• Ideal location for Achilles tendon tenotomy following the Ponseti method for correction of clubfoot deformity: Results of MRI cohort in children 18 months old or younger 06 Giu, 2026
  CONCLUSION: Performing the tenotomy 10-20 mm proximal to the superior calcaneal border offers an optimal balance between tendon width and a safe distance from the posterior tibial neurovascular bundle. This location may reduce the risk of iatrogenic vascular injury during Ponseti treatment of clubfoot in infants.

• Effects of different exercise programmes on ankle stiffness, muscle strength, and plantar pressure distribution in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy: a single-blind randomised controlled trial 05 Giu, 2026
  CONCLUSIONS: The integration of targeted foot and ankle exercises into a supervised aerobic programme was associated with meaningful improvements in ankle stiffness and muscle strength in individuals with T2D and DPN. Both exercise modalities were associated with improvements in glycaemic parameters, with the combined intervention demonstrating superior functional benefits compared with standard care. These findings […]

• Scoping Out Ankle Impingement 05 Giu, 2026
  BACKGROUND: Ankle impingement is common in athletes, especially in running, jumping, and cutting activities. We present 2 clinical cases of impingement, anterior (AAI) and posterior (PAI), plus subfibular, demonstrating the utility of ankle arthroscopy and hindfoot endoscopy techniques.

• Clinical outcomes after calcaneonavicular coalition resection in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis of preoperative to postoperative changes in pain and function 05 Giu, 2026
  Calcaneonavicular coalition is traditionally considered a pediatric condition; however, some patients remain symptomatic into adulthood, and evidence regarding surgical outcomes in this population remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate clinical improvement following calcaneonavicular coalition resection in adults through a systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis of preoperative to postoperative changes in pain and function. A […]

• Tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis using a retrograde intramedullary nail and augmented allograft after failed total ankle replacement: an exploratory retrospective matched cohort study 05 Giu, 2026
  CONCLUSIONS: Tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis utilizing a retrograde nail with femoral head structural allograft and autograft could be a valuable salvage procedure after failed TAR. While subtalar nonunion was the main complication, radiographic and functional outcomes appear to be comparable to those of primary tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. These results should be considered in relation to the small number […]

• Robot-assisted percutaneous cannulated screw treatment versus traditional surgical reduction fixation in the treatment of Hawkins type talus fracture: a retrospective study of an average two-year follow-up 05 Giu, 2026
  CONCLUSION: Robot-assisted screw placement for talar neck fractures achieved clinical outcomes comparable to those of traditional surgery, with the advantages of significantly shorter operation time and lower intraoperative fluoroscopic dose. Robot-assisted surgery appears to be a safe, effective, and low-radiation alternative for selected talar neck fractures (Hawkins type II).

• Management of progressive joint disorders by non-physician healthcare providers in South Africa: A mapping study to inform pharmacist integration 04 Giu, 2026
  CONCLUSION: Progressive joint disorders were predominantly managed by chiropractors, physiotherapists and biokineticists. Referral pathways were inconsistent, and pharmacist integration remained limited.Contribution: This study presents the first national mapping of non-physician roles in PJD management in South Africa, providing critical insights for future development of pharmacist-inclusive referral guidelines.

• High CT-scan confirmed union rates following subtalar and talonavicular arthrodesis through a single medial approach 04 Giu, 2026
  CONCLUSION: ST and TN arthrodesis through a single medial approach provide statistically significant clinical and radiographic improvements, as well as CT-scan confirmed high union-rates.

• Operative management of supination-external rotation type trimalleolar equivalent ankle fractures: reassessing the role of deltoid ligament repair and impact of posterior malleolar fixation on postoperative syndesmotic widening 03 Giu, 2026
  CONCLUSIONS: In SER-type TEAFs, routine DL repair does not confer additional radiographic or clinical benefits when stable fixation of the lateral and posterior malleoli is achieved. Residual syndesmotic widening after posterior malleolar fixation did not result in medial instability, valgus TT, or post-traumatic valgus ankle arthritis. These findings suggest that accurate bone reduction alone may […]

• Endoscopic versus open flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer for reconstruction of chronic achilles tendon rupture: A prospective randomized pilot trial 02 Giu, 2026
  CONCLUSIONS: Both open and endoscopic FHL tendon transfer provided excellent functional outcomes in the management of chronic Achilles tendon rupture. The endoscopic technique was associated with fewer wound complications and improved early postoperative recovery, despite longer operative time.
