Posterior subtalar dislocation is an exceedingly rare entity. Clinically, the appearance of the foot can simulate a complex fracture dislocation. It is important to recognize that not all posterior subtalar dislocations are true posterior dislocations. We report a true posterior subtalar dislocation in a 34-year-old female, managed promptly with closed reduction and resulting in an excellent functional outcome. A chronic dislocation or an irreducible dislocation may need open reduction.

Background: Hindfoot endoscopy is an effective treatment for posterior ankle impingement syndrome (PAIS) and flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon disorders. However, FHL tendoscopy, especially from the posteromedial portal, carries a risk of tibial nerve damage. A needle-arthroscopic system with a 1.

Background: An all-inside endoscopic flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer is indicated for the treatment of chronic, full-thickness Achilles tendon defects. The aim of this procedure is to restore function of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex while avoiding the wound complications associated with open procedures.
Description: This procedure can be performed through 2 endoscopic portals, a posteromedial portal (the working portal) and a posterolateral portal (the visualization portal).
Subtalar Arthroereisis for Symptomatic Flexible Flatfoot in Adolescents: A Prospective Study of 26 Feet.

Department of Special Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Jordan University of Science and Technology, Irbid, Jordan.
Background: Flexible flatfoot is a normal finding in infants and the arch is shaped spontaneously in most children before the age of 10 years. Flexible flatfoot is a common deformity in both adolescent and adult populations.
Objective: This prospective study aims to assess the functional and radiological outcomes of subtalar arthroereisis in adolescent patients with symptomatic flexible flatfoot.
Comparative Analysis of Structural Differences in Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity With and Without Hallux Valgus.

Division of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines differences in foot deformities, specifically Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD) with and without Hallux Valgus (HV), using weightbearing computed tomography in patients aged 18 and over.
- Findings show that PCFD with HV exhibits greater angles and pronation at key joints compared to PCFD without HV, indicating significant structural variations.
- The results highlight important associations between HV deformity and specific foot angles, suggesting a need for targeted clinical assessment and treatment based on these deformities.
Impact of dorsal closing wedge calcaneal osteotomy on hindfoot alignment and biomechanics of patients with insertional achilles tendinopathy; A weightbearing CT-based simulation study.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how dorsal closing wedge calcaneal osteotomy (DCWCO) influences hindfoot alignment and the power of the gastrocnemius-soleus (G-S) muscle complex in patients with insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT).
- Using CT scans of six patients, researchers created various foot models to analyze the biomechanics of different osteotomy placements (anterior vs. posterior) and resulted in 42-foot models.
- Findings suggest that the anterior osteotomy significantly impacts foot alignment and reduces the Böhler angle, while the posterior osteotomy leads to greater decompression of the Achilles tendon.
