AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: The supination line is a fictive line along the foot and ankle, on which over twenty fracture types and approximately ten different ligamentous sprain-injuries have been identified.
Objective: The current study was conducted to evaluate the incidence of different types of supination line injuries visible at the initial radiographs at the Emergency Department and to determine the type and percentage of misdiagnosed injuries.
Method: Retrospective study of consecutive patients who visited the Emergency Department, between January 1 and June 30, 2009, after sustaining an injury of the foot or ankle and had a radiograph taken within 24 h of the incident.
Results: In the 6-month study period 1284 patients were included. In these cases the trauma mechanism was a sprain in 780 patients (60.7%). Of these patients 310 suffered from a fracture (40%). There were 36 (4.6%) false-positive cases and in 91 (11.7%) cases the initial diagnosis was false-negative. The number with a missed fracture expressed as a percentage of all patients with a fracture was 29.4% (91/310).
Conclusion: Detection of injuries along the supination line remains difficult. This study might aid in decreasing the number of misdiagnosed injuries, which is of value as these might negatively affect outcome.

Objective: To explore clinical efficacy of congenital brachymetatarsia with immediate metatarsal lengthening.
Methods: From March 2015 to December 2020, 7 patients with brachymetatarsia were treated, including 6 females and 1 male;aged range from 18 to 30 years old;there were 5 patients with metatarsal microsomia on one foot, 2 patients with metatarsal microsomia on the first and fourth right foot, and immediate extension of metatarsal microsomia on the first and fourth right foot;two patients were short metatarsal bones of both feet. The length of short metatarsal bone, length of normal metatarsal bone, distance of short metatarsal bone and healing of bone graft were observed before and 12 months after operation.
Comparing Patient Communication Event Demand for External Ring Fixators to Other Common Foot and Ankle Orthopaedic Procedures: A Retrospective Study.

From the Department of Orthopedics, The University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix, Phoenix, AZ (Ms. Kisiel, Mr. Logan-Baca, Mr. Reyes, Mr. Henderson); and the OrthoArizona, Scottsdale, AZ (Dr. Jaffe).
Background: Surgeons may hesitate to apply external ring fixators (ERFs) due to perceived high clinical burden. This study aims to quantify the relative demand of ERFs compared with other common foot and ankle procedures. Understanding the demand of ERFs can provide insights into postoperative experiences, potentially decreasing intimidation of their use.

Abstract: Despite the increasing utilization of total ankle replacement (TAR) for end-stage ankle arthritis, there remains a paucity of long-term follow-up data comparing arthroplasty to arthrodesis. The aim of the current paper was to provide the long-term clinical outcomes of TAR and ankle arthrodesis (AA), measured with use of validated scoring instruments, in a prospective multicenter cohort of patients with ankle arthritis. This cohort from the Canadian Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (COFAS) Prospective Ankle Reconstruction Database comprised patients who underwent TAR or AA between 2001 and 2007.

Aims: This study presents clinical outcomes, functional results, and return to sports after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using quadruple hamstring tendon autograft or peroneus longus tendon autograft in a randomized controlled trial.
Patients And Methods: Between February 2018 and July 2019, patients who underwent ACL reconstruction were randomly assigned to two groups: hamstring and peroneus longus. Patient related outcome measurements and pain intensity were evaluated using IKDC, Lysholm, and visual analog scores at 3 and 6 months, 1, 2, and 5 years after the surgery.
