Article Abstract
Background: Hindfoot fusion procedures are common for the treatment of end-stage arthritis or deformity. Surgical treatments for these conditions include talonavicular joint (single) arthrodesis, talonavicular and subtalar (double) arthrodesis, or talonavicular, subtalar, and calcaneocuboid (triple) arthrodesis. This study evaluated the complication rate, revision surgery rate, and hardware removal rate for those treated with either single, double, or triple arthrodesis.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted for patients who underwent single ( [] code 28740), double ( 28725 and 28740), or triple ( 28715) arthrodesis to treat hindfoot arthritis/deformity ( [] code: 734, [] codes: M76821, M76822, and M76829) from 2005 to 2022 using the South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs databank. Data collected included demographics, comorbidities, procedure data, and postoperative outcomes within 1 year of principal surgery. Student test, chi-squared test, and multivariable logistic regression analysis were utilized during data analysis.
Results: A total of 433 patients were identified, with 248 undergoing single arthrodesis, 67 undergoing double arthrodesis, and 118 undergoing triple arthrodesis. There was no significant difference between single, double, and triple arthrodesis in the rate of complications, hardware removals, revision surgeries, or 30-day readmission when controlling for confounding variables. However, a decrease in Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was found to be predictive of an increase in the revision surgery rate (OR = 0.46, 95% CI 0.22-0.85, = .02).
Conclusion: We found no difference in the rate of complications, hardware removals, or revision surgeries in those undergoing single, double, or triple arthrodesis. Surprisingly we found that a lower Charlson Comorbidity Index, indicating a healthier patient had a significant relationship with a higher rate of revision surgery. Further study including radiographic indications for surgery or the impact of overall health status on revision surgery rates may further elucidate the other components of this relationship.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, cohort study.

Objective: To explore the biomechanical characteristics and clinical application effects of three-dimensional (3D) printed osteotomy guide plate combined with Ilizarov technique in the treatment of rigid clubfoot.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 11 patients with rigid clubfoot who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted between January 2019 and December 2024. There were 6 males and 5 females, aged 21-60 years with an average of 43.
Patient-Reported Outcomes and Revision Risk Following Total Ankle Replacement With and Without Ipsilateral Hindfoot Fusion.

Background: Hindfoot (subtalar, talonavicular, and/or calcaneocuboid) fusion is commonly used to treat arthritis and/or deformity. Some patients undergoing total ankle replacement (TAR) have a history of hindfoot fusion or undergo it concomitantly. This study aims to evaluate Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-based clinical outcomes, revision rates, and radiographic findings of primary TAR with ipsilateral hindfoot fusion at a minimum 2-year follow-up from primary TAR.

Background: Hindfoot arthrodesis is a procedure commonly performed to address degenerative changes and/or malalignment of the hindfoot, yet robust literature comparing traditional and modern constructs is sparse. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of nitinol staples in hindfoot arthrodesis as compared to isolated screws and combined staple and screw constructs.
Methods: A 10-year retrospective review of all patients undergoing hindfoot arthrodesis at our institution was performed.

Congenital genu recurvatum (CGR) is a rare congenital knee deformity that can be diagnosed pre- or postnatally. Most CGR cases are treated during infancy by manipulation and serial casting or splinting. Only a few neglected cases of CGR in adults with the necessity of surgical treatment have been reported.
