RESUMEN
Orthopedic surgeons frequently use fluoroscopy and flat plate X-ray in the operating room. As the length of surgeons' careers gets longer, the risk of potential for harm from radiation exposure also grows. Knowledge of the background and science of radiation, the C-arm, and various ways that surgeons can protect themselves is fundamental and should be incorporated into residency education for orthopedic surgery. This review provides information that we hope will better prepare residents in orthopedic surgery to use fluoroscopy and X-rays and protect themselves from radiation risks.

BACKGROUND: The decision regarding total ankle replacement (TAR) is challenging in patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) regarding more inferior bone quality, large bone cysts, and increased risk of infections. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the functional outcome, revision rate, complication rate, and survival rate of TAR between IA (including rheumatoid arthritis [RA]) and noninflammatory arthritis (NIA) (primary and posttraumatic). METHODS: After reviewing the full texts, 30 articles fulfilled all inclusion criteria from 1985 until 2021, comparing TAR results. The eligible studies included 5508 patients, of whom 1565 patients had IA and 3943 patients had NIA. At the time of surgery, the average age was 58 years in the IA group and 63 in the NIA group. The average follow-up was 67.2 months in the IA group and 67 months in the NIA group. The outcome measures were the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and the rate of complications, revisions, and survival. RESULTS: The mean final AOFAS score was 82 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 78-86) in the IA group and 83 (95% CI: 78-88) in the NIA group, with no significant difference. There was no significant difference in the mean preoperative to postoperative AOFAS score change between the IA and the NIA. The complication rate was 16% (95% CI: 9%-27%) in the IA group and 15% (95% CI: 8%-27%) in the NIA group with no significant difference. The revision rate was 12% (95% CI: 10%-15%) in the IA group and 13% (95% CI: 10%-18%) in the NIA group, which was significant (P = .04). There was no significant difference in the survival rate between IA and NIA. CONCLUSION: Total ankle replacement is a safe procedure in inflammatory ankle arthritis, specifically in RA patients with relatively minor and major complications close to other reasons for ankle replacement. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Level IV: prognostic.

BACKGROUND: The evidence supporting best practice guidelines in the field of cartilage repair of the ankle are based on both low quality and low levels of evidence. Therefore, an international consensus group of experts was convened to collaboratively advance toward consensus opinions based on the best available evidence on key topics within cartilage repair of the ankle. The purpose of this article is to report the consensus statements on "Pediatric Ankle Cartilage Lesions" developed at the 2019 International Consensus Meeting on Cartilage Repair of the Ankle. METHODS: Forty-three international experts in cartilage repair of the ankle representing 20 countries convened to participate in a process based on the Delphi method of achieving consensus. Questions and statements were drafted within four working groups focusing on specific topics within cartilage repair of the ankle, after which a comprehensive literature review was performed and the available evidence for each statement was graded. Discussion and debate occurred in cases where statements were not agreed upon in unanimous fashion within the working groups. A final vote was then held, and the strength of consensus was characterised as follows: consensus: 51-74%; strong consensus: 75-99%; unanimous: 100%. RESULTS: A total of 12 statements on paediatric ankle cartilage lesions reached consensus during the 2019 International Consensus Meeting on Cartilage Repair of the Ankle. Five achieved unanimous support, and seven reached strong consensus (>75% agreement). All statements reached at least 84% agreement. CONCLUSIONS: This international consensus derived from leaders in the field will assist clinicians with the management of paediatric ankle cartilage lesions.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between 4-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT)-derived measurements of tibiofibular syndesmosis during active dorsiflexion-plantarflexion motion and the presence of tibiotalar osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: Sixteen ankle joints underwent 4DCT imaging during active dorsiflexion-plantarflexion. Syndesmotic anterior distance (SAD) and syndesmotic translation (ST) were obtained by a foot-and-ankle surgeon. We used Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading to determine tibiotalar OA. RESULTS: Of 16 scanned ankles, 12 ankles had KL ≥2 at the tibiotalar joint. In these ankles, SAD (-0.4, P = 0.02) and ST (-0.9, P = 0.006) measurements significantly changed during the dorsiflexion-plantarflexion motion. Changes in SAD measurements were significantly correlated with the KL grades (correlation coefficient: -0.688, P = 0.003); however, the changes in ST measurements were not significantly correlated with the KL grade. CONCLUSIONS: Our exploratory cross-sectional analysis shows that SAD measurement changes during motion using 4DCT are correlated with the tibiotalar OA grading. This measurement may be used but requires confirmation in larger studies including patients with actual syndesmotic injuries.

