PASS thresholds for the EFAS score after hallux valgus surgery are 20.5 at 6 months and 23.5 at 2 years, providing clinically meaningful interpretation benchmarks for future studies.
First MTP joint fusion gave excellent long-term satisfaction; adjacent-joint degeneration (mainly interphalangeal) occurred radiographically but did not affect clinical outcomes.
Factors Associated With Flat-Top Talus in Radiographically Evaluated Ponseti-Treated Clubfeet.
Flat-top talus after Ponseti clubfoot treatment is associated with greater initial deformity severity, more casts, and prior surgery, marking intrinsic rigidity rather than driving recurrence.
Surgical fixation of Jones fractures yielded fewer complications, lower nonunion, and better functional scores than conservative care, supporting operative treatment.
Minimally invasive and open talonavicular arthrodesis achieved equivalent medial-column realignment and union rates despite greater preoperative deformity in the open surgery group.
ChatGPT and Gemini provided reliable, high-quality theoretical information on minimally invasive bunion surgery but failed on actionability and were too complex for general readers.
In a cadaveric SER4b ankle model, both syndesmotic screw and deltoid repair restored lateral translation, but only deltoid repair restored rotational and valgus stability.
Corrigendum correcting a prior publication on CT-based pain associations in osteochondral lesions of the talus; read in conjunction with the original study for accurate interpretation.
Treatment of Lesser Toe Deformities Based on Physical Therapy.
Conservative treatment of lesser toe deformities, including orthoses and intrinsic muscle strengthening exercises, is effective for reducible deformities and can prevent progression before surgery.
Triple Arthrodesis for Adult-Acquired Flatfoot Deformity.
Review of triple arthrodesis for adult-acquired flatfoot, highlighting advances in imaging, fixation, and postoperative care for correcting the rigid planovalgus foot.
