Higher resilience scores were linked to better mental and physical patient-reported outcomes after operative pilon fracture fixation, independent of injury severity.
In this registry cohort, preoperative anxiety/depression was common before total ankle arthroplasty but did not independently predict worse 12-month patient-reported outcomes, and most patients' symptoms resolved postoperatively.
A Simplified Method for Talocalcaneal Coalition Excision.
A simplified Kirschner-wire-guided technique for talocalcaneal coalition excision reduced operative time and cost compared to traditional methods without increasing complications.
Poor mental health in patients with symptomatic osteochondral lesions of the talus.
This prospective study found that most patients with symptomatic osteochondral talar lesions have mental health scores as poor as those with mood/anxiety disorders, persisting even after successful treatment, supporting integrated mental health care.
Weightbearing CT–based study shows long-leg and dedicated ankle AP radiographs give discordant coronal ankle alignment measurements (varus/valgus mismatch in up to 22% of ankles), so the two views should not be used interchangeably.
Essential concepts in the treatment of common joint fractures: A narrative review.
This narrative review outlines key surgical principles for treating proximal humerus, distal humerus, distal radius, proximal tibia, and ankle fractures to optimize reduction and reduce complications.
Stress Fractures of the Fifth Metatarsal in Athletes.
This review supports intramedullary screw fixation as the standard for fifth metatarsal stress fractures in athletes, with plantar plating emerging as a biomechanically favorable alternative.
An international consensus establishes standardized reporting recommendations for participant characteristics (demographics, symptoms, imaging, activity level) in tendinopathy research to improve study quality and comparability.
