Risk factors for chronic ankle instability after first episode of lateral ankle sprain: A retrospective analysis of 362 cases.

Background: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a common sequela following an acute lateral ankle sprain (LAS). To treat an acute LAS more effectively and efficiently, it is important to identify patients at substantial risk for developing CAI. This study identifies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) manifestations for predicting CAI development after a first episode of LAS and explores appropriate clinical indications for ordering MRI scans for these patients.

Clinical significance of the anteromedial talus osteophyte in anteromedial ankle impingement in chronic lateral ankle instability.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between anteromedial ankle osteophytes (AMAO) and anteromedial ankle impingement (AMAI) in chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) through visualization and quantification.

Methods: Forty-three patients with unilateral CLAI between September 2018 and March 2020 accepted arthroscopic repair of an anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and were split into two groups: AMAI (AMAI including intraoperative AMAO resection) and pure CLAI (with AMAO but without AMAI, no AMAO resection). The AMAO protrusion lengths in each direction were measured and compared after all of the ankles were reconstructed.

Robot-assisted percutaneous screw fixation in the treatment of navicular fracture.

Background: Long recovery time, large scar, postoperative swelling and pain are possible side effects of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) for tarsal navicular fractures. Early exercise instruction is made possible by the use of an intraoperative robot-assisted percutaneous invasive closed reduction internal fixation. The goal of the trial was to determine whether percutaneous screw internal fixation with robot assistance might be used to treat navicular fractures.

First metatarsal single-screw minimally invasive chevron-akin osteotomy: A cost effective and clinically reliable technique.

Purpose: The common disease hallux valgus results in foot discomfort and dysfunction. Less soft tissue damage and faster wound healing have made minimally invasive surgery (MIS) more popular. However, little research has compared the fixation results of minimally invasive chevron-akin (MICA) osteotomy thus far.
