Salvage of a failed hindfoot arthrodesis is an extensive undertaking for the surgeon and patient. With increased morbidity and postoperative convalescence and complications, patients must understand the risk involved in this type of revisional surgery. This article provides a systematic approach to revisional hindfoot arthrodeses, focusing on patient evaluation, surgical technique, and postoperative treatment.

Article Synopsis
- * It found that dislocation pattern patients had higher rates of broken hardware, older average age, and a greater need for revisional surgery compared to those with pure fracture patterns.
- * The research also highlighted that patients with pure fracture patterns were much more likely to have issues with a specific joint called the talonavicular, while those with dislocation patterns faced more complications like osteomyelitis and residual collapse.

Fractures of the calcaneus are severe injuries of the hindfoot, mostly resulting from high-energy axial loads, which still present enormous challenges to modern trauma surgery. Possible variables influencing the outcome are the type of fracture, age, and quality of fracture reduction. These might also be factors affecting the self-reported patient outcome, but large studies are still lacking.

Background: Staple sutures have already been proven as a good alternative to nylon sutures for wound closure in hip and knee surgeries. One such advantage to using staple sutures is the significant decrease in surgical time. In foot surgeries, staple sutures are still considered critical and are only used sporadically.

Methods: The first 30 cases by a single surgeon were reviewed at two intervals.
Introduction: Insertional Achilles tendinopathy is a problem frequently encountered by the foot and ankle surgeon. Conservative care yields mixed results, and this condition is often treated surgically. Our hypothesis is that the suture bridge technique through a central posterior incision allows adequate visualization for thorough debridement and exostectomy and provides a stable tendon-to-bone interface for healing.
