Purpose: To correlate ankle and foot fracture patterns with the presence of tenosynovial fat on computed tomography (CT).
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective, cross-sectional, observation study, two blinded musculoskeletal radiologists independently reviewed 89 CT scans of patients with ankle or foot fractures and recorded the presence of fat about Henry's knot, tibialis posterior tendon, and peroneus longus tendon.
Results: The agreement between the two readers ranged from excellent to substantial. Sixteen to 23 percent of fractures were associated with tenosynovial fat.
Conclusions: The finding of tenosynovial fat following ankle or foot trauma warrants a closer search for a fracture.

Implementation of a clinical pathway for diabetes-related foot ulcers reduced the number of amputations and shortened hospital stay.

Introduction: Diabetes-related foot ulcer (DFU) is the leading cause for lower extremity amputations (LEAs) in western countries, and may cause social isolation, depression, and death. However, people with DFU are not offered the same prioritized care as cancer patients, despite comparable mortality rates. We therefore decided to create a clinical pathway for patients with DFU.

Our quality improvement initiative aimed to reduce emergency department (ED) visits within 30 days postsurgery by enhancing preoperative education.
Methods: We focused on four outcomes associated with receipt of written preoperative information: (1) related ED visits within 30 days of surgery, (2) average number of patient portal messages, (3) phone calls initiated by patients, and (4) staff team experience survey results.
The effect of sciatic nerve block on sciatic nerve depth and pain level in patients with ankle fracture based on different approaches under ultrasound guidance.

To investigate the clinical efficacy of using different approach sciatic nerve blocks on the sciatic nerve depth and pain degree in patients with ankle fracture. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 151 patients with ankle fractures who were admitted to the hospital from May 2020 to May 2023. The patients were divided into a control group (n=76) using the greater trochanteric plane approach (GTA) and an observation group (n=75) using the suprapopliteal approach (PA).

Increased use of arthroscopically assisted techniques for the treatment of ankle fractures has been reported. Despite their rapid development, there is only one systematic review regarding arthroscopically assisted treatment of ankle fractures, in which, however, only malleolar fracture studies are included. Various other types of ankle fractures have also been treated with arthroscopically assisted procedures.
