Posttraumatic malalignment after talar neck fractures invariably leads to painful functional impairment. Anatomic reduction and definitive, stable osteosynthesis at the primary surgical intervention is preventative. Secondary anatomic reconstruction with joint preservation should be considered in the absence of arthrosis in the peritalar articulations. Reorientating arthrodeses should be entertained where deformity has resulted in joint incongruity and, ultimately, posttraumatic arthritis. TAA may have a role as a motion-conserving procedure in combination with adjacent subtalar and midtarsal fusions.

Single-Incision Peroneal Tendon Repair With Concomitant Modified Dwyer Calcaneal Osteotomy: Report of 15 Cases With Plate Fixation.

Gundersen Clinic, Lacrosse, WI, USA.
Background: Addressing hindfoot varus via calcaneal osteotomy with simultaneous peroneal tendon repair from a single incision has not been thoroughly assessed. Some concerns with one incision are wound complications, nerve damage, and symptomatic hardware.
Methods: Patients operated on by one surgeon May 2012 to January 2022 were retrospectively reviewed with minimum 2-year follow-up via in-person visit, telephone, and chart review.

Background: Calcaneal slide osteotomies represent a well-established component in the surgical treatment of joint-preserving hind foot corrections. The percutaneous technique aims to minimize the surgical morbidity and maximize surgical efficiency. There is a consensus that percutaneous calcaneal sliding osteotomy (PCSO), using a low-speed and hightorque burr, is generally performed in four steps corresponding to the four quadrants of the cross-section of the calcaneal tuber.

Background: Structural malalignments, such as talar malalignments and hindfoot varus, are hypothesized to contribute to early ankle joint degeneration by altering joint contact force (JCF). These malalignments, common in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI), can modify the articular geometry of the ankle joint, potentially leading to abnormal joint loading patterns. This study leverages musculoskeletal modeling and simulation to conceptualize the effects of increasing severity of these malalignments on ankle JCF during walking.

Supramalleolar osteotomy (SMO) aims to correct extra-articular deformities of the distal lower leg. There are several indications, the most common being varus osteoarthritis of the ankle. The rationale in this indication is to modify talocrural stress and pressure distribution by reorienting the limb axis.

The perceived association between foot type and injury risk has inspired the development of many foot typing methods. The purpose of this study was to determine how well different foot typing methods explained variations in regional foot loading in asymptomatic adults during gait, while considering age, sex, and walking speed as covariates. Six methods were used to determine foot type in 92 asymptomatic adults.
