Objective: The detrimental effects of cigarette smoking on overall health are well-documented, with nicotine and carbon monoxide contributing to peripheral vasoconstriction and impaired oxygen delivery to tissues. This study reviews the impact of smoking on wound and bone healing, specifically in foot and ankle surgery, given its significant role as a modifiable risk factor for complications in orthopedic procedures.
Materials And Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in May 2024 following PRISMA guidelines.

Ankle arthritis is a severely disabling condition. Treatment poses many unique challenges to orthopaedic surgeons because ankle kinematics differs from that seen in the hip or knee joint and the loads transmitted through the ankle are greater during activity. Historically, motion-sacrificing procedures dominated management of ankle arthritis.

Purpose: Achieving precise postoperative alignment is critical for the long-term success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Long-leg standing radiograph (LLR) at 6 weeks post-op is the gold standard for assessing alignment, but its reliance on weight-bearing and positioning makes it less practical in the early postoperative period. Supine computed tomography scanogram (CTS) offers a potential alternative.

Purpose: Lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is relatively less common than medial UKA. There has been no comparative analysis of the constitutional phenotypes of knees that underwent medial and lateral UKA. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) classification of knees that underwent medial and lateral UKA.

Background: Understanding optimal prosthesis alignment in TKA remains crucial despite ongoing debate. While current research focuses on osteoarthritic knees, a gap exists in characterizing healthy young adult knees in Asians. This study aims to fill this gap by identifying the distribution of CPAK phenotypes in this population, including potential gender variations and individual differences.
