  FAI May 2024 Podcast: Discrepancies Between Intraoperative and Postoperative Ankle Motion Measured for Anterior-Approach Total Ankle Arthroplasty

Although intraoperative ankle motion serves as a foundational reference for anticipated motion after surgery and guides the addition of procedures to enhance ankle motion in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), the relationship between intraoperative and p...

  FAI April 2024 Podcast: Statistical Fragility Analysis of Open Reduction Internal Fixation vs Primary Arthrodesis to Treat Lisfranc Injuries: A Systematic Review

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 pr...

  FAI March 2024 Podcast: Primary Ankle Fusion Using an Antegrade Nail Into the Talus for Early Treatment of OTA Type C3 Distal Tibial Plafond Fractures: A Preliminary Report

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 ...

  FAI February 2024 Podcast: Immediate Unprotected Weightbearing vs 2 Weeks Nonweightbearing After Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Ankle Fractures

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 nonweightbe...

  FAI January 2024 Podcast: Outcomes After Proximal Medial Gastrocnemius Recession and Stretching vs Stretching as Treatment of Chronic Plantar Fasciitis at 6-Year Follow-up

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-...

  Outcomes After Hallux Interphalangeal Joint Arthrodesis

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 tre...

  FAI November 2023 Podcast: Outcomes of Total Ankle Arthroplasty in Postfracture Ankle Arthritis

Ankle arthritis that develops after fracture accounts for a significant portion of ankle arthritis necessitating total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). It remains unknown whether TAA in postfracture patients produces equivalent outcomes to those without frac...

  FAI October 2023 Podcast: Adverse Events After Ankle Fracture Open Reduction Internal Fixation Among Patients With and Without Documented Cannabis and Tobacco Use

Ankle fractures are common orthopaedic injuries that may be indicated for open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). Although the negative impact of tobacco use on perioperative outcomes of ankle fracture ORIF has been described, the potential impact of...

  FAI September 2023 Podcast: The Fate of Delayed Unions After Isolated Ankle Fusion

Nonunion remains the most common major complication of ankle arthrodesis. Although previous studies have reported delayed union or nonunion rates, few have elaborated on the clinical course of patients experiencing delayed union. In this retrospective...

  FAI August 2023 Podcast: Broström Repair With and Without Augmentation: Comparison of Outcomes at Median Follow-up of 5 Years

An augmented Broström repair with nonabsorbable suture tape has demonstrated strength and stiffness more similar to the native anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) compared to Broström repair alone at the time of repair in cadaveric models for the tre...
