Summary: The study found that injuries to the tibio-fibular syndesmotic and deltoid ligaments have a significant impact on ankle joint stability, with changes in external rotation angle primarily affected by deep deltoid ligament injuries. Identifying specific injury types is crucial for selecting the appropriate surgical treatment.

Summary: Ankle sprains can lead to permanent disability if not well addressed. Acute instabilities are usually conservatively treated, while chronic instabilities are better addressed with surgery. Syndesmosis injuries are often overlooked and may require surgical management to prevent persistent pain.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated 34 cases of deltoid ligament ruptures with associated supination external rotation type IV ankle fractures. The results showed no significant difference in radiographic and clinical outcomes between the deltoid repair and unrepair groups. Syndesmotic reduction may be more important than deltoid repair in regard to mortise restoration and medial stability.

Summary: This retrospective study reported outcomes of fixation of bi-malleolar or trimalleolar fractures combined with syndesmotic injury, and found that removing the syndesmotic screw at 3 months postoperatively is more beneficial for reducing the risk of syndesmotic instability recurrence in trimalleolar fractures.

Summary: Trauma to the soft tissues of the ankle joint can cause instability and arthritis. Traditional fixation methods promote ligament repair but limit normal movement. Removal of fixation screws may benefit patients, but the timing is still uncertain. This study developed a new large animal model for the investigation of clinical foot and ankle implants. The results suggest that the carpometacarpal joint may be a suitable location for orthopedic device research.

Summary: This study aimed to establish three-dimensional anatomical reference values of the ankle syndesmosis based on automated measurements and investigate the symmetry across all three-dimensional measurements. Neural network training and validation were performed to automate the segmentation of ankle models, and both manual and automated measurements were compared. The results showed good agreements between manual and automated measurements, and left-to-right measurements exhibited symmetry. This novel algorithm could overcome the limitations of manual two-dimensional measurements and has significant implications in clinical practice.

Summary: Recent literature has seen a rise in interest in high ankle sprains, with new evidence pointing to similarities between the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee. This raises questions about whether these injuries are identical entities, part of a continuum, or separate injuries, and calls for further investigation into mechanisms of injury, diagnostics, treatment, and outcomes.

Summary: The study found that the ankle flexion angle during anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) reconstruction significantly affects ankle kinematics, laxity, and in situ force of a graft. Ankle kinematics, laxity, and in situ forces were similar to intact ankles when the graft was fixed at 30 degrees of plantar flexion.

Summary: The study found a relationship between the number of FHL tendinous slips and toe flexor strength, with feet lacking FHL branching showing significantly lower strength in the third toe. Therefore, considering the number of FHL tendinous slips in an individual foot may have clinical implications for toe flexor rehabilitation or training.

Summary: This study analyzed the reliability and accuracy of measuring the critical shoulder angle (CSA) using anteroposterior radiographs and a digitally reconstructed true AP view as the gold standard. The results showed high congruence between radiographic CSA measurements, but a significant deviation was observed compared to the true AP view. Therefore, the clinical usefulness and role of CSA in diagnosis need to be carefully considered.

Summary: This prospective single-center observational study investigated the effects of self-motor-control exercise in patients with chronic low back pain. The results showed that self-exercise was effective in improving pain and function, but had no significant effect on muscle mass or alignment. Additionally, strength training alone was not effective for patients with spinal deformities.

Summary: This study aims to assess the number of surgeries required to acquire the necessary skills for independent spine surgery. Through a questionnaire survey, it was found that surgeons who do not perform specific procedures independently require more surgical experience. The results of the study may contribute to the development of more efficient training methods for spine surgeons.

Summary: This study investigated the association between the incidence and severity of DISH with vascular calcification and the occurrence of cardiovascular events in heart failure patients. The results showed a higher incidence of DISH in the cardiovascular events group, and DISH patients had more calcification of the coronary arteries and aorta. These findings suggest a correlation between DISH and cardiovascular events.
