Abstract
BACKGROUND Fractures of the navicular bone are rare and the number of those treated surgically is even smaller. Moreover, scientific analyses on this topic are only sporadically present in the literature, therefore this retrospective and monocentric study was initiated. METHODS A total of 30 patients with 30 fractures were included. With the exception of one primary fusion, all patients underwent open reduction with internal osteosynthesis. Clinical and radiological follow-up was performed at least 2 years postoperatively using AOFAS-Score, SF-12 and a radiological examination. The primary objectives were the clinical and radiologic outcomes as mid-term to long-term outcomes. The secondary objective was to compare these results with two existing computed tomography (CT) fracture classifications in terms of their association with the outcome. RESULTS The median follow-up was 7.8 years (range 2-16.2 years) postoperatively. One patient suffered an infection, four patients required secondary arthrodesis and eight patients had to change their occupation. The mean AOFAS-Score was 80.8/100 and the mean physical and mental SF-12 component summary scores were 47.1 and 55.7 points, respectively. Male sex and arthrodesis were associated with worse outcomes in both scores but not patient age or ipsilateral concomitant injuries. Both CT fracture classifications showed low predictive value. CONCLUSION The severity of the injury in the preoperative CT showed no connection with the clinical outcome in the AOFAS-Score and SF-12 scores. Posttraumatic osteoarthritis and secondary arthrodesis are associated with a poor outcome. In the course of the observational period the reduction results improved, which was accompanied by a better clinical outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Müller-Weiss disease (MWD) is a challenging condition involving the perinavicular region in the initial stages and subsequently the entire foot in the later stages. The goal of this article is to describe the pathomechanics, clinical evaluation, and nonoperative and operative treatment, including a treatment algorithm, based on current evidence and the combined authors' experience. DESIGN We review the related articles and summarize the information about this condition. RESULTS A number of related articles reveal that the treatments should focus on the management of degenerative regions and deformity correction to restore normal foot alignment and provide pain relief. CONCLUSION This systematic review proposes a treatment algorithm that is comprehensive and practical to apply for the management of MWD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Midfoot arthrodesis is regarded as the main surgical approach for treating Müller-Weiss disease (MWD). This study aimed to investigate the incidence of postoperative pain during MWD treatment through midfoot reduction or malreduction during arthrodesis and to explore the factors influencing postoperative pain in patients with MWD. METHODS A total of 67 patients with MWD were recruited and divided into two groups according to whether midfoot alignment was reduced: reduction group (n = 38) and malreduction group (n = 29). Demographic characteristics before the operation and at the last follow-up, as well as clinical and radiographic parameters, were compared between the two groups. Clinical parameters included the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society score and visual analog scale score, whereas radiographic parameters included the calcaneal pitch angle, lateral Meary's angle, talometatarsal-1 angle dorsoplantar (TMT1dp), talocalcaneal angle dorsoplantar (Kite angle), talonavicular coverage angle, and medial navicular pole extrusion. Postoperative complications and incidence of midfoot pain were evaluated at the last follow-up visit. RESULTS The reduction group exhibited better clinical and radiological parameters, including the TMT1dp and medial navicular pole extrusion, than the malreduction group at the last follow-up (all P < .05). However, the calcaneal pitch angle, lateral Meary's angle, Kite angle, and talonavicular coverage angle did not significantly differ between the two groups (all P > .05). The overall incidence of midfoot pain was 26.4%. The reduction group showed a lower incidence of medial pain than the malreduction group (15.7% vs. 40.0%, P < .05). Regression analysis revealed that midfoot abduction, represented by the TMT1dp, was a critical factor for midfoot arthrodesis failure and that medial navicular pole extrusion was not correlated with postoperative midfoot pain. CONCLUSION Midfoot reduction arthrodesis yields better clinical outcomes than malreduction arthrodesis. The TMT1dp, representing midfoot abduction, is a key factor for midfoot arthrodesis failure. The extruded medial navicular bone may not affect postoperative medial midfoot pain. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
No consensus exists regarding operative treatment of Müller-Weiss disease (MWD). Its only classification is based solely on Méary's angle and serves neither as guide to management nor prognosis. We report on 33 feet that underwent surgery following failed conservative management. Treatment was directed towards joint(s) involved, as determined by clinical examination, plain radiography and SPECT-CT. Thus, surgery consisted of isolated talonavicular in 6 feet, triple in 8, subtalar and talonavicular in 7, talonaviculocuneiform in 4, talonaviculocuneiform with interpositional tricortical iliac crest graft in 6 and pantalar arthrodesis in 2. PROMIS scores for pain interference and depression decreased significantly (p < .001) with significant accompanying increase in physical function (p = .003). Union occurred in 31 of 33 feet (94%) with complete resolution of pain at an average follow-up of 84 months. Of the 2 nonunions, 1 had fracture through the lateral navicular, and the other marked sclerosis and avascularity of the lateral navicular. We describe our pathways for selecting arthrodesis based on the joints affected. Isolated talonavicular arthrodesis was performed in early stages of MWD, which begins at the talonavicular articulation. When disease extended to both sides of the navicular, we performed talonaviculocuneiform arthrodesis. When considering isolated talonavicular, double medial or triple arthrodesis, there should be adequate cancellous bone stock remaining in the lateral part of the navicular, as determined on medial oblique radiographs and CT scan. In case of inadequate bone stock or fracture through the lateral navicular, talonaviculocuneiform arthrodesis with interpositional iliac crest bone graft is recommended.

Abstract
Mueller-Weiss Syndrome (MWS), characterized by spontaneous adult-onset tarsal navicular osteonecrosis, is an uncommon cause of chronic midfoot pain that can lead to functional impairment and progressive deformities. This study aimed to present clinical and radiological outcomes of talonavicular-cuneiform (TNC) arthrodesis in the treatment of patients with MWS. A retrospective study was performed on 8 consecutive patients (6 female, 2 male; mean age = 50 years; range = 33-64) who underwent TNC arthrodesis using plate fixation with autologous bone grafting for the treatment of MWS. To evaluate clinical status, the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Midfoot Score was performed immediately preoperatively and at the final follow-up. In radiographic evaluation, talus-first metatarsal angle (Meary's angle) was measured preoperatively and at the final follow-up. Solid fusion was also examined on postoperative radiographs and computerised tomography. The mean follow-up was 35 months (range = 24-52). The mean AOFAS improved from 37 (range = 24-53) preoperatively to 85 (range = 80-93) at the final follow-up (p < 0.001). No major intra- operative complications were observed in any of the patients. According to the Maceira and Rochera radiological staging system, 5 feet was stage 3, and 3 feet was stage 4. The mean union time was 10 months (range = 5-15). Radiographic solid fusion was achieved in all but one foot that developed talonavicular non-union. TNC arthrodesis using plate fixation with autologous bone grafting seems to be an effective surgical method for reconstruction of MWS.

