The study aimed to introduce the treatment of such fractures through the posterolateral approach. From March 2020 and January 2022, 32 patients with distal third tibial fractures were plated through the posterolateral approach due to concurrent closed anterior soft tissue compromise. There were 30 male and 2 female patients with the mean age of 33 years (range, 20-53 years). The reduction quality of diaphyseal fractures was good (n=30) and acceptable (n=2). The reduction quality of articular fragments was anatomic (n=21), good (n=6), and fair (n=1). All anterior soft tissue injuries healed without surgical intervention. Follow-ups lasted 28 months (range, 25-34 months). The mean dorsiflexion of the injured and uninjured ankles were 17.8°±5.4° and 24.5°±6.6°, respectively (P<0.05). The mean plantar flexion of the ankles were 42°±8.8° and 46°±12.9°, respectively (P>0.05). The mean inversion of the injured and uninjured ankles were 15°±13.3° and 19°±12.4°, respectively (P<0.05). The mean eversion of the injured and uninjured ankles were 27.8°±16.9° and 32.9°±14.3°, respectively (P>0.05). The mean American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle score was 90 (range, 68-100). Distal third tibial fractures with anterior soft tissue compromise can be plated through the posterolateral approach, resulting in good functional outcomes and minimum complications.</p>","PeriodicalId":50191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Foot & Ankle Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142156524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluated the impact of age on the differences in clinical outcomes and management of these fractures. This was a retrospective cohort study of patients presenting to a single large, urban, academic hospital system with a 5th MT fracture over a 10-year period. Patients were stratified into groups of younger than 65 years old and equal to or greater than 65 years old. Initial and successive radiographs were reviewed, and fractures were categorized as Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Shaft, Neck, or Head fractures. 2,461 patients with 5th MT fractures were evaluated. Patients who did not follow up after initial evaluation in the emergency department or urgent care were excluded. Among 2,020 patients with mean follow-up of 1.03 years who met inclusion criteria, 76.2% were younger than 65 years and 23.8% were greater than or equal to 65 years. There was a significant difference in fracture type between groups as older patients were more likely to sustain metatarsal neck fractures but less likely to sustain Zone 1 base fractures (p < 0.05). There was no difference in time to clinical healing (p = 0.108) or time to radiographic union (p = 0.367) for all fractures between age groups.

While prior research has extensively explored the impact of obesity on hip and knee surgeries, a notable gap persists in understanding weight changes following foot and ankle procedures. This retrospective study focuses on the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Achilles debridement with flexor hallucis longus (FHL) transfer. Despite prevailing research on the adverse effects of obesity on orthopedic outcomes, few studies examine the reciprocal influence of surgeries on weight. A retrospective analysis of 136 patients undergoing primary Achilles debridement with FHL transfer was conducted. Data encompassing BMI, demographic information, and medical comorbidities were extracted from electronic medical records (EMRs). A clinically meaningful BMI change was considered as a 5 % variation. Inferential statistics in the form of analysis of variance, t-test, and linear regression were employed for data analysis. Among the 136 patients in the study, no statistically significant BMI changes were noted up to two years after surgery (p = 0.9967). While obesity remains a significant factor in foot and ankle surgery complications, our study suggests that Achilles debridement with FHL transfer does not induce significant weight changes. Further research exploring factors influencing weight changes and varying outcomes across demographics is warranted.</p>","PeriodicalId":50191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Foot & Ankle Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"131-135"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142156525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our retrospective analysis included patients who underwent the procedure of interest between 2011 and 2020. Patients were divided into 2 groups: undergoing either a 1-incision (n = 53) or a 2-incision approach (n = 47), both with a lateralizing calcaneal osteotomy. A significant difference in skin bridge breakdown was observed between the 2-incision (n = 6 [13%]) and 1-incision groups (n = 0 [0%]). There were no significant differences in infection, deep wound dehiscence, nerve palsy, or neuroma between patients in the 2 groups. Furthermore, no statistically significant differences in mean PROMIS scores existed between the cohorts. The described Broström-Gould procedure shows promise for treating chronic ankle instability. While patients in both single- and double-incision groups had similar rates of postoperative complications, the decreased incidence of skin bridge breakdown in the 1incision group highlights the approach's safety and potential benefits in reducing wound-related complications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Foot & Ankle Surgery","volume":"63 6","pages":"Pages 747-751"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141996800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
