When you attend our scientific meetings, we are inundated with lectures advocating arthrodesis for the arthritic first metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ).
What happened to joint implants and attempting to restore or preserve function? I know...

Although I do a lot of trauma and reconstructive surgery, I still consider bunion surgery to be very challenging and at times, difficult. While we can easily evaluate the X-ray and select an appropriate procedure, we must also consider the...

Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is a common condition that foot and ankle surgeons frequently encounter. It is a debilitating pathology, which results in degeneration of the posterior tibial tendon, hindfoot valgus and collapse of the...

I have been performing “beam” surgery for the treatment of the collapsed Charcot foot for about 18 months. If you are not familiar with this procedure, it involves reducing the deformity and percutaneously inserting a large diameter screw...

For patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus and a large intermetatarsal angle, proximal first metatarsal osteotomies may be indicated to achieve an appropriate amount of correction.

We have seen quite an evolution over the years in regard to surgical procedures for plantar fasciitis. In the 1980s, the standard procedure was open heel spur resection for patients that had failed conservative treatment. Podiatrists released...

In the quest to promote normal biomechanics and avoid complications, surgeons continue to debate appropriate fixation, screw size and other components of surgical repair for syndesmotic ankle injuries. Accordingly, these authors offer...
