Background: Infection is a serious complication of primary total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and can lead to implant failure revision surgery. Various demographic, comorbidity, surgical factors have been associated with an increased risk infection. However, the evidence base remains limited, further research needed regarding infection in TAA. This study aims analyze explore outcomes following infected Methods: A retrospective cohort was conducted using data from single institution 2002 2022....
Background: The utilization of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) for managing severe osteoarthritis has become increasingly common, leading to a higher occurrence revision TAA procedures because failure primary TAA. This study aims examine the clinical results associated with using INBONE II system. Given growing number and focus on motion-preserving salvage options, we evaluated our early experience Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted group 60 presumed noninfected patients who...
Background: The incidence of primary total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is rising, with a corresponding increase in revision surgeries. Despite this, research on risk factors for TAA following remains limited. Radiographic soft tissue thickness has been explored as potential predictor outcomes hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasty, but its role not assessed. This study aimed to assess the predictive value radiographic identifying patients at requiring surgery TAA. Methods: A retrospective was...
Because of the lack scientific oversight, quality, applicability, and consistency healthcare-related TikTok videos have become a focus research exploration. The orthopaedic surgery literature lags behind other medical fields in analyzing widespread utilization for information delivery.TikTok was queried using hashtag #shoulderstabilityexercises, 109 were included. collected by two authors independently evaluated DISCERN (a well-validated informational analysis tool) shoulder stability...
The anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) and disc arthroplasty (LDA) procedures are both commonly performed to improve the quality of life pain in people with lower back pain. However, few recent studies have compared 30-day complications on a large scale. objectives this study were compare seen after ALIF LDA identify risk factors for these complications.

Given the scarcity large-scale literature on topic, purpose this study is to evaluate impact postoperative protocols outcomes after open surgical management syndrome. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort who underwent...
Background Surgical management of ankle osteoarthritis (AOA) includes Ankle Arthrodesis (AA) or Total Arthroplasty (TAA). The purpose this study was to analyze data from the National Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) elucidate differences in outcomes between TAA and AA. Methods Patients who underwent AA January 2010 December 2020 were included analysis. Matched cohorts created using 1:1 propensity score matching match patients according patient demographics. Independent sample t-tests...
Background: Tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis is used among other methods as a salvage procedure for complex foot/ankle deformity. Fixation usually achieved through plate/screw constructs or intramedullary (IM) nailing. Although IM nailing uses smaller incisions, fusion rates are variable and complications ranging from 25% to 55.7% have been reported. The Phantom ActivCore (AC) nail could serve viable alternative traditional by allowing increased compression capacity potentially lower...
Submission Type: Total Ankle Arthroplasty Research Level 3 - Retrospective cohort study, Case-control Meta-analysis of studies Introduction/Purpose: While total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has evolved over the years with improved designs and fixation methods, it remains a technically demanding procedure substantial early postoperative complication rates. One most common complications associated TAA is medial lateral gutter impingement, which can lead to issues such as increased pain more...
