The current article provides an algorithm of how to approach crippled ankle by ankle arthrodesis. There is no standard pathology or treatment present, which makes the diagnosis but also surgical correction complex. A surgeon who faces this kind of deformities needs to be skilled and well familiar with the full setting of the foot and ankle armamentarium.

Abstract: Despite the increasing utilization of total ankle replacement (TAR) for end-stage ankle arthritis, there remains a paucity of long-term follow-up data comparing arthroplasty to arthrodesis. The aim of the current paper was to provide the long-term clinical outcomes of TAR and ankle arthrodesis (AA), measured with use of validated scoring instruments, in a prospective multicenter cohort of patients with ankle arthritis. This cohort from the Canadian Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (COFAS) Prospective Ankle Reconstruction Database comprised patients who underwent TAR or AA between 2001 and 2007.

Introduction: First metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint fusion is a widely accepted surgical intervention for treating severe arthritis, deformities, and instability of the first MTP joint. This paper provides a review of a single surgeon's experience with continuous compression implants (CCI), which offer a notable advantage by providing uniform compression across a larger surface area of the fusion site compared to plate and screw constructs. This design potentially reduces soft tissue irritation and, consequently, the need for subsequent implant removal.