BACKGROUND: Achilles tendinopathy is a common cause of posterior ankle and heel pain in both active and sedentary patients. Though the majority of patients respond to first-line non-operative management including activity modification, immobilization, orthotics, and physical therapy with stretching and eccentric strengthening, there is no consensus for patients who fail these treatments. We evaluate the role of iliac crest bone marrow aspirate (BMA) injections as a treatment option for recalcitrant cases. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients with refractory Achilles tendinopathy treated with iliac crest BMA concentrate injection. Symptoms were assessed using the numeric rating system (NRS) pain score at the pre-operative visit and at six, 12, 24, and 48 weeks postoperatively. Post-operative complications were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 15 patients (15 feet) with recalcitrant Achilles tendinopathy (5 insertional, 8 non-insertional, 2 combined) treated with iliac crest BMA concentrate injections were included in the study. Average age was 53.2 years (range, 25 to 64), average BMI was 27.1 kg/m2 (range, 18.4 to 34.4), and average duration of symptoms prior to BMA injection was 2.3 years (range, 1 to 7). Pre-operatively, average NRS was 6.26 (95% CI, 5.04 to 7.49), with significant improvement at six weeks (mean, 4.26; 95% CI, 2.94 to 5.59; p = 0.04), ten weeks (mean, 4.13; 95% CI, 2.91 to 5.35; p = 0.012), 24 weeks (mean, 3.40; 95% CI, 2.05 to 4.75; p = 0.03), and 48 weeks (mean, 2.60; 95% CI, 1.14 to 4.06; p = 0.007) post-operatively. Overall, there was trending improvement over the 48-week follow-up period, with a mean improvement in NRS of - 3.22 (95% CI, - 1.06 to - 5.38; p = 0.007) at final follow-up. There was no discernable difference between insertional and non-insertional tendinopathy, and there were no incidences of post-operative complications. CONCLUSION: Iliac crest BMA appears to be a safe, effective, and potentially lasting treatment option for patients with intractable, insertional and non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy. Patients demonstrated and maintained statistically significant decrease in NRS pain score post-operatively with no complications at the donor or injection site.

BACKGROUND: We investigated the long-term radiographic outcomes of the Cotton osteotomy performed at our institution by the 2 senior authors in conjunction with other reconstruction procedures to correct adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD). METHODS: We retrospectively studied patients who underwent Cotton osteotomy between 2005 and 2010 with minimum 4-year follow-up. Radiographic assessment was made on weightbearing radiographs taken at 4 different time intervals: preoperative, early (first postoperative full weightbearing), intermediate (between 1 and 4 years postoperatively), and final (over 4 years postoperatively). RESULTS: Nineteen patients were included. Final follow-up was 8.6 ± 2.6 years. The lateral talus-first metatarsal angle improved significantly from preoperative to early radiographs (n = 15; mean change: 30 degrees, 95% CI, 21.6-38.7; P < .0001). A significant loss of correction was observed between intermediate and final radiographs (n = 11; mean change: 17 degrees, 95% CI, 8.1-26.4; P < .0001). Of 14 patients with early radiographs, 8 lost >50% of the correction initially achieved. Medial column height decreased by 3.0 mm (95% CI, 1.80-7.90; P = .35) between early radiographs and final follow-up. DISCUSSION: This is the longest reported radiographic follow-up of the Cotton osteotomy performed to address forefoot varus deformity as part of AAFD. The Cotton osteotomy achieved radiographic correction of the medial longitudinal arch at early follow-up, but approximately half of the patients had lost over 50% of that correction at final follow-up. The lengthened angular shape of the cuneiform did not collapse, implying that further collapse occurred through the medial column joints. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, case series.

