A man in his early 70s with right Takakura stage IIIB varus ankle osteoarthritis underwent medial opening wedge supramalleolar osteotomy with inframalleolar correction as joint preserving procedure. We also performed anteroinferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) resection with fibular shortening valgisation osteotomy to enhance the talar tilt correction. Postoperative decrease in talar tilt with dramatic symptom improvement was achieved. Performing the AITFL resection with fibular shortening valgisation osteotomy plus concomitant supramalleolar osteotomy and inframalleolar correction for Takakura stage IIIB varus ankle osteoarthritis resulted in successful improvement in talar tilt by making room for the valgus deviation of the talus.

Correction Target of Supramalleolar Osteotomy for Early Varus Ankle Arthritis: Is Overcorrection Necessary?
Foot Ankle Int
December 2024
Seoul Foot and Ankle Center, Dubalo Orthopaedic Clinic, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiologic outcomes following supramalleolar osteotomy for early varus ankle arthritis with the medial translation of the talus, wherein the lateral translation of the talus center to the tibial axis was used as a correction target. Another aim was to compare the results between the ankles with a normal range of medial distal tibial angle (MDTA) and overcorrected MDTA at the postoperative period to investigate the role of overcorrected MDTA after the supramalleolar osteotomy.
Methods: The study comprised 90 patients (93 ankles) with Takakura stage 2 or 3a varus ankle arthritis with the medial translation of the talus, which underwent medial opening supramalleolar osteotomy with fibular osteotomy, and the mean duration of follow-up was 50.
Total Knee Arthroplasty in Patients With Ankle Osteoarthritis Affects Contralateral Ankle Alignment and Postoperative Outcome of Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Background: This study investigated the impact of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on the alignment of the ankle joint, focusing on changes in coronal alignment of both ankles.
Methods: This retrospective study, conducted at our hospital, included 64 patients older than 70 years who underwent TKA for varus knee osteoarthritis (OA). Using full-length standing radiographs of both lower extremities taken preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively, we assessed ankle OA grading based on the Takakura-Tanaka classification and measured mechanical hip-knee-ankle (mHKA) and the tibiotalar angle (TTA) on both the surgical and contralateral side.
Imaging evaluation of extraarticular posterior loose bodies in varus ankle osteoarthritis.

Multiple loose bodies (LBs) are often found in patients with varus ankle osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of extra-articular posterior ankle LBs in patients with varus ankle OA. We also sought to determine whether there were variations in the characteristics of LBs according to the degree of ankle OA.

Advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) has an extremely poor prognosis, partly explained by the rarity and diagnostic difficulty, for which the most appropriate treatment strategy has not been established. In this report, we discuss a case of unresectable advanced esophagogastric junction NEC, which was difficult to diagnose, that has achieved relatively long-term survival with multidisciplinary treatment centered on nivolumab. A man in his 60s was initially diagnosed with an advanced esophagogastric junction squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama, Japan;
Background/aim: Malignant melanoma is a tumor with a poor prognosis that can metastasize distally at an early stage. Terrein, a metabolite produced by Aspergillus terreus, suppresses the expression of angiogenin, an angiogenic factor. However, the pharmacological effects of natural terrein have not been elucidated, because only a small amount of terrein can be extracted from large fungal cultures.
