AI Article Synopsis
- Bony alignment is crucial in foot and ankle reconstruction for cavovarus foot, which results in misalignment causing uneven stress on the ankle and foot.
- This condition leads to pain and joint degeneration, making walking difficult and potentially resulting in chronic stiffness.
- In severe cases, surgical fusion (arthrodesis) of the affected joints may be needed to relieve pain and restore function.
Article Abstract
Bony alignment is the primary goal in foot and ankle reconstruction of the cavovarus foot. This condition presents as a malalignment causing a medial overload of the ankle articular surface and lateral overload of the hindfoot, midfoot, and forefoot. A painful gait associated with articular degeneration of the numerous joints can lead to a chronic and rigid arthrosis of joints, warranting arthrodesis of the affected joints accordingly.

Designing and additive manufacturing of talus implant for post-traumatic talus avascular necrosis: a case study.
J Orthop Surg Res
August 2024
A.B. Nalbandyan Institute of Chemical Physics NAS RA, Yerevan, Armenia.
New technologies in additive manufacturing and patient-specific CT-based custom implant designs make it possible for previously unimaginable salvage and limb-sparing operations a practical reality. This study presents the design and fabrication of a lattice-structured implant for talus replacement surgery. Our primary case involved a young adult patient who had sustained severe damage to the talus, resulting in avascular necrosis and subsequent bone collapse.

Article Synopsis
- Talar neck non-unions are rare but can cause severe foot deformity, and the best surgical options are still being researched, including techniques like ORIF with bone grafting and ankle fusion.
- A study included 8 patients, evaluating clinical outcomes after they underwent ORIF with bone grafting, with some also receiving additional procedures for better results.
- Most patients showed significant improvement in healing and functional scores after surgery, though some faced complications, indicating a need for more extensive studies to confirm long-term success.

No consensus exists regarding operative treatment of Müller-Weiss disease (MWD). Its only classification is based solely on Méary's angle and serves neither as guide to management nor prognosis. We report on 33 feet that underwent surgery following failed conservative management.

Background: Extruded talus (ET) injuries are rare, but high-energy open pantalar dislocations. Literature on these injuries is sparse and optimal treatment protocols are ill defined. The current study documents the clinical and radiological outcomes in cases seen at 2 centers, in an attempt to determine whether surgeons should choose primary reimplantation or primary talectomy and fusion for these injuries.
