This report presents a case of deep peroneal nerve palsy caused by an injury during drilling for distal locking screws of a T-shaped locking plate used for osteosynthesis of medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy. A cadaveric simulation study reproduced the risk of injury during the surgery.

Background: Recent literature indicates that COVID-19 infection is a negative predictor of good outcomes following elective orthopedic surgery. However, the ideal timing of surgery after infection is unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the rates of post-operative complications between those who underwent elective orthopedic surgery <50 days and >50 days after COVID-19 infection.

Purpose: The surgical approach for midfoot injuries classically requires dual dorsal incision and identification of the neurovascular structures that are susceptible to injury during the surgery. The aim of this study was to map the topographic anatomy of the dorsum of the foot along with tarsal joints for the dorsal approach of midfoot surgery that would facilitate the surgery and minimize the risk of neurovascular injuries for surgeons who specially focus on foot and ankle injuries.
Methods: The dorsum of the foot was evaluated in 12 feet injected with latex containing a red colorant to visualize the arterial vessels.

Objective: Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and places patients at risk for subsequent peripheral vascular emboli. Our goals were to analyze the incidence of peripheral emboli and their associated complications and outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective single-center review of all patients with IE from 2013-2021 was performed.

Background: Addressing hindfoot varus via calcaneal osteotomy with simultaneous peroneal tendon repair from a single incision has not been thoroughly assessed. Some concerns with one incision are wound complications, nerve damage, and symptomatic hardware.
Methods: Patients operated on by one surgeon May 2012 to January 2022 were retrospectively reviewed with minimum 2-year follow-up via in-person visit, telephone, and chart review.