Abstract
Numerous surgical procedures for the treatment of posterior tibialis tendon (PTT) dysfunction have been developed, including tendon transfers, osteotomies, and arthrodesis. Among these methods, foot and ankle surgeons most frequently use flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendon transfer in conjunction with medial translational osteotomy of the calcaneus. Formerly, some less invasive techniques have been described to reduce surgical-related complications after FDL tendon transfer. Herein, we introduced a new modification of short-stump FDL tendon fixation to the navicular bone and reported the functional outcomes of the current technique in a patient with PTT dysfunction. In the current technique, the FDL tendon was fixed to the navicular bone via a trans-osseous tunnel using a split PTT stump. This method does not require any kind of fixation devices, such as an interference screw or anchor suture.Level of Evidence: V.

Abstract
Adult tarsal coalition consists in abnormal union of two or more tarsal bones. Reported incidence ranges between 1 and 13%. It is generally a congenital condition, due to dominant autosomal chromosome disorder, but with some acquired forms following trauma or inflammatory pathology. Poorly specific clinical signs and the difficulty of screening on conventional X-ray may lead to diagnostic failure. The present review of tarsal coalition addresses the following questions: how to define tarsal coalition? How to diagnose it? How to treat it? And what results can be expected? There are 3 types of tarsal coalition, according to the type of tissue between the united bones: bony in pure synostosis, cartilaginous in synchondrosis, and fibrous in syndesmosis. Location varies; the most frequent forms are talocalcaneal (TC) and calcaneonavicular (CN), accounting for more than 90% of cases. Cuneonavicular, intercuneal and cuboideonavicular locations are much rarer, at less than 10%. Tarsal coalition is classically painful, often with valgus spastic flatfoot in young adults. The pain is caused by the biomechanical disturbance induced by the bone, cartilage or fibrous bridges which partially or completely hinder hindfoot and/or midfoot motion. Conventional imaging, with weight-bearing X-ray and CT, is standard practice. Weight-bearing CT is increasingly the gold standard, displaying abnormalities in 3 dimensions. Functional imaging on MRI and tomoscintigraphy assess direct and indirect joint impact at the affected and neighboring joint lines. Non-operative treatment can be proposed, with orthoses, rehabilitation and/or injections. But surgery is the most frequent option: either resection of the bony, cartilaginous or fibrous constructs to restore optimally normal anatomy, or arthrodesis in the affected joint line or the entire joint. Surgery can be open, arthroscopic or percutaneous, depending on the severity of the biomechanical impact on the affected and neighboring joints. Resecting the abnormality is the standard practice in all locations if it affects less than 50% of the talocalcaneal joint line and there is no osteoarthritis to impair the functional outcome. Otherwise, fusion is required. Level of evidence: V; expert opinion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess screw placement in simulated dorsomedial-plantarolateral central tarsal bone (CTB) fractures using two imaging guidance techniques - computed tomography (CT) with fluoroscopy compared to digital radiography alone (DR). STUDY DESIGN Experimental study. SAMPLE POPULATION Equine cadaver hindlimbs (n = 10 pairs). METHODS One tarsus per pair was randomly assigned to have a 4.5 mm cortical screw placed across the CTB using CT and fluoroscopy (CT/F group) or digital radiography alone (DR group). Postoperative CT was performed on all limbs. Variables related to marker placement, procedure time, and screw positioning were recorded and compared using a paired t-test for dependent means (p < .05). RESULTS Time for marker placement was longer for the CT/F group (p = .001), with no difference in total procedure time (p = .12). CT/F was not superior to radiography alone (p > .05) for parameters related to screw positioning. Based on the 95% CI, there was greater range in relative screw length using radiography (76.5%-91.2%) versus CT/F (78.4%-84.0%). CONCLUSION Internal fixation of CTB fractures can be successfully performed using either technique for imaging guidance. CT and fluoroscopy did not result in faster or more accurate screw placement compared to radiographs alone, except in determining screw length. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Mild adjustments in fluoroscopic or radiographic angle appeared to be a point of variability in the perception of screw placement. While CT is recommended for improved understanding of fracture configuration and surgical planning, radiographic guidance may be a suitable alternative for internal fixation of dorsomedial-plantarolateral fractures.

Abstract
Various surgical treatments are available for a symptomatic AN, including percutaneous drilling (PD). PD is reportedly effective for ANs in skeletally immature children. However, no reports have described the foot alignment after PD in skeletally immature children. This study was performed to compare the radiographic parameters between the preoperative period and the final follow-up after PD for symptomatic ANs in skeletally immature children. From October 2013 to December 2020, PD was performed on 13 feet in 10 skeletally immature children. The patients comprised 5 boys and 5 girls with a mean age at surgery of 11.9 years. The mean follow-up period was 14.8 months. We measured 5 radiographic findings preoperatively and at the final follow-up: calcaneal pitch angle (CPA), talocalcaneal angle (TCA), talonavicular coverage angle (TNCA), anteroposterior talo-first metatarsal angle (ATMA), and lateral talo-first metatarsal angle (LTMA). Ten feet were assessed as excellent, 1 as fair, and 2 as poor. Ten unions (76.9%) were achieved among the 13 feet. The mean CPA improved from 16.4 ± 4.1 degrees preoperatively to 18.2 ± 3.4 degrees at the final follow-up, the TCA improved from 43.0 ± 3.7 to 45.2 ± 4.4 degrees, and the TNCA improved from 19.9 ± 4.4 to 15.4 ± 5.0 degrees (P < .05). The ATMA and LTMA were not significantly different between the preoperative period and final follow-up. We found that PD for symptomatic ANs in skeletally immature children was effective treatment, and some radiographic parameters showed significant differences between the preoperative period and final follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the outcome of surgical treatment of tarsal coalition, assess the role of the surgical technique, as well as of coalition size and type on outcomes. METHODS The search followed the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis and was performed in four databases: MEDLINE, Central, Scopus and Web of Science. The protocol has been registered in the international prospective register of systematic reviews. Patient-reported outcomes (PROMs), complications, revisions and radiographic recurrence were collected. Risk of bias was assessed using MINORS criteria. A random-effects model for meta-analysis was applied for analysis of data heterogeneity. RESULTS Twenty-five studies including 760 tarsal coalitions were included and had a weighted average follow-up of 44 months. Studies scored fair to poor on the risk of bias assessment with a mean MINORS score of 67% (44-81%). In 77.8% (37.5-100%) of surgically treated tarsal coalitions, good/excellent/non-limiting or improved PROMs were reported. Calculated data heterogeneity was moderate (I2 = 57%). Open bar resection with material interposition had a clinical success rate of 78.8% (50-100%). Complications occurred in 4.96% of cases. Coalition size did not prove to be a determining factor in postoperative outcome. The influence of the coalition type was not investigated by any of the studies. CONCLUSION Data on outcomes of surgical management for tarsal coalitions is limited to retrospective case series with high risk of bias and moderate data heterogeneity. In about ¾ of cases, open resection and interposition of material results in improved PROMs. The arbitrary margin of ≥ 50% of TC coalition size in relation to the posterior facet has little importance in surgical decision-making. None of the studies reported on the influence of the coalition type on postoperative clinical success.

