Over the last two decades there is a growing interest in the adult literature for subtalar joint arthroereisis. Parallel to this interest, there have been improvements in the design and biomechanics of the implant, although the main indication of subtalar joint arthroereisis in adults is not clear. Most studies show significant improvement in postoperative clinical scores and visual analog scores. Sinus tarsi pain, being the most common complication, is the main determinant of clinical satisfaction. This review focuses on the role and complications of subtalar joint arthroereisis in the adult population.

Purpose: To investigate the treatment outcomes of subtalar arthroereisis (SA) in progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) patients, to assess the clinical efficacy in PCFD patients after HyProCure removal, and to evaluate safety and effectiveness of SA.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 202 cases (213 feet) of PCFD patients treated with SA from June 2015 to December 2022 were selected. General data and surgical information were recorded, and clinical efficacy was evaluated through imaging and clinical indicators.

Purpose: To describe foot abnormalities in proximal femoral focal deficiency and their correlation to the severity.

Methods: Eighty-nine extremities in 87 patients were evaluated between 1996 and 2020 clinically and radiologically. Fibula length, ankle shape, tarsal coalitions, and the number of foot rays were recorded.

Background: Limited joint mobility is the proven risk factor for diabetic foot ulceration when present in the subtalar and first metatarsophalangeal joints. Evidence shows that a foot-related exercise program, combined with a health-promoting program, can improve the signs and symptoms of diabetic polyneuropathy, enhance gait, restore mobility in the foot and ankle joints, redistribute pressure while walking, and increase foot strength and function. As a result, these exercise programs can help mitigate the risk factors for diabetic foot ulceration.

Objective: The purposes of this study were to assess the clinical characteristics of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) who fulfill the ClASsification criteria for Psoriatic ARthritis (CASPAR) 18 years after disease onset in a population-based setting and to identify features likely to predict psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Methods: Patients with JIA from defined geographic regions of Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden with disease onset from 1997 to 2000 were enrolled prospectively and followed up for 18 years. Clinical, laboratory, and heredity data for psoriasis were collected.

Background And Purpose:  Our primary aim was to compare the early complication rate (< 6 weeks postoperatively) after open or arthroscopic fusion of the subtalar joint. Secondary outcomes included late complications (> 6 weeks postoperatively), function, pain, and patient satisfaction.

Methods:  In this prospective randomized controlled trial, patients listed for subtalar joint fusion were included and randomized for open or arthroscopic fusion.
