Ankle Surgery Update

Welcome back to Ankle Surgery Update - Science Guiding Treatment in 2023! This time we are honored to talk to the first authors Dr. Johansen   on his multicenter Study entitled "Surgical treatment of tibialis anterior tendon rupture" published in FAS.

In this episode we had the distinct pleasure to talk to Mr. Zaki Arshad and Mr. Maneesh Bhatia on their recent paper entitled “Gastrocnemius Release in the Management of Chronic Plantar Fasciitis: A Systematic Review” published in Foot and Ankle International.We ended up covering a wide range of therapeutic approaches to plantar fasciitis. We hope you enjoy this session as much as we did!

This is a very special episode for us! We were invited by Prof. Charlie Saltzman to discuss one of our latest publications: "Compensation of Dynamic Fixation Systems in the Quality of Reduction of the Distal Tibiofibular Joint in Acute Syndesmotic Complex Injuries: A CT-Based Analysis" published in the November Episode of Foot and Ankle International.We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!

This episode is part of a break-out session of a webinar of the German Association of Foot and Ankle Surgery. We are honored to host Prof. Dr. Becher and talk to him about his award winning publication entitled "Arthroscopic microfracture vs. arthroscopic autologous matrixinduced chondrogenesis for the treatment of articular cartilage defects of the talus" published in KSSTA in 2018. We cover different treatment strategies for (osteo)chondral defects.We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!The episode is officially sponsored by Geistlich, who did not have any involvement in the planing, production or final approval of this episode.

This time we have Prof. Dr. Nasef with us. He is a Professor of Orthopedics and Reconstructive Foot and Ankle Surgery at the Cairo University and was the First Non-European and first Egyptian to become Member of the AFAS section of the ESSKA.We discuss Dr. Nasef's recently published study “Endoscopic Flexor Hallucis Longus Transfer for the Management of Acute Achilles Tendon Ruptures in Professional Soccer Players” published in Foot & Ankle International.We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!

This time, we have the honor to have Professor Stefan Rammelt and Dr. Annika Neumann with us. They  recently published an astonishing study entitled “Ankle fractures involving the posterior malleolus: patient characteristics and 7‑year results in 100 cases” in the Archives of Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery.We had a great discussion around the third and fourth malleolus including tips and tricks during surgery.We hope you will enjoy this interview just as much as we did!

Welcome back to Ankle Surgery Update – Science Guiding Treatment! We know that we have been offline for quite a while. But we have been merging our orthopaedic and trauma departments and restructure our new Musculusceletal University Cluster. We are all the more happy to pick up our podcast to stay connected with you all.This time, we got Tim Schepers with us. A Trauma Surgeon at the AMC Trauma Unit Amsterdam with an exceptional experience in complex foot and ankle injuries and their residuals. He has published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers. The paper we would love to discuss with him today has just been published in the Bone and Joint Journal and is entitled: “Functional outcome of routine versus on-demand removal of the syndesmotic screw: a multicenter randomized controlled trial”.

This time, we are especially excited as we are having two awesome guests with us, Benedikte Ræder and Mette Andersen. They are the first and senior authors of two of the most outstanding trials comparing suture button stabilization to single syndesmotic screw fixation in unstable syndesmotic injuries. One study is entitled “Randomized trial comparing suture button with single 3.5 mm syndesmotic screw for ankle syndesmosis injury: similar results at 2 years.” published in the Acta Orthopaedica and the other RCT is entitled “Better outcome for suture button compared with single syndesmotic screw for syndesmosis injury: five-year results of a randomized controlled trial”  published in the Bone and Joint Journal.  As indicated in the title of the two studies, they found conflicting results. And today we have the great privilege to discuss these with them.

Welcome to a new episode of #AnkleSurgeryUpdate. This time, we decided to present two papers on more fancy surgical procedures in foot and ankle surgery. We picked the following two papers:"Femoral Head Allografts for Talar Body Defects” by Coetzee et al. published in FAI “3D Printed Total Talus Replacement for Avascular Necrosis of the Talus” by Kadakia et al, published in FAIWe hope you will find the following paper picks interesting. As always, you can find this podcast on all common platforms and feel free to join us @FuSpruLMU.

Welcome to a new episode of #AnkleSurgeryUpdate. This time we would like to have a closer look at a very controversly discussed topic: Treatment of Lisfranc-Injuries. Therefore, we picked the following systematic reviews:Arthrodesis or Open Reduction Internal Fixation for Lisfranc Injuries - A Meta-analysis by Levy and colleagues published in Foot and Ankle Specialist ANDLisfranc Fixation Techniques and Postoperative Functional Outcomes: A Systematic Review by Philpott and colleagues published in The Journal of Foot and Ankle SurgeryWe hope you will find the following paper picks interesting. As always, you can find this podcast on all common platforms and feel free to join us @FuSpruLMU.

Welcome to our first episode of Ankle Surgery Update – Science guiding treatment in 2021. We are starting with great enthusiasm into this year.

Hey everybody! Welcome to our fourth episode of the Ankle Surgery Update. We would like to thank you all for supporting us and the feedback we have received. Our main intention is to present and discuss recent literature. But through your valuable feedback, it became apparent to us, that literature, throughout the world, is interpreted and lived differently. Therefore, we decided to introduce a new section to our podcast: Interviews with authors and experts in the field.Therefore, it is our great pleasure to introduce our first interview guest to you: Benn Boshell! Ben is a podiatrist from the UK and Head of Service at Hatt Health & Movement Clinic. He is the author of “The Plantar Fasciitis Bible” and hosts the podcast “The Heel Pain Expert Podcast”.The three of us had a great chat on insertional tendinopathy of the Achilles tendon. We focused predominantly on the appropriate diagnostics and non-surgical treatment approaches.Thank you very much for listening to Ankle Surgery Update – Science Guiding Treatment. We hope, you will enjoy this new format and we are happy for any feedback! And of course, we hope you tune in next month again!Hans & Sebastian