Abstract
Background Navicular syndrome is a common cause of forelimb lameness in horses. Beyond changes to the navicular bone itself, horses with a clinical diagnosis of navicular syndrome often have pathology associated with other components of the navicular apparatus, including the navicular bursa, deep digital flexor (DDF) tendon, collateral sesamoidean ligaments, and impar ligament. Palmar digital neurectomy (PDN) is often used as a salvage procedure for horses diagnosed with navicular syndrome that become unresponsive to medical management. There are many potential complications associated with PDN, some of which are debilitating. Case Description This report describes two cases of navicular bone fracture with severe DDF tendinopathy and distal interphalangeal joint subluxation/hyperextension that occurred 12 and 19 weeks after bilateral forelimb PDN. Conclusion These two cases highlight the importance of proper patient selection before PDN due to the high incidence of undiagnosed soft tissue pathology in conjunction with radiographic evidence of navicular syndrome. Advanced imaging of the digit is recommended to identify and characterize any soft tissue pathology associated with the navicular apparatus before pursuing PDN to avoid disease progression and catastrophic injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The surgical treatment of accessory navicular (AN) is divided into simple resection of AN and Kidner surgery used to reconstruct posterior tibial tendon (PTT) after AN resection. However, both of these procedures have certain disadvantages. Herein, we proposed a modified method to reconstruct PTT and compared the short-term clinical effect of our method with the modified Kidner procedure. METHODS We collected data from 23 adolescent children with painful type II AN treated in our department between January 2015 and June 2020. The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hind foot (AOFAS-AH) Scores, the Meary Angle, and Pitch Angle of the lateral weight-bearing plain radiographs status were recorded before and after the operation to evaluate the treatment outcomes. RESULTS In the modified Kidner surgery (MK) group, the median AOFAS-AH increased from 61 (59-68) to 87 (83-91) (P < 0.05); the Pitch angle of the lateral weight-bearing plain radiographs increased from 13.0 (8-18) to 17.4 (14-22), and the Meary angle decreased from 18.3 (14-24) to 14.2 (8-20) (P < 0.05). In the PTT preservation folded suture (FS) group, the median AOFAS-AH increased from 61 (59-68) to 87 (85-91) (P < 0.05); the Pitch angle of the lateral weight-bearing plain radiographs increased from 12.3 (7-18) to 18.4 (15-26), and the Meary angle decreased from 17.8 (13-23) to 5.7 (3-8) (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in AOFAS-AH postoperative scores between the FS group and MK group; however, the improvement on Pitch and Meary angle of the lateral weight-bearing plain radiographs was significantly better in the FS group than in MK group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS For painful type II AN in juvenile patients, the insertion-preserving folding suture procedure had similar short-term results on AOFAS-AH scores but greater improvement in the Meary angle and the Pitch Angle than the modified Kidner method. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Osteoid osteoma of the cuneiform bone is an exceedingly rare and easily missed cause of foot pain. The uncharacteristic and nonspecific radiographs of such intra-articular osteoid osteoma further increase difficulty in making the diagnosis. To date, there has been no description of intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the intermediate cuneiform bone causing articular degeneration in any published literatures. We present a case of intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the intermediate cuneiform bone causing articular degeneration, who underwent curettage, allograft bone graft, and navicular-cuneiform arthrodesis. The patient presented with radiographic bone union, full motor function recovery and pain-free at the 22-month follow-up. This report adds to the existing literature. Intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the intermediate cuneiform bone causing articular degeneration is an exceedingly rare and easily missed cause of foot pain. It proves a complicated and challenging task to identify intra-articular osteoid osteoma. Clinicians should be particularly careful not to exclude the possibility of arthritis and, thus, vigilant when choosing the surgical option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tarsal navicular bone stress injuries (BSIs) are considered "high risk" because of prolonged healing times and higher rates of nonunion in adult populations but, to our knowledge, have not been comprehensively examined in adolescent athletes. PURPOSE To describe the characteristics of tarsal navicular BSIs in adolescents. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients aged 10 to 19 years with a radiographically diagnosed tarsal navicular BSI was performed at 8 academic centers over a 9-year study period. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), primary sport, physical examination findings, imaging, treatment, surgical technique, return-to-sport time, and complications were analyzed. RESULTS Among 110 patients (mean age, 14.7 ± 2.7 years; 65% female), common primary sports were cross-country/track and field (29/92 [32%]) and gymnastics/dance (25/92 [27%]). Grade 4 BSIs were identified in 44% (48/110) of patients, with fracture lines present on radiography or magnetic resonance imaging. Nonoperative treatment (mean age, 14.4 ± 2.6 years), consisting of protected weightbearing and either a protective boot (69/88 [78%]) or a cast (19/88 [22%]), was trialed in all patients and was successful in 94 patients (85%). Operative treatment (mean age, 17.1 ± 1.4 years) was ultimately pursued for 16 patients (15%). Patients who required surgery had a higher BMI and a higher percentage of fracture lines present on imaging (nonoperative: 36/94 [38%]; operative: 14/16 [88%]). The median time to return to weightbearing, running, and full sport was significantly longer in duration for the operative group than the nonoperative group (P <.05). Complications associated with surgery included 1 case each of delayed union, nonunion, and painful implants, the latter of which required secondary surgery. CONCLUSION Adolescent tarsal navicular BSIs were identified most commonly in female patients in leanness sports. Adolescents who required surgery were more likely to be older, have higher BMIs, and have grade 4 BSIs, and they returned to sport within a median of 5 months after single- or double-screw fixation with a low risk of postoperative complications. A better understanding of the presenting signs and symptoms and appropriate diagnostic imaging of navicular BSIs may lead to an earlier diagnosis and improved outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tarsal coalition is one of the most common foot and ankle pathologies in children, yet there is no consensus regarding what to interpose after resection. Fibrin glue could be considered, but the literature comparing fibrin glue to other interposition types is sparse. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of fibrin glue for interposition compared with fat graft by analyzing the rate of coalition recurrence and wound complications. We hypothesized that fibrin glue would have similar rates of coalition recurrence and fewer wound complications compared with fat graft interposition. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed examining all patients who underwent a tarsal coalition resection at a free-standing children's hospital in the United States from 2000 to 2021. Only patients undergoing isolated primary tarsal coalition resection with interposition of fibrin glue or fat graft were included. Wound complications were defined as any concern for an incision site that prompted the use of antibiotics. Comparative analyses were conducted using χ 2 and Fisher exact test to examine relationships among interposition type, coalition recurrence, and wound complications. RESULTS One hundred twenty-two tarsal coalition resections met our inclusion criteria. Fibrin glue was used for interposition in 29 cases and fat graft was used in 93 cases. The difference in the coalition recurrence rate between fibrin glue and fat graft interposition was not statistically significant (6.9% vs. 4.3%, P =0.627). The difference in wound complication rate between fibrin glue and fat graft interposition was not statistically significant (3.4% vs 7.5%, P = 0.679). CONCLUSION Fibrin glue interposition after tarsal coalition resection is a viable alternative to fat graft interposition. Fibrin glue has similar rates of coalition recurrence and wound complications when compared with fat grafts. Given our results and the lack of tissue harvesting required with fibrin glue, fibrin glue may be superior to fat grafts for interposition after tarsal coalition resection. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, a retrospective comparative study between treatment groups.