BACKGROUND: Surgeons frequently add an Achilles tendon lengthening or gastrocnemius recession to increase dorsiflexion following total ankle replacement. Previous studies have looked at the effects of these procedures on total tibiopedal motion. However, tibiopedal motion includes motion of the midfoot and hindfoot as well as the ankle replacement. The current study examined the effects of Achilles tendon lengthening and gastrocnemius recession on radiographic tibiotalar motion at the level of the prosthesis only. METHODS: Fifty-four patients with an average of 25 months follow-up after total ankle replacement were divided into 3 groups: (1) patients who underwent Achilles tendon lengthening, (2) patients who had a gastrocnemius recession, (3) patients with no lengthening procedure. Tibiotalar range of motion was measured on lateral dorsiflexion-plantarflexion radiographs using reference lines on the surface of the implants. RESULTS: Both Achilles tendon lengthening and gastrocnemius recession significantly increased tibiotalar dorsiflexion when compared to the group without lengthening. However, the total tibiotalar range of motion among the 3 groups was the same. Interestingly, the Achilles tendon lengthening group lost 11.7 degrees of plantarflexion compared to the group without lengthening, which was significant. CONCLUSION: Both Achilles tendon lengthening and gastrocnemius recession increased radiographic tibiotalar dorsiflexion following arthroplasty. Achilles tendon lengthening had the unexpected effect of significantly decreasing plantarflexion. Gastrocnemius recession may be a better choice when faced with a tight ankle replacement because it increases dorsiflexion without a compensatory loss of plantarflexion. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

BACKGROUND: Optimal characterization of Adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) on two-dimensional radiograph can be challenging. Weightbearing Cone Beam CT (CBCT) may improve characterization of the three-dimensional (3D) structural details of such dynamic deformity. We compared and validated AAFD measurements between weightbearing radiograph and weightbearing CBCT images. METHODS: 20 patients (20 feet, right/left: 15/5, male/female: 12/8, mean age: 52.2) with clinical diagnosis of flexible AAFD were prospectively recruited and underwent weightbearing dorsoplantar (DP) and lateral radiograph as well as weightbearing CBCT. Two foot and ankle surgeons performed AAFD measurements at parasagittal and axial planes (lateral and DP radiographs, respectively). Intra- and Inter-observer reliabilities were calculated by Intraclass correlation (ICC) and Cohen's kappa. Mean values of weightbearing radiograph and weightbearing CBCT measurements were also compared. RESULTS: Except for medial-cuneiform-first-metatarsal-angle, adequate intra-observer reliability (range:0.61-0.96) was observed for weightbearing radiographic measurements. Moderate to very good interobserver reliability between weightbearing radiograph and weightbearing CBCT measurements were observed for the following measurements: Naviculocuneiform-angle (ICC:0.47), Medial-cuneiform-first-metatarsal-gapping (ICC:0.58), cuboid-to-floor-distance (ICC:0.68), calcaneal-inclination-angle(ICC:0.7), axial Talonavicular-coverage-angle(ICC:0.56), axial Talus-first-metatarsal-angle(ICC:0.62). Comparing weightbearing radiograph and weightbearing CBCT images, statistically significant differences in the mean values of parasagittal talus-first-metatarsal-angle, medial-cuneiform-first-metatarsal-angle, medial-cuneiform-to-floor-distance and navicular-to-floor-distance was observed (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Moderate to very good correlation was observed between certain weightbearing radiograph and weightbearing CBCT measurements, however, significant difference was observed between a number of AAFD measurements, which suggest that 2D radiographic evaluation could potentially underestimate the severity of AAFD, when compared to 3D weightbearing CT assessment.

RECOMMENDATION: There is evidence indicating that the amount of bony correction performed in the setting of progressive collapsing foot deformity reconstructive surgery can be titrated within a recommended range for a variety of procedures. The typical range when performing a medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy should be 7 to 15 mm of medialization of the tuberosity. The typical range when performing an Evans lateral column lengthening should be 5 to 10 mm of a laterally based wedge in the anterior calcaneus. The typical range when performing a plantarflexion opening wedge osteotomy of the medial cuneiform (Cotton) osteotomy should be 5 to 10 mm of a dorsal wedge.

