FAI December 2015 Podcast: Non-Invasive Arterial Testing in Patients with Diabetes: a Guide for Foot and Ankle Surgeons 23.03.2016 15:02

This study was designed to compare the findings of noninvasive arterial testing in patients with and without diabetic foot pathology. Combining the ABI (ankle brachial index) with TBI (toe brachial index) improved the ability to diagnose PAD (peripheral artery disease) in diabetic patients because the ABI has high specificity (low false positives) and the TBI has high sensitivity (low false negati...

FAI November 2015 Podcast: Inflammatory Cytokines and Matrix Metalloproteinases in the Synovial Fluid after Intra-Articular Ankle Fracture 23.03.2016 11:15

Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) can occur after intra-articular fracture despite anatomic fracture reduction. It has been hypothesized that an early inflammatory response after intra-articular injury could lead to irreversible cartilage damage that progresses to PTOA. Therefore, in addition to meticulous fracture reduction, it would be ideal to prevent this initial inflammatory response but li...

FAI October 2015 Podcast: Prospective, Multicenter Evaluation of Allogeneic Bone Matrix Containing Viable Osteogenic Cells in Foot and/or Ankle Arthrodesis 21.03.2016 17:45

Cellular bone allograft (CBA) possesses osteogenic, osteoinductive, and osteoconductive elements essential for bone healing. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of CBA in foot and/or ankle arthrodeses. To view the article, click here.

FAI September 2015 Podcast: Surgical treatment of insertional Achilles tendinopathy with or without flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer: A prospective, randomized, study 14.09.2015 14:57

Ligamentous injuries to the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis are predictive of long-term ankle dysfunction. Mild and moderate syndesmotic injuries are difficult to stratify, and the impact of syndesmosis injury on the magnitude and distribution of forces within the ankle joint during athletic activities is unknown. Considerable changes in ankle joint kinematics and contact mechanics may explain why...