Abstract
A stable medial column is important to the normal function of the foot and ankle. Medial column instability and forefoot varus can result in compensatory hindfoot motion leading to stress along the medial soft-tissue structures. Medial column stabilization should therefore be considered when (1) forefoot varus deformity is identified following hindfoot realignment; (2) pronounced medial column instability is present, even in the absence of forefoot varus; and (3) when degenerative changes are present within the medial column articulations. Common surgical procedures include arthrodesis of the talonavicular joint, naviculocuneiform joint, and first tarsometatarsal joint, as well as osteotomy of the medial cuneiform (Cotton osteotomy).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was not only to examine the attachment site but also to quantify the effect of the tibialis posterior tendon (TPT) on each attachment site by examining the surface area of the attachment region. METHODS We examined 100 feet from 50 Japanese cadavers. The TPT attachment to the navicular bone (NB), medial cuneiform bone (MCB), and lateral cuneiform bone (LCB) were set as the main attachment sites (Type I). The attachment seen in Type I with the addition of one additional site of attachment was defined as Type II. Furthermore, surface area was measured using a three-dimensional scanner. RESULTS Attachment to the NB, MCB, and LCB was present in all specimens. The TPT attachment to the NB, MCB, and LCB comprised 75.1% of total attachment surface area. The ratio of the NB, MCB, and LCB in each type was about 90% in Types II and III, and 70-80% in Types IV-VII. CONCLUSION The quantitative results demonstrated the NB, MCB, and LCB to be the main sites of TPT attachment, although individual differences in attachment sites exist, further developing the findings of previous studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze radiological characteristics of Muller-Weiss disease, evaluate the clinical value of the imaging examination in diagnosis of Muller-Weiss disease. METHODS The imaging data of 26 patients with Muller-Weiss disease were collected from September 2015 to August 2020, including 7 males and 19 females, aged 43 to 68 years old with an average of (52.7±4.6) years old. In the X-ray examination observed the shape and position of the navicular bone. The talar-first metatarsal angle(TFM) was measured on the weight-bearing anteroposterior radiograph. The arch angle and angle between mid-axis of talus and mid-axis of the first metatarsal(Meary angle) were measured on the weight-bearing lateral radiographs. The morphology, density, adjacent joint space and position of the navicular bone were evaluated by computed tomography(CT), and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) was used to observe the shape, signal, cartilage and surrounding soft tissue changes of the navicular bone. RESULTS Among 26 patients, 21 cases were unilateral and 5 cases were bilateral;X-ray examination showed that the lateral part of navicular bone of foot was compressed and flattened, showing"comma like"or"drop like", navicular moved to the medial side, partial fragmentation of bone, peripheral articular hyperplasia, uneven density and narrowing of relationship gap. According to Meary angle and deformity degree of the affected foot on the lateral X-ray of the load-bearing foot, Maceira staging was performed. There were 0 cases in stageⅠ, 2 cases in stage Ⅱ, 11 cases in stage Ⅲ, 9 cases in stage Ⅳand 4 cases in stage Ⅴ. CT examination showed bone fragmentation, medial displacement of navicular bone and formation of the talocalcaneal joint. MRI examination showed the irregular shape and uneven signal of navicular bone, narrowing of joint space, talocalcaneal joint surface hyperplasia and cartilage destruction, tarsal joint effusion and swelling of surrounding soft tissue. CONCLUSION Muller-Weiss disease has specific imaging manifestation, and an accurate diagnosis can be made based on the patient's age, gender, and clinincal history. Preoperative imaging examination can stage the disease, help clinicians to formulate better surgical plans, and postoperative imaging examination can better evaluate the surgical effect.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to report the operative outcomes in a consecutive series of adolescent patients with symptomatic accessory navicular (AN). A retrospective review was conducted. Patient characteristics, operative techniques, and outcomes were recorded. Radiographs were used to identify the type of AN, skeletal maturity, and presence of concurrent pes planus. Twenty-two patients and 24 feet were studied. All 22 patients had an excision of the AN, and 19 patients had an additional reefing of the tibialis posterior tendon. At final follow up, 22 cases reported no pain, one had minimal pain, and one reported no change in pain. Symptomatic AN is more common in females. Surgery technique was not correlated with postoperative pain. Surgery eliminated pain in 91% of patients and can be safely performed in athletes with high rate of return to their previous athletic performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) after resection of tarsal coalitions are sparse. This cross-sectional study evaluates the outcome after resection of tarsal coalitions in children using the validated Oxford Foot and Ankle Questionnaire (OxAFQ). METHODS Tarsal coalition patients between 5-16 years of age from Aarhus University Hospital (Denmark) and The Royal London Hospital (United Kingdom) were included. The patients were identified using patient and theatre register. All patients and proxies filled in the PROM: OxAFQ-C and OxAFQ-proxy respectively. The scores were calculated within each domain and reported as means (95% confidence intervals). Talocalcaneal coalitions were compared to calcaneonavicular coalition with regard to OxAFQ score and re-operation rate. RESULTS 27 patients and their proxies returned 54 questionnaires in total regarding 36 feet. Mean time from surgery to filling of the questionnaire was 25 (21-30) months. The relative mean OxAFQ score was higher in the School and Play and Emotional domain than the Physical domain, p = 0.007. The OxAFQ scores and re-operation rates were similar for both coalitions, p=0.63. CONCLUSION The OxAFQ PROM showed more encouraging results in playing or emotional health status than the physical health status. The outcome for both types of coalitions is similar.Level of Evidence: IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to report the outcomes of coalition resection in adults with naviculo-medial cuneiform (NC) coalition. METHODS Seventeen adults (20 feet) who underwent NC coalition resection were identified. The location and morphology of coalitions and five angular parameters, including medial arch sag angle (MASA), were assessed on weightbearing radiographs. Pre- and postoperative visual analogue scale and foot function index were evaluated for clinical outcomes. RESULTS Most feet (19 out of 20) had a coalition at the plantar-medial aspect, and there was no radiographic evidence of residual NC joint space compromise. There was no radiographic evidence of medial arch sag (MASA, p = 0.749) or recurrence at the final follow-up (21.7 months, range 12 to 48). Clinical scores improved significantly in all patients. CONCLUSIONS Resection of NC coalition in adults can be successful and provides an option to arthrodesis when conservative treatments have failed.

