Anterior ankle impingement is a common clinical condition characterized by chronic anterior ankle pain that is exacerbated on dorsiflexion. Additional symptoms include instability; limited ankle motion; and pain with squatting, sprinting, stair climbing, and hill climbing. Diagnosis is typically confirmed with plain radiographs. Nonsurgical management includes physical therapy, strengthening exercises, activity modification, bracing, and anti-inflammatory medication. Although arthroscopic treatment is sufficient in some patients, most require an open approach to address related pathology. We advocate aggressive range of motion as well as weight bearing postoperatively. Further study is needed to confirm current understanding of anterior ankle impingement and to better define treatment options and prevention strategies.

Article Synopsis
- The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is the most commonly injured ligament in ankle sprains, with many patients recovering conservatively but a significant portion developing chronic instability requiring surgery.
- A study involving healthy volunteers and patients with sprained ankles used 3D MRI to create anatomical models of the ATFL and evaluated the feasibility and image quality of these models for better understanding of injuries and surgical planning.
- Results showed high image quality scores for the 3D models, indicating that 3D MRI can accurately represent ATFL anatomy, which could enhance preoperative strategy and improve diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Introduction: During 280 years of studies of the anatomy of the distal tibiofibular articulation, there have arisen many unclear issues regarding the description of individual structures and their terminology. These historical inaccuracies were subsequently reflected in the clinical practice.
Materials And Methods: A literature search of original publications and historical sources was performed.
Exoskeleton gait training on real-world terrain improves spatiotemporal performance in cerebral palsy.

Introduction: Walking is essential for daily life but poses a significant challenge for many individuals with neurological conditions like cerebral palsy (CP), which is the leading cause of childhood walking disability. Although lower-limb exoskeletons show promise in improving walking ability in laboratory and controlled overground settings, it remains unknown whether these benefits translate to real-world environments, where they could have the greatest impact.
Methods: This feasibility study evaluated whether an untethered ankle exoskeleton with an adaptable controller can improve spatiotemporal outcomes in eight individuals with CP after low-frequency exoskeleton-assisted gait training on real-world terrain.
