There is a lack of consensus in the use of
open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) vs primary arthrodesis (PA)
in the management of Lisfranc injuries. Statistical fragility
represents the number of events needed to flip statistical
significance and provides context to
interpret P values of outcomes from...

Type C3 distal tibial plafond fractures
consistently show poor outcomes with high complication rates and
significant risk of posttraumatic arthritis. We describe a
minimally invasive technique of performing a primary ankle fusion
using an anterograde tibial nail and compare our early results to
traditional methods of...

Postoperative care protocols for ankle
fracture surgery remain controversial with variability among care
providers. This prospective controlled trial compared 12-week
postoperative outcomes for immediate unprotected weightbearing
(IMWB) vs nonweightbearing (NWB) for 2 weeks in a splint followed
by weightbearing as...

Evidence from prospective short-term studies
suggest that proximal medial gastrocnemius recession is a safe and
efficient procedure to treat chronic plantar fasciitis resistant to
nonoperative treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
long-term clinical outcomes of proximal medial gastrocnemius
recession and...

Hallux interphalangeal joint arthrodesis
(HIPJA) is indicated for a variety of pathologies. Despite high
nonunion rates, techniques remain unchanged. The aim of this study
is to examine nonunion and complication rates and describe risk
factors for treatment failure.
In conclusion, our cohort represents the
largest...