RECOMMENDATION: In the treatment of progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD), the combination of bone shape, soft tissue failure, and host factors create a complex algorithm that may confound choices for operative treatment. Realignment and balancing are primary goals. There was consensus that preservation of joint motion is preferred when possible. This choice needs to be balanced with the need for performing joint-sacrificing procedures such as fusions to obtain and maintain correction. In addition, a patient's age and health status such as body mass index is important to consider. Although preservation of motion is important, it is secondary to a stable and properly aligned foot. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, consensus, expert opinion.

RECOMMENDATION: Peritalar subluxation represents an important hindfoot component of progressive collapsing foot deformity, which can be associated with a breakdown of the medial longitudinal arch. It results in a complex 3-dimensional deformity with varying degrees of hindfoot valgus, forefoot abduction, and pronation. Loss of peritalar stability allows the talus to rotate and translate on the calcaneal and navicular bone surfaces, typically moving medially and anteriorly, which may result in sinus tarsi and subfibular impingement. The onset of degenerative disease can manifest with stiffening of the subtalar (ST) joint and subsequent fixed and possibly arthritic deformity. While ST joint fusion may permit repositioning and stabilization of the talus on top of the calcaneus, it may not fully correct forefoot abduction and it does not correct forefoot varus. Such varus may be addressed by a talonavicular (TN) fusion or a plantar flexion osteotomy of the first ray, but, if too pronounced, it may be more effectively corrected with a naviculocuneiform (NC) fusion. The NC joint has a curvature in the sagittal plane. Thus, preserving the shape of the joint is the key to permitting plantarflexion correction by rotating the midfoot along the debrided surfaces and to fix it. Intraoperatively, care must be also taken to not overcorrect the talocalcaneal angle in the horizontal plane during the ST fusion (eg, to exceed the external rotation of the talus and inadvertently put the midfoot in a supinated position). Such overcorrection can lead to lateral column overload with persistent lateral midfoot pain and discomfort. A contraindication for an isolated ST fusion may be a rupture of posterior tibial tendon because of the resultant loss of the internal rotation force at the TN joint. In these cases, a flexor digitorum longus tendon transfer is added to the procedure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, consensus, expert opinion.

RECOMMENDATION: There is evidence supporting medial soft tissue reconstruction, such as spring and deltoid ligament reconstructions, in the treatment of severe progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD). We recommend spring ligament reconstruction to be considered in addition to lateral column lengthening or subtalar fusion at the initial operation when those procedures have given at least 50% correction but inadequate correction of the severe flexible subluxation of the talonavicular and subtalar joints. We also recommend combined flatfoot reconstruction and deltoid reconstruction be considered as a joint sparing alternative in the presence of PCFD with valgus deformity of the ankle joint if there is 50% or more of the lateral joint space remaining. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, expert opinion.

RECOMMENDATION: Progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) is a complex 3D deformity with varying degrees of hindfoot valgus, forefoot abduction, and midfoot supination. Although a medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy can correct heel valgus, it has far less ability to correct forefoot abduction. More severe forefoot abduction, most frequently measured preoperatively by assessing talonavicular coverage on an anteroposterior (AP) weightbearing conventional radiographic view of the foot, can be more effectively corrected with a lateral column lengthening procedure than by other osteotomies in the foot. Care must be taken intraoperatively to not overcorrect the deformity by restricting passive eversion of the subtalar joint or causing adduction at the talonavicular joint on simulated AP weightbearing fluoroscopic imaging. Overcorrection can lead to lateral column overload with persistent lateral midfoot pain. The typical amount of lengthening of the lateral column is between 5 and 10 mm. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, consensus, expert opinion. CONSENSUS STATEMENT ONE: Lateral column lengthening (LCL) procedure is recommended when the amount of talonavicular joint uncoverage is above 40%. The amount of lengthening needed in the lateral column should be judged intraoperatively by the amount of correction of the uncoverage and by adequate residual passive eversion range of motion of the subtalar joint.Delegate vote: agree, 78% (7/9); disagree, 11% (1/9); abstain, 11% (1/9).(Strong consensus). CONSENSUS STATEMENT TWO: When titrating the amount of correction of abduction deformity intraoperatively, the presence of adduction at the talonavicular joint on simulated weightbearing fluoroscopic imaging is an important sign of hypercorrection and higher risk for lateral column overload.Delegate vote: agree, 100% (9/9); disagree, 0%; abstain, 0%.(Unanimous, strongest consensus). CONSENSUS STATEMENT THREE: The typical range for performing a lateral column lengthening is between 5 and 10 mm to achieve an adequate amount of talonavicular coverage.Delegate vote: agree, 100% (9/9); disagree, 0%; abstain, 0%.(Unanimous, strongest consensus).

