Background: Tarsal tunnel syndrome, also known as posterior tibial neuralgia, is a compressive neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve or one of its divisions (calcaneal, lateral plantar or medial plantar nerve) within the tarsal tunnel. This scoping review aims to systematically map and summarise current literature regarding the management of tarsal tunnel syndrome.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Emcare, Medline and Cinahl were searched using the terms 'tarsal tunnel', 'syndrome', 'entrapment', 'compression', 'posterior tibial', 'neuropathy' and 'neuralgia.
Background: Evidence suggests that certain groups of orthopaedic patients have an increased prevalence of mental health disorders than the general population. This scoping review aims to evaluate the effect of pre-operative mental health on outcomes of foot and ankle surgery.
Methods: A literature search was performed in four databases.

Introduction: Together with ankle arthrodesis, total ankle arthroplasty is now accepted as a first-line intervention in the management of end-stage arthritis of the ankle. The evidence regarding how outcomes are affected by surgeon experience is inconsistent; we performed a systematic review to evaluate the effect of a learning curve in total ankle arthroplasty outcomes.
Methods: An electronic database search was performed in PubMed, Embase, ISI Web of Science and Cochrane trials.
Introduction: Non-traumatic pseudoaneurysms are very rare but should be considered as a differential diagnosis on patients presenting with a thigh mass.
Case Report: We present an extremely unusual case of a 70-year-old patient who presented with clinical features of a soft-tissue sarcoma of the thigh that instead was proven to be a non-traumatic pseudoaneurysm. There was also incidental finding of bilateral leg non-traumatic pseudoaneurysms.
