It has been suggested that tarsal arthritis with ankylosis may be characteristic of late onset Still's disease. In our study 16 of 88 (18%) patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) and 22 of 97 (23%) patients with adult RA had radiographic findings of tarsal joint ankylosis. In our patients, tarsal bony fusion was not related to type of disease onset, age of onset or sex; rather it was related to a longer duration of disease. Tarsal ankylosis should not be regarded as a special feature of Still's disease since it can also be seen in adult RA.

Transarticular external skeletal fixation (TESF) is repeatedly used for temporary stabilisation of tarsal joint in cats. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the use of temporary modified type II TESF for management of talocrural instability (TCI) in cats without joint arthrodesis and to rate short-term outcomes and complications. Medical records of all cats treated for TCI between January 2012 and December 2021 were reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- Tarsal joint abnormalities, including calcaneal displacement and inflammation, were observed in aging male C57BL/6J mice, with a 1% occurrence rate starting around 20 weeks of age.
- *The study evaluated physical and behavioral changes in affected mice, revealing higher frailty scores, reduced body weight, and altered weight distribution, indicating pain-related sensitivity.
- *Morphine treatment seemed to alleviate pain symptoms, causing affected mice to perform similarly to unaffected ones, underscoring the need for further research on inbred mouse strains in disease studies.*

Epineural neurorrhaphy is a standard nerve repair method, but it is rarely reported in veterinary literature. Epineural neurorrhaphy in canine sciatic nerve injury are described in this report. An 11-month-old, castrated male Maltese dog, presented with an one-month history of non-weight bearing lameness and knuckling of the right pelvic limb.

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group that includes a wide spectrum of clinically similar diseases manifested by oligoarticular arthritis and axial or peripheral ankylosis. Although axial SpA is predominant in Caucasians and adult-onset patients, juvenile-onset and Latin American patients are characterized by severe peripheral arthritis and particularly foot involvement. The peripheral involvement of SpA can vary from tarsal arthritis to the most severe form named ankylosing tarsitis (AT).