Abstract
CASE DESCRIPTION A 5-year-old 4.0-kg (8.8-lb) castrated male domestic shorthair cat was referred because of grade 4/5 left hind limb lameness and swelling in the region of the second metatarsal bone of that limb. CLINICAL FINDINGS Computed tomography revealed an expansile osteolytic lesion of the second metatarsal bone associated with a periosteal reaction on the third metatarsal bone. There was no evidence of metastases. TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Amputation of the second and third metatarsal bones was performed but resulted in medial instability of the remaining metatarsal bones. The instability was treated by placing a loop of 2-0 monofilament, nonabsorbable suture from a screw placed in the distal row of the tarsal bones to a tunnel in the proximal metaphysis of the fourth metatarsal bone. Clinical reevaluation of the cat 7, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 210 days after surgery and radiographic reevaluation 90 and 210 days after surgery showed complete recovery of the cat. The implants were removed at the time of the 7-month reevaluation. Clinical evaluation 18 months after implant removal showed the treated joint to be stable. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The surgical stabilization technique described here provided medial stability of the tarsometatarsal joint after amputation of the second and third metatarsal bones. This method may be an alternative to arthrodesis while maintaining articular function in cats.

Abstract
CASE A 17-year-old high school rugby player complained of right midfoot pain for 18 months. Radiographs showed severe osteoarthritic changes in the right talonavicular joint. A navicular fracture, talonavicular joint narrowing, a talar head cyst, and proximal navicular fragmentation were detected on computed tomography (CT). The patient underwent removal of the osteochondral fragments and fracture reduction and returned to rugby 8 months postoperatively. CT showed a remodeling of the talonavicular joint 2 years postoperatively. CONCLUSION In a young athlete, reconstruction of the talonavicular joint should be attempted before joint fusion, even if the joint shows signs of secondary osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Isolated osteomyelitis of the cuboid bone is an extremely rare condition. A 32 year old man was evaluated for a painful and swollen right foot after a penetrating trauma and the presence of a sinus in the lateral aspect the midfoot. MRI findings were consistent with the presence of cuboid osteomyelitis. The patient underwent a two stage procedure which included partial excision of the cuboid bone, the use of a cemented spacer for lateral column length preservation, followed by arthrodesis of the calcaneocuboid joint with a tricortical autologous bone graft harvested from the ilium and preservation of the cuboid-metatarsal joints. At 4 years follow up, the patient is asymptomatic. Diagnosis of isolated cuboid osteomyelitis requires high clinical suspicion and a two stage procedure is an effective approach for symptomatic patients who do not respond to conservative treatment. LEVEL OF CLINICAL EVIDENCE: IV.

Abstract
The management guidelines of gunshot wound (GSW) injuries to the lower extremities have primarily been described more recently in the literature. A navicular fracture with adjacent joint involvement is presented from a GSW with initial external fixation management to prevent loss of anatomical alignment and successful staged definitive treatment with internal fixation. Based on previous experiences with rearfoot joint involvement from GSW injuries, we were able to direct definitive treatment with arthrodesis of violated joints. After a 1-year follow-up, the patient has returned to normal activities without any limitations. This case report demonstrates a stepwise approach to management of an open navicular fracture secondary to a GSW.

Abstract
A 9-year-old girl presented to the emergency department reporting intense pain and inability to bear weight on her left foot after a classmate tripped over it. Imaging studies confirmed a fracture of the cuboid bone due to compression of the lateral column of the foot (also known as nutcracker fracture). The patient was treated surgically, with direct reduction of the compression fracture and definitive fixation with two Kirschner wires. Cuboid nutcracker fracture is rare in children and adolescents, and potential consequences can occur if it is not correctly diagnosed and adequately managed. Literature on this type of fracture is scarce, along with information on treatment options and results over medium-term and long-term follow-up. We describe this case and review the literature on this particular topic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The therapeutic outcome of the local arthrodesis surgery for type 2 accessory navicula (AN) is rarely reported. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between Kidner and arthrodesis procedures for type 2 AN. METHODS Sixteen patients (20 feet) with symptomatic type 2 AN receiving surgical treatment in our hospital between November 2013 and December 2015 were retrospectively included. Ten patients (13 feet) underwent the Kidner surgery (Kidner group) and 6 patients received local arthrodesis procedure (arthrodesis group). Radiographic indices before/after surgery were compared between the two groups. Patient's satisfaction with surgery outcome was evaluated by patient self-assessment questionnaire. RESULTS The calcaneal pitch angle was significantly increased after surgery in both groups (bothp<0.01), while the talocalcaneal coverage angle and lateral talo-first metatarsal angle were not significantly changed after surgery. There was no significant difference regarding the postoperative changes in the three radiographic indices between the two groups. In the arthrodesis group, 3 patients (4 feet) had an excellent outcome, 2 patients (2 feet) a good outcome, and 1 patient (1 foot) had a fair outcome. In the Kidner group, 6 patients (8 feet), 2 patients (3 feet), 1 patient (1 foot) and 1 patient (1 foot) had excellent, good, fair, and poor treatment outcomes, respectively. The rate of good-to-excellent outcomes was comparable between the arthrodesis group and Kidner group (83% vs. 80%, p=0.696). CONCLUSION Our results suggested that both the Kidner surgery and arthrodesis surgery were an effective treatment for symptomatic type 2 AN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the foot and ankle subspecialty continues to grow in orthopaedics, trends in published literature provide valuable insights to help understand and strengthen the field. The current study evaluates the changes in the characteristics of foot and ankle articles in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (American Volume) (JBJS-A) from 2004 to 2018. METHODS Foot and ankle-related articles in JBJS-A from 2004 to 2018 were identified and categorized by type of study, level of evidence, number of authors, academic degree(s) of the first and last authors, male and female authorship, number of citations, number of references, region of publication, and use of patient-reported outcomes (PROs). RESULTS A total of 336 foot and ankle articles from 2004 to 2018 were reviewed. The type of study published has changed over time, with more clinical therapeutic evidence and less case reports. The level of evidence grades, as rated by JBJS-A and objective evaluators, have increased over the past 15 years. The total number of authors per article has increased, and female authorship has increased significantly. The number of references per article has increased, and the number of citations per year has decreased. The field of foot and ankle surgery has seen an increase in global publications. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that the foot and ankle literature that has been published in JBJS-A has continued to increase in quality and diversity over the past 15 years.

Abstract
We report a unique case of the total loss of the intermediate cuneiform by posttraumatic avascular necrosis resulting from a left foot open fracture and dislocation of the navicular bone and medial and intermediate cuneiforms at the Chopart and Lisfranc joints in a 64-year-old woman. The injury was managed with open reduction and internal fixation with Kirschner wires and cannulated screws. During postoperative follow-up, we observed avascular necrosis of the intermediate cuneiform and the total loss of the bone. An extensive English literature search revealed only one case report published on this topic. Thus, we provide this case study to help guide clinical decision making in the future.

