Published: July 2023

Alongside advances and trends in foot and ankle surgery, arthroscopy provides a minimally invasive option in exploring and addressing pain after total ankle replacement (TAR). It is not uncommon for patients to develop pain months or even years after TAR implantation for both fixed and mobile-bearing designs. Arthroscopic debridement of gutter pain can provide successful outcomes in the hands of the experienced arthroscopist. Surgeon preference and experience will dictate the threshold for intervention, approach, and tool selection. This article provides a brief look into the background, indications, technique, limitations, and outcomes for arthroscopy after TAR.

Sports Medicine Center, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610041, China; Department of Orthopedics and Orthopedic Research Institute, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610041, China. Electronic address:

Purpose: To investigate the effect of concomitant chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) on postoperative clinical outcomes in patients with osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs).

Methods: Patients who underwent surgery for OLTs between January 2018 and May 2022 were retrospectively evaluated. OLT procedures involved debridement, microfracture, or bone grafting, while concomitant CLAI underwent lateral ligament repair or reconstruction.

Background: People with patellofemoral pain (PFP) may have bilateral deficits in hop for distance test (SLHD) performance, whereas the worsening performance of the pain-free or less painful limbs suggests that bilateral movement differences may occur. While clinicians may not be aware of bilateral movement differences that may be employed during the clinical assessment of SLHD performance (e.g.

Purpose: Achieving precise postoperative alignment is critical for the long-term success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Long-leg standing radiograph (LLR) at 6 weeks post-op is the gold standard for assessing alignment, but its reliance on weight-bearing and positioning makes it less practical in the early postoperative period. Supine computed tomography scanogram (CTS) offers a potential alternative.

Indole derivatives and their associated microbial genera are associated with the 1-year changes in cardiometabolic risk markers in Chinese adults.

Nutr J

December 2024

Department of Nutrition, Center for Big Data and Population Health of IHM, School of Public Health, Anhui Medical University, Hefei, Anhui, China.

Background: Although emerging evidence suggests that indole derivatives, microbial metabolites of tryptophan, may improve cardiometabolic health, the effective metabolites remain unclear. Also, the gut microbiota that involved in producing indole derivatives are less studied. We identified microbial taxa that can predict serum concentrations of the key indole metabolite indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) at population level and investigated the associations of indole derivatives and IPA-predicting microbial genera with cardiometabolic risk markers.

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery (Harrer, Hedden, Gentile, Gealt, and Brown), Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Cooper University Health Care, and the Cooper University Health Care (Mikaeili and Bazrafshan), Camden, NJ.

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has revolutionized musculoskeletal care. However, its high costs and high utilization has prompted many insurance payors to require a prior authorization. This process remains burdensome and results in delays to patient care.
