Article Synopsis
- - Fracture-dislocation of the ankle is a common injury that often includes damage to the syndesmosis, and while CT and MRI are better for diagnosing these injuries, treatment usually involves either screws or a suture button for stabilization.
- - Dynamic stabilization with a suture button is preferred because it doesn’t require a second surgery to remove screws, but can lead to issues in patients with inflammatory conditions, potentially causing further complications like tendon degeneration.
- - A case of a 63-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis illustrates these challenges; after surgery for her ankle injury, she experienced a plano-valgus deformity due to migration of the suture button and arthritis in the syndesmosis joint.
Hallux rigidus is a common degenerative condition of first metatarso-phalangeal joint most commonly affecting patients above 50 years of age. The aim of our study is to evaluate the five-year results of synthetic cartilage implant (Cartiva) arthroplasty for hallux rigidus. A retrospective study of 70 patients who underwent synthetic cartilage implant interpositional arthroplasty were collected and analysed.

- - Freiberg's disease involves osteonecrosis of the lesser metatarsal heads, primarily seen in adolescent females, with rare cases occurring bilaterally.
- - Treatment typically starts with conservative methods, but surgical options like excision and microfracture are available, though results can be unpredictable.
- - This report highlights a unique case of a 17-year-old girl with bilateral Freiberg's disease successfully treated with Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis (AMIC), leading to great radiological and functional improvements.
Context: There are limited comparative studies between one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on body composition and musculoskeletal health.
Objective: To compare changes in body composition, areal bone mineral density (aBMD), muscle strength, and physical function in the first year following OAGB, RYGB and SG within a UK-based healthcare setting.
Methods: This is a secondary analysis of the BARI-LIFESTYLE trial in 119 adults (77% women; mean±SD, age: 45.
Stenosing tenosynovitis of the ankle with osseous bone formation following an open reduction and internal fixation of the ankle is a rare clinical condition. We report a case of adult-acquired flat foot following an open reduction and internal fixation of a bi-malleolar fracture due to tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction caused by stenosing tenosynovitis. This was managed by open excision of the bony tunnel and debridement, along with calcaneal osteotomy and distalization of the tendon, resulting in good functional outcomes.