Abstract
CASE A 17-year-old boy with a history of chronic bilateral navicular osteonecrosis with fragmentation was treated with 6-month staged bilateral open reduction and internal fixation of tarsal navicular with debridement of the necrotic bone and ipsilateral medial femoral condyle vascularized bone grafting. CONCLUSION The patient progressed to full painless weight-bearing on each extremity by 4 months postoperatively with osseous union of both chronic fracture sites and incorporation of vascularized bone grafts. Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores were improved from preoperative levels at 6 months from each operation. This patient's atypical presentation of a rare disease was successfully treated with the utilization of vascularized bone grafting to salvage the tarsal navicular and preserve the talonavicular joint, enabling return of function and avoidance of early arthrodesis procedure.

Abstract
The giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a benign lesion most commonly attached to the tendons and bones of the fingers, hands, and wrists. The involvement of GCTTS to the foot is uncommon. The GCTTS invading tarsal bones and intertarsal joints is not described yet, and the appropriate diagnosis and treatment remain unclear. We report a case of GCTTS with the involvement of tarsal bones and intertarsal joint. Computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging were used to further diagnose and evaluate the quality and range of tumor. The patient was treated with surgical excision of the tumor without application of bone graft. After adequate clearance of the tumor, the patient returned to an asymptomatic walk in 3 months. No malfunction, fracture, or tumor recurrence was found in 2-years follow-up. This report includes clinical, radiologic, histologic diagnostic, and surgical challenges in an unexpected lesion and a review of the literature.

Abstract
A case presentation of an adolescent with tarsal navicular avascular necrosis is presented. External fixation with tarsal navicular diastasis is a simple, straightforward management option to allow osseous regrowth and bone healing. In this case, the external fixator was well tolerated and the patient demonstrated a quick return to function without pain or discomfort. The external fixation technique with tarsal navicular diastasis is an uncommon but effective means of reversing the tarsal navicular avascular process and avoiding an open technique such as arthrodesis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION First tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint fusion is routinely used for arthritis and deformities. Common fixation methods include a locking plate construct, cross-screws, or combinations of the two. Cross screws have proven effective for union and stability; however, there is a potential for harm to nearby neurovascular structures due to the nature of percutaneous insertion technique. This study assessed risk of damage to the superficial peroneal nerve with percutaneous TMT fusion. METHODS Nine fresh-frozen cadaver specimens were included. A medial incision in the internervous plane was made for TMT joint preparation. Two crossed percutaneous wires followed by 4.0 cc screws were placed in the dorsal aspect of the proximal aspect of first metatarsal and in the medial cuneiform. Both were 10-15 mm from the TMT joint line. The dorsal aspect of the foot was dissected and examined for neurovascular interruptions, particularly branches of the superficial peroneal nerve. RESULTS Results showed a mean distance of 4.33 mm from the proximal pin to the medial branch of the superficial peroneal nerve. The distal pin had a mean distance of 6.44 mm from the medial branch, with one pin 9 mm from the lateral branch. One incident of direct injury to the neurovascular bundle was observed. CONCLUSION Preparing the joint from the medial side using a percutaneous approach is less invasive, but presents a relative risk for neuritis. Care should be taken during insertion of the percutaneous screw after TMT joint preparation for fusion. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level V, cadaver study.

Abstract
There is no consensus regarding the references to determine the exact location of the skin incision to minimize iatrogenic sural nerve injury in the sinus tarsi approach for calcaneal fracture.The purpose of this cadaveric study was to describe the anatomical course of the sural nerve in relation to easily identifiable landmarks during the sinus tarsi approach and to provide a more practical reference for surgeons to avoid sural nerve injury.Twenty-four foot and ankle specimens were dissected. The bony landmarks used in the following reference points were the tip of the lateral malleolus (point A), lateral border of the Achilles tendon on the collinear line with point A (point B), posteroinferior apex of the calcaneus (point C), inferior margin of the calcaneus on the plumb line through point A (point D), and tip of the fifth metatarsal base (point E). After careful dissection, the distances of the sural nerve to points A and B in the horizontal direction (lines D1 and D2), points A and C in the diagonal direction (lines D3 and D4), points A and D in the vertical direction (lines D5 and D6), and points A and E in the diagonal direction (lines D7 and D8) were measured.The median ratio of D1 to D1+D2, D3 to D3+D4, D5 to D5+D6, and D7 to D7+D8 were 0.37 (range, 0.26-0.50), 0.23 (range, 016-0.33), 0.35 (range, 0.25-0.45), and 0.32 (range, 0.20-0.45), respectively.The distance ratios from this study can be helpful to avoid sural nerve injury during the sinus tarsi approach for calcaneal fractures. Established standard incision may have to be modified to minimize sural nerve injury.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has the objective to maintain the range of motion of the tibiotarsal joint and to preserve the nearby joints. However, the complication rate and failures remain quite high after TAA. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the improvement in the functional scores of the tibiotarsal arthrodesis after TAA failure. The secondary objective was to assess the specific complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS This monocentric retrospective series includes 12 patients (nine men, three women, average age 52.5 years) operated between 2003 and 2018. An iliac graft was used in all cases. The arthrodesis was stabilized either by screws or by retrograde nailing. RESULTS The reoperation was due to painful malleolar conflicts or loosening. The AOFAS score increased from 38/100 to 67/100 (51-86) post-operatively. The fusion was acquired at 3.7 months (3-6) except in two cases. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The 83% primary fusion rate is in the low average of the literature and 92% fusion rate in the high average after reoperation. All patients were improved even in two non-unions. The results of this study confirm that the arthrodesis after TAA failure is a reliable alternative to the TAA replacement. However, they are lower than those after a first-line arthrodesis.

Abstract
CASE A 21-year-old, active duty male sustained an irreducible, complex Lisfranc fracture-dislocation with distal extrusion of his intermediate cuneiform. He was treated in a staged manner with external fixator placement, followed by an extended midfoot fusion with autograft bone. At 19 months, he could perform all activities of daily living independently with minimal pain using an Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis. CONCLUSIONS Complex Lisfranc injuries are severe and often result in chronic pain and disability after operative management. To our knowledge, this is the only case report describing a Lisfranc fracture-dislocation with a distally extruded intermediate cuneiform treated with a fusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of malignant tumours of the distal tibia is a challenging surgical problem due to the scarce soft tissue coverage and the instability of the ankle joint that often occurs after resection. However, there is no consensus on the ideal treatment for malignant tumours of the distal tibia. METHODS We report a new reconstruction for five patients with high-grade osteosarcoma of distal tibia, using dual ipsilateral vascularized autogenous fibular graft in a trapezoid-shaped array and external fixator, with ankle arthrodesis and preserving subtalar joints. The patients were examined clinically and radiographically. RESULTS The average follow-up duration was 88 months. The mean wound healing time was 14 days. Bone healing was achieved for all the five patients at an average time of 7 months. There were no complications of mal-union, skin necrosis, post-operative infection, loss of internal fixation, peroneal nerve injury. One patient had a local recurrence, which required amputation 15 months postoperatively. The remaining four patients were able to walk with an average functional score of 81.25% according to MSTS. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that this technique is safe and effective to perform implantation of dual ipsilateral vascularized autogenous fibular graft in a trapezoid-shaped array and preserving subtalar joints in terms of the distal tibial reconstruction for malignant bone tumour of the distal tibia. This reconstruction represents a biological alternative protocol for limb salvage in cases of malignant bone tumour of the distal tibia, with encouraging results and with the advantages of lower complications and accelerating recovery.

