FAI May 2019 Podcast: Postoperative Medial Cuneiform Position Correlation With Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Cotton Osteotomy for Reconstruction of the Stage II Adult-Acquired Flatfoot Deformity

Residual supination of the midfoot during reconstruction of the stage II adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) is often addressed with a medial cuneiform (Cotton) osteotomy after adequate correction of the hindfoot valgus deformity. The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a correlation between postoperative alignment of the medial cuneiform and patient-reported outcomes.

Our study suggests that the surgeon should avoid excessive plantarflexion of the medial cuneiform and use the Cotton osteotomy judiciously as part of a flatfoot reconstruction for stage II AAFD.

FAI April 2019 Podcast: Supination External Rotational Ankle Fracture Injury Pattern Correlation With Regional Bone Density

Rotational ankle fractures can present with an array of possible osseous and ligamentous injury combinations in reliable anatomic locations. What accounts for these different injury patterns and whether specific patient and injury factors underlie the different injury patterns is unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether causative factors exist that could account for the various injury patterns seen with rotational ankle fractures.

In our cohort of SER IV ankle fractures, regional bone density at the ankle significantly correlated with the presence and number of malleolar fractures compared with ligamentous ruptures. Treating surgeons can use this information to anticipate bone quality during operative fixation based on ankle fracture injury pattern. In addition, the presence of a trimalleolar ankle fracture was a significant indicator of poor bone quality and may represent the first clinical sign of abnormal bone metabolism in many patients.
