Fluoroscopically guided flexible osteotome technique with stepwise corticotomy for removal of a well-fixed modular tibial stem during revision total ankle arthroplasty

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Fluoroscopically guided flexible osteotome technique with stepwise corticotomy for removal of a well-fixed modular tibial stem during revision total ankle arthroplasty
Abstract Revision total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) frequently requires removal of well-fixed tibial components. Modular intramedullary stem systems provide strong metaphyseal and diaphyseal fixation but can present substantial challenges during revision…

Chronic lateral ankle instability: A systematic review on comparison between operative treatments

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Chronic lateral ankle instability: A systematic review on comparison between operative treatments
Abstract Chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) is characterized by recurrent ankle sprains. Conservative treatment may result in persistent instability requiring operative management. Surgical treatments such as the Modified Brostrom-Gould (MB)…

Chronic recalcitrant ulcerations treated with minimally invasive internal transmetatarsal amputation-like offloading: A case report

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Chronic recalcitrant ulcerations treated with minimally invasive internal transmetatarsal amputation-like offloading: A case report
Abstract Neuropathic plantar forefoot ulceration remains a difficult limb-salvage problem when recurrent or persistent ulceration continues despite wound care, accommodative offloading, and surveillance. Repetitive mechanical stress beneath the metatarsal heads…

“Salvage Tibiotalar arthrodesis with a patient-specific 3D-printed porous talus implant featuring an intramedullary canal: A case report”

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on “Salvage Tibiotalar arthrodesis with a patient-specific 3D-printed porous talus implant featuring an intramedullary canal: A case report”
Abstract Introduction Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a recognized alternative to arthrodesis for end-stage ankle arthritis. However, failed TAA complicated by severe talar subsidence and bone loss often renders revision…

Staged treatment of open talar extrusion using a 3D-molded antibiotic cement spacer and total talus replacement

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Staged treatment of open talar extrusion using a 3D-molded antibiotic cement spacer and total talus replacement
Abstract Talar extrusion is an extremely rare, potentially limb-threatening injury. The majority of talar extrusions are open talar dislocations or fracture-dislocations associated with severe surrounding soft tissue injuries. Arthrodesis, talar…