Abstract
A Lisfranc injury is when one or more of the metatarsals are displaced from the tarsus. The term is more commonly used to describe an injury to the midfoot, centred on the 2nd tarso-metatarsal joint. These fractures are sometimes easily overlooked, especially if they are part of a polytrauma. They are often difficult to diagnose and treat, but if they go undetected and are not properly treated, they can cause long-term or chronic disability. Our team reviewed a group of 71 patients with a Lisfranc fracture dislocation. The lesions were classified according to Meyerson classification. All the patients were re-evaluated 3 years after their surgeries by clinical examination, Ankle-Hindfoot Scale AOFAS questionnaire, X-rays and baropodometric analysis. This review outlines the treatment outcome of this injury, taking into consideration the timing of diagnosis.

Abstract
Quantitative bone SPECT/CT (single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography) using Tc-99m hydroxymethylene diphosphonate is emerging as a useful imaging modality for skeletal diseases. Accessory navicular bone (ANB) has been evaluated by bone scintigraphy only qualitatively and semiquantitatively. However, a truly objective quantitative assessment of ANB is lacking. Here, we measured the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the ANB and investigated its usefulness as an imaging biomarker for ANB.Consecutive quantitative bone SPECT/CT studies that had been performed on the foot were retrospectively analyzed. One hundred five patients (male:female = 44:61; median age = 32.0 [range, 11-81] years old; 31 negative controls without ANB and 74 patients with ANB [7 unilateral and 67 bilateral]) and their 210 feet were investigated. The ANBs were classified into types I, II, III (Geist classification), and 0 (contralateral navicular of unilateral ANB). Type II ANBs were subclassified into II-1 (with bony abnormality) or II-0 (without bony abnormality). The treatment modality was observation, conservative treatment, or surgical removal. The associations between the SUVmax and clinical findings, including surgery, were investigated.Patients with type II-1 ANB had the highest SUVmax among all ANB types (P < .001). The SUVmax of symptomatic ANB was greater than that for asymptomatic ANB (P < .001), and the SUVmax for the surgically resected ANB group was also significantly higher than that for the observation only or conservative treatment group (P < .001). Subtype II-1 had a significantly higher SUVmax compared with subtype II-0 (P < .001). Logistic regression analyses in type II ANB showed that young age (P = .020) and SUVmax (P = .031) were significant predictors for surgery. Receiver operating characteristic curve and survival analyses revealed an optimal SUVmax cutoff of 5.27 g/mL for predicting final surgical treatment.SUVmax derived from quantitative bone SPECT/CT was strongly associated with symptom, surgical treatment, and a known high-risk type of ANB. Risk stratification for final surgical treatment of ANB can be achieved using the SUVmax from quantitative bone SPECT/CT.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Background Residual forefoot supination after correcting the hindfoot in stage IIb adult-acquired flatfoot deformity can be addressed with a dorsal opening wedge medial cuneiform (Cotton) osteotomy. The amount of correction is generally judged clinically, and there currently are no preoperative guides that can predict the size of graft needed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between patient and operative factors and the correction achieved with the Cotton osteotomy. METHODS Seventy-nine feet in 74 patients undergoing Cotton osteotomy as part of flatfoot reconstruction were reviewed retrospectively. Preoperative and minimum 40-week postoperative lateral foot weightbearing radiographs were compared to assess correction of longitudinal arch collapse as measured by 13 radiographic parameters, with particular emphasis on the cuneiform articular angle (CAA). Additional demographic and intraoperative variables analyzed for association with radiographic change included age, gender, body mass index, amounts and graft types of Cotton osteotomy and lateral column lengthening, and amount of medializing calcaneal osteotomy. A multivariate linear regression model was developed for each variable found to be significant in univariate analysis. RESULTS The Cotton osteotomy graft size was significantly associated with changes in the CAA ( P < .001), calcaneal pitch ( P = .03), lateral talonavicular Cobb angle ( P = .03), and lateral naviculomedial cuneiform Cobb angle ( P = .03). The Cotton graft size was the only factor found to significantly predict a change in the CAA in the final linear regression model ( P < .001, R2 = 0.27), with each millimeter of Cotton corresponding to a 2.1-degree decrease of the CAA. CONCLUSION Correction of longitudinal arch collapse, as measured by the CAA, was primarily influenced by the size of the graft used for the Cotton osteotomy in a linear fashion. The preoperative CAA may help surgeons titrate the proper amount of graft placed intraoperatively. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, Retrospective Case Series.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluation of clinical findings and audiological outcome after surgery in a Danish family with autosomal dominant facio-audio-symphalangism syndrome with stapes fixation, syndactyly and symphalangism. METHODS Retrospective report on eight affected family members in a Danish family. Clinical investigation included X-ray, audiology and in one case video-recorded surgery. Main outcome measure was audiologic results after stapedectomy. Sanger DNA sequencing of NOG was performed on peripheral blood. RESULTS Audiologic analysis showed that seven of eight affected family members had bilateral conductive hearing loss. Three patients were treated with stapedectomy, on one or both ears, due to fixation of stapes. All the affected members had syndactyly and symphalangism. A not previously reported mutation in the NOG gene (c.688_699del, p.Cys230_Cys232delins11) was found to segregate with the stapes fixation, syndactyly, and symphalangism. p.Cys230_Cysdelins11 was classified as likely pathogenic according to guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. CONCLUSION The clinical presentation of the reported mutation corresponds with previous case reports of families with NOG mutation. In this family, surgery with stapedectomy had lasting effect without renewed fixation of the stapes in a follow up period of 18 months-38 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The tibialis anterior tendon has its insertion sites on both the medial and plantar surfaces of the medial cuneiform and the base of the first metatarsal. Operative procedures near those areas, especially at the first metatarsocuneiform joint, may disturb tendon insertions and cause irritation or functional impairment of the tendon. METHODS Tibialis anterior tendons and their insertion sites were dissected and examined from 46 cadaveric feet (19 female and 27 male cadavers, aged between 33 and 86 years, with a mean of 68.5 ± 14.3 years). The greatest lengths and widths of the tendon attachments on the bony surface of the medial cuneiform and base of the first metatarsal, on both the medial and plantar surfaces, were measured and analyzed. The measurement reliability was evaluated by using the intraclass correlation coefficient. RESULTS Most of the tibialis anterior tendon insertions were found to be longer at the medial cuneiform than at the base of the first metatarsal (mean, 8.3 and 5.4 mm; P < .001), but the widths were almost similar (mean, 11.0 and 10.4 mm; P = .079). When focusing on each bone, the widths of the tendon attachments on the medial and plantar surfaces of the medial cuneiform were equivalent (mean, 5.4 and 5.6 mm; P = .584). At the base of the first metatarsal, the tendon attachment on the plantar surface was found to be wider than on the medial surface (mean, 7.0 and 3.4 mm; P < .001). CONCLUSION The widths of the tibialis anterior tendon insertions on the medial and plantar surfaces of the medial cuneiform were equal, as were the total widths of insertions on the medial cuneiform and on the base of the first metatarsal. However, the width of insertions on the medial surface of the first metatarsal was significantly smaller than on the plantar surface, and the total length of insertions at the medial cuneiform was longer than at the first metatarsal. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study provides information about characteristics of the tibialis anterior tendon insertions, particularly details of the dimensions on each surface of the bones. This knowledge enables surgeons to minimize the risk of irritation or tendon injuries during operations near the base of the first metatarsal and medial cuneiform area.

