When nonoperative treatment fails, surgical procedures include debridement of unhealthy tissue, enthesophytes, and Haglund’s deformity. This surgical procedure often entails detaching the Achilles tendon from its insertion, followed by a reconstructive procedure to re-attach the Achilles tendon to the bone. Most common double-row repairs involve 2 proximal and 2 distal anchors with crossing sutures. This technique may have several limitations, including the proximal portion of the tendon not being compressed to bone and the lack of complete coverage of the distal Achilles insertion. This paper describes a new double-row technique to address these potential shortcomings, aiming for a more biomechanically favorable repair with a quicker functional recovery.

A retrospective chart and radiograph review was conducted involving 36 adolescent patients (ages 8 to 20 y) treated surgically for chronic symptomatic peroneal sheath pain from 2010 to 2020. Findings that include chief complaint, magnetic resonance imaging findings, and surgical measures were documented. The patients’ postoperative and clinic visit notes were analyzed and outcome scores (FAOS Foot & Ankle Survey, AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot Scale, and Kaikkonen Functional Scale) were calculated to determine the long-term results of the procedure. In our case series of 36 patients undergoing surgical treatment for chronic symptomatic peroneal sheath pain the procedures performed were as follows: 35 peroneal sheath repairs (97.22%), 34 ankle arthroscopies (94.44%), 27 resections of anomalous peroneus brevis muscle belly (75.00%), 2 resections of accessory peroneus quartus muscle (5.56%), 7 partial synovectomies (19.44%), 29 debridements (80.56%), and 6 Brostrom repairs (16.67%). magnetic resonance imaging findings showed 50% of our patient population had low-lying peroneus brevis muscles, and on examination during surgery, 61.11% of peroneus brevis muscles extended past the fibular tip. The average time in the cast post-operatively was 4.33 weeks. The average time from surgery to return to activity was 9.03 weeks. Twenty-two of the 36 patients (61.11%) were athletes and 100% were able to return to their sport. Outcome scores were retrospectively determined to be 99.27 for the FAOS Foot and Ankle Survey, 98.72 for the AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot Scale, and 99.31 for the Kaikkonen Functional Scale. Complications were minimal and included 1 postoperative infection, 3 cast impingements, and 2 reported instances of post-operative pain. In our retrospective case series of 36 patients, the outcomes of surgical intervention for peroneal tendon pathology unresponsive to nonsurgical management in pediatric patients were evaluated. Our surgical method utilizes debridement, synovectomy, excision of low lying peroneus brevis muscle belly, excision of peroneus quartus if present, repair of split-tears of the tendons, and repair of the peroneal tendon sheath using “pants over vest” sutures to tighten the sheath. Our chart review shows all 36 patients were satisfied with the outcome, demonstrated improvement in relevant patient-reported outcome measures, and would elect to undergo the procedure again. Therefore, the novel surgical techniques outlined in this study appear to be viable options to treat chronic symptomatic peroneal tendon sheath pain resistant to conservative methods.\u0000 \u0000 Level of Evidence: Retrospective Case Series, Level IV.","PeriodicalId":507475,"journal":{"name":"Techniques in Foot & Ankle Surgery","volume":"13 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141682190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When necrosis asymmetrically involves 2 adjacent toes, the healthy tissue of the partially necrotic toe could be used as a spare part for surgical wound closure after amputation. This paper reports a variant of the toe fillet flap, the webspace toe fillet flap, which could be performed when facing this clinical situation. After the amputation of the totally necrotic toe at the metatarsophalangeal joint level, the necrotic part of the partially necrotic toe is removed while preserving all the proximal healthy soft tissue, including the neurovascular elements. Therefore, closure is achieved using an axial-pattern digital flap rather than a random flap. In some instances, when necrosis is more distal, the proximal phalanx could be preserved and used as a spacer in the webspace that could possibly avoid lateral clawing of the remaining toes. The webspace toe fillet flap could be an excellent solution for wound closure after asymmetric amputation of 2 adjacent toes.\u0000 Levels of Evidence: Level V, expert opinion.","PeriodicalId":507475,"journal":{"name":"Techniques in Foot & Ankle Surgery","volume":"228 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140265170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chronic osteomyelitis confers a great risk of amputation and protracted hospital admission in patients with diabetes, existing orthopedic hardware, and/or compromised tissue perfusion. The current standard of practice in the treatment of osteomyelitis is the initiation of broad antibiotic coverage followed by subsequent narrowing informed by culture data and sensitivities. While mild to moderate infections are treated with oral antibiotics, more severe infections are often treated using intravenous (IV) antibiotics. Vancomycin, in its IV form, is frequently administered intraoperatively for patients with osteomyelitis as it confers adequate coverage of common causative organisms, including staphylococcus aureus. However, given the diminished blood flow to distal extremities commonly seen in patients experiencing this complication, inadequate distribution of oral or IV antibiotics may occur. This is especially problematic, as it leads to an increased risk of recurrent infection and the ultimate need for amputation. Here, we present an alternate method of intraoperative vancomycin administration for patients with chronic osteomyelitis in the form of paste, powder, and injectable slurry. Postoperatively, oral or IV antibiotics are continued based on OR culture susceptibility. We found this to be an effective way to administer intraoperative antibiotics to ensure adequate osseous and soft tissue penetration in patients with complicated osteomyelitis of the foot and ankle.\u0000 \u0000 Level of Evidence: III.","PeriodicalId":507475,"journal":{"name":"Techniques in Foot & Ankle Surgery","volume":"42 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140449852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
