Summary: This study found that the use of TXA in total ankle replacement can safely and effectively reduce perioperative blood loss, early wound infection, and poor healing, without increasing the risk of symptomatic venous thromboembolism. TXA application in total ankle replacement helps improve ankle function and patient quality of life during the early stage.

Summary: This study compared the advantages of Total talar replacement (TTR) and Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) in restoring foot biomechanics during walking through computational simulations. The results showed that TTR better reproduced the joint motions, segment movements, and plantar pressure distribution of an intact foot.

Summary: This study analyzed data from TAA patients and identified significant risk factors for early failure, including chronic pulmonary disease, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, hyperlipidemia, dementia, and alcohol abuse. Surgical indications and preoperative patient counseling should take these factors into consideration.

Summary: Posttraumatic osteoarthritis may require surgical fusion of the ankle joint if non-surgical therapy is unsuccessful. The decision to perform fusion is based on the patient's pain and disability, radiographic imaging, and surgeon experience, without strict guidelines. This study compared outcomes of tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (TTCA) and tibiotalar arthrodesis (TTA) to highlight the importance of the subtalar joint. The results showed significantly worse clinical scores in the TTCA group compared to the TTA group, indicating the need for careful consideration of generous subtalar joint fusion with planned ankle arthrodesis.

Summary: This study analyzed the clinical and radiographic outcomes of 29 revision TAAs performed at a high-volume center in the UK using the INBONE II prosthesis. It found that revision TAA with the INBONE II implant was associated with good short-term survival and improvement in postoperative scores at 2 years.

Summary: This meta-analysis aims to compare the safety and efficacy of total ankle replacement (TAR) and ankle arthrodesis (AA) in different follow-up periods. The results indicate that TAR is superior to AA in the short term, but in the medium and long term, it leads to more complications and revision rates.

Summary: This study found that kinematics of the ankle and talonavicular joint were altered after subtalar arthrodesis in patients with total ankle replacement (TAR). These alterations may affect the contact mechanics at the prosthesis and bone-implant interface, potentially leading to early TAR failure and progression of adjacent joint arthritis in the talonavicular joint.

Summary: This study examined the course and branching pattern of the superior gluteal nerve (SGN) in relation to the direct anterior approach (DAA) and its proximal extensions. The research identified safe and danger zones for the SGN during these procedures, emphasizing the need for caution in instrument placement and manipulations to prevent nerve injury.

Results showed good long-term clinical outcomes in about 2/3 of the patients, with 9 patients achieving excellent functional results. Postoperative limb-length discrepancy was a common complication observed in 3 patients.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of ankle sprain on driving ability, and the results showed that patients generally had sufficient brake reaction time to drive safely four weeks after the incident. Patients with an AOFAS-AHS score of 80 points or above were more likely to have sufficient brake reaction time.

Summary: In the healthcare environment, bandage systems are important for positioning and fixing patients in medical settings. This study compared the mechanical and morphological properties of the iFix patient position system with two commercially available bandages. The iFix showed anisotropic mechanical properties, with a more rigid behavior in the longitudinal direction.

Summary: This study evaluated skiing and snowboarding injuries, the effectiveness of airborne rescue, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a large sample size. The findings indicate that knee injuries are the most common on alpine slopes, with life-threatening injuries being rare. Airborne rescue was found to be time-effective. However, further clinical studies are needed to determine its impact on patient outcomes.

Summary: Comparisons between AI-aided and AI-unaided diagnoses showed that AI-aided diagnoses had a stronger correlation with clinical severity. Specifically, AI-aided diagnoses had higher associations with overall KL score and KOOS. This suggests that AI-guided systems can improve the ratings of knee radiographs and show a stronger association with clinical severity.

Summary: There is limited evidence on the use of brachytherapy in the treatment of soft-tissue sarcomas. Therapy regimens are usually determined through local tumor conferences rather than standardized protocols. Patient-specific factors make it difficult to compare treatment outcomes. This systematic review aims to provide a literary summary of the current evidence for the use of brachytherapy in soft-tissue sarcomas.

Summary: Soft tissue sarcomas are rare malignant tumors originating in the mesenchyme, with over 80 different types identified. This study investigated the local recurrence rate in 35 individuals with soft tissue sarcomas treated at the University Hospital for Orthopaedics Innsbruck from 2010-2016. The treatment regimen consisting of surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy achieved high local control rates for extremities and retroperitoneal sarcomas.

Summary: This study compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of high-tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in patients with unicompartmental, medial osteoarthritis (OA). The results showed that the UKA group had significantly better improvements in pain and function, as well as lower OA progression and higher survivorship compared to the HTO group. However, there were significant differences in the demographics of the two treatments, indicating the challenge of comparing them.
