• Return to Sport and Return to Self-Reported Preinjury Level After Surgical Repair of Acute Achilles Tendon Rupture: A 2-Year Prospective Cohort Analysis 15 Set, 2026
  Background: Achilles tendon ruptures are among the most common sports injuries. The literature reports highly variable "return to sport" (RTS) rates depending on the study, as the definition of return to play is not consistent. Our purpose was to assess RTS and self-reported relative performance level after surgical management of acute Achilles tendon ruptures. Method: […]

• Intramedullary Nailing Versus Plate Fixation for AO/OTA Types 43A and 43B Distal Tibial Fractures: Early Pain Trajectories, 3-Month Ankle Function, and Return to Work in a Retrospective Cohort 15 Set, 2026
  Background/Objectives: Intramedullary nailing (IMN) and plate fixation are established treatments for distal tibial fractures, but differences in early pain, occupational recovery, and short-term function remain uncertain in routine practice. This study examined associations between fixation strategy and early recovery profiles and described union-related complications, fixation failure, and reoperation in AO/OTA 43A-B distal tibial fractures. Methods: […]

• Radiological and Clinical Evaluation of the Ipsilateral Ankle of Patients Who Underwent Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Study 15 Set, 2026
  Background/Objectives: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) corrects coronal malalignment at the knee, but its effect on the structural status of the ipsilateral ankle is poorly characterised. This prospective study evaluated clinical, radiographic, and MRI-detected changes in the ipsilateral ankle after TKA, and tested whether such changes are related to the magnitude of mechanical axis correction. Methods: […]

• Early Experience With Defensive Antibacterial Coating (DAC®) Hydrogel in High-Risk Orthopaedic Implant Surgery 14 Set, 2026
  BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) after hip and knee arthroplasty and osteosynthesis-associated infections (OAIs) after fracture fixation remain major clinical and economic burdens. High-risk patients with advanced age, multiple comorbidities, and socioeconomic deprivation are particularly vulnerable. Defensive Antibacterial Coating (DAC®) hydrogel (Novagenit S.r.l., Mezzolombardo, Italy) is a fully resorbable hyaluronic acid/poly-D,L-lactide coating that reduces early […]

• High Accuracy, Questionable References: Large Language Models' Performance and Citation Reliability in Foot and Ankle Surgery Examinations 13 Set, 2026
  CONCLUSION: ChatGPT‑5.4 showed the highest accuracy on foot and ankle SAE questions, with diminished image-related performance gaps relative to prior generations, but also the highest rate of reference fabrication. All models produced fabricated citations, underscoring the need to verify AI-generated references and to use LLMs as adjunct rather than primary educational tools in foot and […]

• Corticosteroid Injection Practices of Australian Podiatrists for Common Foot and Ankle Conditions 12 Set, 2026
  CONCLUSION: Australian podiatrists and podiatric surgeons reported consistency in some corticosteroid injection practices and variability in others. These findings provide an initial descriptive benchmark of corticosteroid injection practice in Australian podiatry and may inform future clinical guidelines and research.

• Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation of the Combined Effects of Physical Therapy and Exercise Therapy in the Rehabilitation of Sports Injuries 12 Set, 2026
  Sports injuries are common among athletes and recreationally active individuals, and rehabilitation outcomes influence functional recovery and the risk of re-injury. Physical therapy and exercise therapy are established rehabilitation strategies; however, evidence regarding their combined effectiveness remains limited. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the clinical effectiveness of combining physical therapy with staged exercise therapy for […]

• Perceptions and Experience of Patients Awaiting Orthopaedic Consultation for Hallux Valgus in Two Public Health Services in Australia 12 Set, 2026
  CONCLUSIONS: Patients with HV experience substantial unmet needs while awaiting orthopaedic consultation. Integrating podiatry-led models may improve access to timely, patient-centred care and reduce health system burden.

• Arthrodesis or arthroplasty for end stage hallux rigidus: A comparison of 3D kinematic and plantar pressure gait metrics and PROMs 12 Set, 2026
  BACKGROUND: In end stage hallux rigidus, treatment is mainly surgical in the form of joint arthrodesis or arthroplasty. Although promising results have been reported for both surgical techniques a detailed comparison of gait biomechanics has not been conducted.

• Moth-Eaten Osteolysis of Multiple Foot Bones After a Conservatively Treated "Stable" Ankle Fracture: A Case Report and Literature Review 11 Set, 2026
  Progressive multifocal "moth-eaten" osteolysis involving foot and ankle bones after nonoperative treatment of a stable ankle fracture is rare and warrants evaluation for infectious, neoplastic, inflammatory, vascular, and mechanical causes. Vigilant follow-up, serial imaging, laboratory testing, vascular assessment, and multidisciplinary review can enable early diagnosis and timely, individualized management.
