Ankle cheilectomy as surgical treatment for anterior ankle impingement has high rates of procedural success and low rates of complications when performed before the onset of significant osteoarthritis. We present 3 patients who developed insufficiency fractures of the talar neck following cheilectomy for anterior ankle impingement. Due to the high risk of avascular necrosis associated with displaced talar neck fractures, the recognition of talar insufficiency fractures by the radiologist can aid in the timely diagnosis and initiation of intervention. Because radiographic findings of stress fractures often require weeks to manifest, maintaining a high index of suspicion in the postcheilectomy setting allows the radiologist to suggest appropriate further imaging when appropriate.

Usefulness of Suture-Tape Augmentation Based on Intraoperative Ankle Stress Radiographs During Anatomical Ligament Repair for Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability.

Background: During the modified Broström procedure for chronic ankle instability, surgeons often experience cases with insufficiently restored mechanical stability even after anatomical ligament repair. In these cases, longer postoperative immobilization and delayed rehabilitation can be required, and a risk for recurrence of instability may persist. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of suture-tape augmentation based on intraoperative stress radiographs during anatomical ligament repair for chronic ankle instability.

Background: The etiology of medial-sided talar osteochondral lesions (OCLs) remains insufficiently understood.
Purpose: To identify anatomical risk factors contributing to the development of unilateral or bilateral OCL of the talus on the medial side, utilizing morphological parameters derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Material And Methods: In this retrospective study, 24 ankle MRI scans from 12 patients exhibiting bilateral OCLs of the talar dome on the medial side, 24 ankle MRIs from 24 patients with unilateral medial-sided OCLs, and 24 healthy controls matched for age, sex, and side within each group were analyzed.

Background: Solely relying on the tibial ankle surface (TAS) angle for determining the mechanical ankle axis might be insufficient. We introduce a novel method to determine the distance from the center of the talus to the tibial axis (TTD). This study aimed to investigate the association between clinical outcomes and radiological changes before and after supramalleolar osteotomy (SMO), including TAS angle, talar tilt (TT) angle, tibiotalar surface (TTS) angle and TTD.

Objective: Pes planovalgus is the most common foot deformity seen in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). There are several different treatment modalities to treat this condition. Single or double calcaneal osteotomies, extra-articular arthrodesis, calcaneo-cuboido-cuneiform osteotomy, intraarticular arthrodesis, and arthroereisis are some of these modalities.

Arthroscopic techniques for anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) reconstruction have been developed in recent years. Allograft tendons are often used in ATFL reconstruction, and surgical indications include an insufficiently strong ligament remnant, high-demand activities, repeated ankle sprains, and revision cases. We describe a socket-anchor technique for talar tunnel creation: A 10-mm-deep bone tunnel (socket) is created along a previously located guidewire at the ATFL talar footprint; an absorbable suture anchor is inserted into the end of the socket; and the graft is tied to the suture, pulled into the socket, and finally, secured using an arthroscopic knot pusher.
