Shoe choice by runners may follow trends related to purported generalised benefits rather than following an individual risk-benefit analysis. The benefits and risks related to minimalist footwear for running has been a much debated topic. The authors report a case of a complete calcaneal stress fracture in an otherwise healthy female recreational runner in the first three weeks following her conversion from a traditional cushioned running shoe to a minimalist type of running shoe. Clinicians should be aware of the potential added bone stress with reduced cushioning and the potential risks in transitioning to new footwear.

Background: Pediatric flexible flatfoot (FFF) is a common condition characterized by the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch, which can lead to pain and functional impairment in a subset of patients. Subtalar arthroereisis (AR) is a minimally invasive procedure that corrects FFF by limiting excessive pronation of the subtalar joint. Two main techniques exist: endosinotarsal AR, which involves placing an implant in the sinus tarsi, and exosinotarsal AR, which uses a screw external to the sinus tarsi.

This case report presents a three-year follow-up of a young male with bilateral hindfoot fractures due to a high-energy road traffic accident, resulting in a comminuted open calcaneal fracture on the left and an open fracture-dislocation of the right talus. Staged reconstruction was performed, including initial debridement, temporary cement spacers, and subsequent fixation with femoral head allografts (FHAs). The right foot underwent a tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) fusion, and the left foot received a double arthrodesis.

Background: Calcaneal slide osteotomies represent a well-established component in the surgical treatment of joint-preserving hind foot corrections. The percutaneous technique aims to minimize the surgical morbidity and maximize surgical efficiency. There is a consensus that percutaneous calcaneal sliding osteotomy (PCSO), using a low-speed and hightorque burr, is generally performed in four steps corresponding to the four quadrants of the cross-section of the calcaneal tuber.

Background: Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures are a complication-ridden injury to treat and there are various treatment techniques to address this injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid-term outcome of a percutaneous two-point distractor technique in patients with displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
Methods: A retrospective data analysis of patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures treated in a level 1 trauma center was conducted.