Abstract
The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of the quality of life in the treatment of fractures of the bones of the lower extremities of various localizations using transosseous and submerged osteosynthesis. We examined 397 patients with injuries of the lower segment of the lower extremity (patellar fractures - 81, multiple bones fractures of the tibia - 84 and fractures of the ankles, accompanied by a dislocation of the foot - 232). Patients were distributed in the subgroups depending on the treatment. The main group was performed using transosseous osteosynthesis, the comparison group - submerged osteosynthesis. The quality of life was examined using a general questionnaire SF-36 and specialized KOOS (with patella fractures) and FOAS (fractures of the bones of the lower leg and ankles). In patients with all localizations of fractures the quality of life was exceeded in the subgroups of the transosseous osteosynthesis group over the parameters of the comparison group. The most significant differences with the use of specialized questionnaires were revealed 6-9 months after trauma with a tendency to leveling to the end of the study (1 year). A more pronounced excess of the quality of life in the main group was seen in fractures of the shin bones. The study of the quality of life allows us to recommend the use of transosseous osteosynthesis for the treatment of lower segment of the lower limb bone fractures.

Abstract
There has been debate recently as to whether the lateral column is actually short in the acquired flatfoot. Doubters argue that it is not possible for the lateral column to change in length and actually shorten, especially in the acquired type. In this series of 21 consecutive patients operated on for an acquired flatfoot, the calcaneocuboid joint (CC) had remodeled in all, resulting in the calcaneal side being short, facing laterally and dorsally. These findings give evidence to the rationale for performing a lateral column lengthening (LCL) proximal to the CC joint to treat the acquired flatfoot. When performing a LCL, one should attempt to restore length to the calcaneal side of the joint and to redirect it medially and plantarward.

Abstract
Os subtibiale is a rare accessory ossicle located at the tip of the medial malleolus. Although this small ossicle usually has no clinical significance, in some cases it may be a source of ankle pain. Symptomatic os subtibiale is an extremely rare diagnosis, and few cases have been reported to date. The case presented is of a 35-year-old female patient with symptomatic os subtibiale, with a discussion of the diagnosis, clinical findings, and treatment options.

Abstract
Background Arthrodesis of the medial column (navicular, cuneiform I and metatarsal I) is performed for reasons such as Charcot arthropathy, arthritis, posttraumatic reconstruction or severe pes planus. However, the complication rate is still high and mainly resulting from inadequate fixation. Special plates, designed for medial column arthrodesis, seem to offer potential to reduce the complication rate. The aim of this study was to investigate biomechanically plantar and dorsomedial fusion of the medial column using two new plating systems. Methods Eight matched pairs of human cadaveric lower legs were randomized in two groups and medial column fusion was performed using either plantar or dorsomedial variable-angle locking compression plates. The specimens were biomechanically tested under cyclic progressively increasing axial loading with physiological profile of each cycle. In addition to the machine data, mediolateral x-rays were taken every 250 cycles and motion tracking was performed to determine movements at the arthrodesis site. Statistical analysis of the parameters of interest was performed at a level of significance p = 0.05. Results Displacement of the talo-navicular joint after 1000, 2000 and 4000 cycles was significantly lower for plantar plating (p≤0.039) while there was significantly less movement in the naviculo-cuneiform I joint for dorsal plating post these cycle numbers (p<0.001). Displacements in all three joints of the medial column, as well as angular and torsional deformations between the navicular and metatarsal I increased significantly for each plating technique between 1000, 2000 and 4000 cycles (p≤0.021). The two plating systems did not differ significantly with regard to stiffness and cycles to failure (p≥0.171). Conclusion From biomechanical point of view, although dorsomedial plating showed less movement than plantar plating in the current setup under dynamic loading, there was no significant difference between the two plating systems with regard to stiffness and cycles to failure. Both tested techniques for dorsomedial and plantar plating appear to be applicable for arthrodesis of the medial column of the foot and other considerations, such as access morbidity, associated deformities or surgeon's preference, may also guide the choice of plating pattern. Further clinical studies are necessary before definitive recommendations can be given.

Abstract
Traumatic dislocation of an intact tarsal navicular is an uncommon injury. In this article, we report a case of open medial navicular dislocation in a 45-year-old man. The injury was managed with open reduction and stabilization with Kirschner wires within the acute period. Ten months after injury, the patient developed avascular necrosis of the navicular and exhibited progressive collapse of the medial midfoot. He underwent naviculocuneiform arthrodesis 1 year after the index surgery. Two years after fusion, he was pain-free and ambulating independently. Successful treatment of midfoot fractures and dislocations requires an intimate understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and both short- and long-term sequelae of injury.

Abstract
Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are rare and they represent 1- 1.4 % of all primary bone tumors. ABC of cuboid bone are extremely rare, especially in children. Very few cases have been reported in the literature since 1967. We present a case of pathological fracture of cuboid bone due to an aneurysmal cyst in a 10-year-old girl. Surgery was performed, which included open biopsy with aspiration and intralesional curettage . Bone defect was then filled in by fully synthetic cancellous bone graft substitute consisting of pure β-tricalcium phosphate. Aneurysmal cyst of cuboid bone with pathological fracture could be successfully treated with pure β-tricalcium phosphate as a bone graft substitute. This procedure is safe with excellent outcome.Follow up to nearly four years did not show any recurrence.

Abstract
High-energy cuboid fractures are rare injuries that are commonly associated with other midfoot trauma. With displacement, operative intervention is critical to restore articular congruity and the length of the lateral column. Failure to achieve this predisposes patients to posttraumatic arthritis and deformity, often necessitating secondary procedures. Although primary open reduction and internal fixation is the standard of care for these injuries, at times the traditional principles of fracture fixation cannot be applied to cuboid fractures. We describe the case of a 45-year-old woman who underwent a reconstructive shelf arthroplasty of the cuboid and fifth tarsometatarsal joint for a severe injury to the lateral column of the midfoot.
