Hallux interphalangeal joint arthrodesis
(HIPJA) is indicated for a variety of pathologies. Despite high
nonunion rates, techniques remain unchanged. The aim of this study
is to examine nonunion and complication rates and describe risk
factors for treatment failure.
In conclusion, our cohort represents the

An augmented Broström repair with
nonabsorbable suture tape has demonstrated strength and stiffness
more similar to the native anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL)
compared to Broström repair alone at the time of repair in
cadaveric models for the treatment of lateral ankle instability.
The study purpose was to...