RECOMMENDATION: There is evidence that the use of WEIGHTBEARING imaging aids in the assessment of progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD). The following WEIGHTBEARING conventional radiographs (CRs) are necessary in the assessment of PCFD patients: anteroposterior (AP) foot, AP or mortise ankle, and lateral foot. If available, a hindfoot alignment view is strongly recommended. If available, WEIGHTBEARING computed tomography (CT) is strongly recommended for surgical planning. When WEIGHTBEARING CT is obtained, important findings to be assessed are sinus tarsi impingement, subfibular impingement, increased valgus inclination of the posterior facet of the subtalar joint, and subluxation of the subtalar joint at the posterior and/or middle facet. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, consensus, expert opinion.

RECOMMENDATION: The historical nomenclature for the adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) is confusing, at times called posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD), the adult flexible flatfoot deformity, posterior tibial tendon rupture, peritalar instability and peritalar subluxation (PTS), and progressive talipes equinovalgus. Many but not all of these deformities are associated with a rupture of the posterior tibial tendon (PTT), and some of these are associated with deformities either primarily or secondarily in the midfoot or ankle. There is similar inconsistency with the use of classification schemata for these deformities, and from the first introduced by Johnson and Strom (1989), and then modified by Myerson (1997), there have been many attempts to provide a more comprehensive classification system. However, although these newer more complete classification systems have addressed some of the anatomic variations of deformities encountered, none of the above have ever been validated. The proposed system better incorporates the most recent data and understanding of the condition and better allows for standardization of reporting. In light of this information, the consensus group proposes the adoption of the nomenclature "Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity" (PCFD) and a new classification system aiming at summarizing recent data published on the subject and to standardize data reporting regarding this complex 3-dimensional deformity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, consensus, expert opinion. CONSENSUS STATEMENTS VOTED: CONSENSUS STATEMENT ONE: We will rename the condition to Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD), a complex 3-dimensional deformity with varying degrees of hindfoot valgus, forefoot abduction, and midfoot varus.Delegate vote: agree, 100% (9/9); disagree, 0%; abstain, 0%.(Unanimous, strongest consensus)CONSENSUS STATEMENT TWO: Our current classification systems are incomplete or outdated.Delegate vote: agree, 100% (9/9); disagree, 0%; abstain, 0%.(Unanimous, strongest consensus)CONSENSUS STATEMENT THREE: MRI findings should be part of a new classification system.Delegate vote: agree, 33% (3/9); disagree, 67% (6/9); abstain, 0%.(Weak negative consensus)CONSENSUS STATEMENT FOUR: Weightbearing CT (WBCT) findings should be part of a new classification system.Delegate vote: agree, 56% (5/9); disagree, 44% (4/9); abstain, 0%.(Weak consensus)CONSENSUS STATEMENT FIVE: A new classification system is proposed and should be used to stage the deformity clinically and to define treatment.Delegate vote: agree, 89% (8/9); abstain, 11% (1/9).(Strong consensus).

RECOMMENDATION: Forefoot varus is a physical and radiographic examination finding associated with the Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD). Varus position of the forefoot relative to the hindfoot is caused by medial midfoot collapse with apex plantar angulation of the medial column. Some surgeons use the term forefoot supination to describe this same deformity (see Introduction section with nomenclature). Correction of this deformity is important to restore the weightbearing tripod of the foot and help resist a recurrence of foot collapse. When the forefoot varus deformity is isolated to the medial metatarsal and medial cuneiform, correction is indicated with an opening wedge medial cuneiform (Cotton) osteotomy, typically with interposition of an allograft bone wedge from 5 to 11 mm in width at the base. When the forefoot varus is global, involving varus angulation of the entire forefoot and midfoot relative to the hindfoot, other procedures are needed to adequately correct the deformity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, consensus, expert opinion.
