To investigate the impact of decompressive chevron osteotomy on subchondral bone density at the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint.
Methods: Sixteen feet (12 patients) with hallux rigidus underwent decompressive chevron osteotomy. Standing cone beam 3D computed tomography (3DCT) were assessed preoperatively and at 4-month follow-up, and clinical data were collected.
Article Synopsis
- Latissimus dorsi tendon transfer (LDTT) has been shown to improve shoulder function and reduce pain over a long-term period, particularly in patients with irreparable massive rotator cuff tears, although those with fatty infiltration of certain muscles may have worse outcomes.
- This study followed 143 patients who underwent LDTT between 2004 and 2013, collecting data on complications and outcomes after a minimum of 10 years, with some patients ultimately needing further surgery (reverse shoulder arthroplasty).
- Out of the tracked patients, 101 were evaluated at an average of 12.3 years post-surgery, providing valuable long-term insights into the effectiveness of LDTT in enhancing shoulder mobility and function.
Purpose: To compare outcomes, between stemmed and stemless reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) at a minimum follow-up of 5 years.
Methods: The authors retrospectively assessed a consecutive series of 45 patients that underwent RSA between September 2014 and October 2018 (23 stemless and 22 stemmed). All patients underwent plain anteroposterior and scapular Y-view radiographs for assessment immediately post-operatively and at final follow-up.
Pyrocarbon Hemi-Shoulder Arthroplasty Provides Satisfactory Outcomes Following Prior Open Latarjet.

Purpose: To assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes, at a minimum follow-up of 4 years, following HSA using pyrocarbon in patients that had prior open Latarjet.
Methods: The authors retrieved the records of 61 consecutive patients that underwent HSA with a pyrocarbon humeral head at 2 centers between December 2013 and October 2019. Eight patients (9 shoulders) had undergone previous Latarjet procedures without other surgical antecedents.
