Traumatic osseous and soft tissue injuries of the ankle have enjoyed significant attention in the world literature. Technologic advances over the past 3 decades have allowed investigators to develop parallel methods of treatment of surgical approaches to fractures and soft tissue injuries of diarthrodial joints. The result is the art, science, and technology of arthroscopic surgery.

Introduction: In sports, 80% of all ankle injuries are sprains of the external compartment. Functional bandages are usually used preventively, specially in individuals with a history of lateral ankle injuries. To this day, the actual benefits of such taping remain unknown as important modifications are introduced in the ankle biomechanics.

Biostatistics, Faculty of Medicine, Adiyaman University, Adıyaman, Turkey.
Background: There are two main methods used to treat Achilles tendon rupture (ATR): conservative treatment and surgical intervention. Surgical techniques are divided into three main categories: open surgical repair, mini-open surgical repair, and percutaneous repair (PR). We aimed to compare clinical outcomes in individuals with ATR who were treated with PR, primary repair, and flexor hallucis longus augmentation (FHL-A) with those treated with V-Y plasty and FHL-A.

Background: The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a tool to assess the overall health of older adults. There are few reports of CFS and prognosis of ankle fracture. The objective of this study was to determine the predictive power of the CFS for adverse clinical and radiographic outcomes after surgery in elderly patients with trimalleolar fractures.

Department of Orthopedics, Jingzhou Hospital Affiliated to Yangtze University, Jingzhou Hubei, 434020, China.
Background: Although non-surgical and surgical approaches have been developed to repair acute closed Achilles tendon ruptures, the medical community still lacks a definitive consensus on which approach is superior. This study describes a new minimally invasive internal splinting technique combined with knotless anchors for the treatment of 22 patients with acute closed Achilles tendon rupture.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 22 patients with acute closed Achilles tendon rupture who were treated with a minimally invasive internal splinting technique at Jingzhou Hospital of Yangtze University between January 2022 to October 2023.

Department of Orthopaedics, PGIMER, Chandigarh, India.
Case: A 30-year-old man presented with left proximal tibia fracture (open Grade 3A) and a transverse lateral malleolus fracture (Weber B) following direct impact injury. Computed tomography revealed a rare posteromedial tubercle fibula fracture at the posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL) insertion, with syndesmosis disruption. Initial damage control included an external fixator.
