Background: Traumatic hallux valgus is an increasingly common injury in the athletic population and represents a unique variant of turf toe. Failure to appropriately recognize and treat these injuries can lead to continued pain, decreased performance, progressive deformities, and ultimately degeneration of the hallux metatarsophalangeal joint. Limited literature currently exists to assist in the diagnosis, management, and operative treatment.
Methods: Nineteen patients were reviewed in this series, including 12 National Football League, 6 college, and 1 high school player who was a college prospect. The average age for all patients at the time of surgery was 24.4 years (range, 19-33 years). Return to play and complications were evaluated.
Results: Overall, good operative results were obtained, with 74% of patients returning to their preinjury level of play at an average recovery time of 3.4 months.
Conclusion: Traumatic hallux valgus is an increasingly common injury in the athletic population and represents a unique variant of turf toe. The impact of this injury cannot be overstated, as one-quarter of players were unable to return to play.
Level Of Evidence: Level IV, case series.

Minimally-invasive Distal Metatarsal Diaphyseal Osteotomy in the Treatment of Plantar Ulcer in the Diabetic Foot: A Case Report.

The diabetic foot consumes a large number of resources and has a profound negative impact on quality of life, representing the major non-traumatic cause of lower limb amputation in adults. The present report describes a diabetic patient with a recurrent plantar ulcer in the topography of the heads of the second, third, and fourth metatarsals. The patient was treated using the distal metatarsal diaphyseal osteotomy (DMDO) technique in these bones, an Akin-type percutaneous osteotomy in the proximal phalanx of the hallux, and debridement.

Article Synopsis
- - Multi-tissue foot injuries are common in kids, and microsurgery plays a crucial role in their treatment, illustrated by a case of a 4-year-old boy who suffered severe injuries from a lawnmower accident, including the loss of his big toe.
- - The surgical team performed a unique combined free flap repair using muscle-sparing latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior, aiming to restore both function and appearance.
- - Follow-up evaluations at 3 months and 1 year showed excellent recovery, with good scores in aesthetic and functional assessments, indicating that this surgical approach is effective for treating complex foot injuries in children.
Fillet of toe flap coverage for non-traumatic foot amputations: A retrospective review of 70 patients.

Fillet of toe flap (FTF) leverages the "spare parts" algorithm in reconstructive surgery-utilizing tissue from amputated or otherwise non-salvageable body parts, thus avoiding donor-site morbidity. This study assesses the efficacy of FTF coverage in non-traumatic foot amputations. A retrospective review of patients undergoing foot amputation with FTF coverage between January 2013 to August 2023 was conducted.

This review aimed to critically appraise the most recent orthopedic literature around cone beam weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT), summarizing what evidence has been provided so far and identifying the main research trends in the area. This scoping review was performed on studies published between January 2013 and December 2023 on the Pubmed database. All studies (both clinical and nonclinical) in which WBCT had been used were critically analyzed to extract the aim (or aims) of the study, and the main findings related to the role of this imaging modality in the diagnostic pathway.
