Article Abstract
Background: The main goal of this study was to evaluate postoperative changes in the length of the first metatarsal (M1) and the proximal phalanx of the hallux (P1) after acellular dermal allograft interpositional arthroplasty (ADA-IPA). We hypothesized that there would be a shortening of the first ray at the first metatarsal, the proximal phalanx, or both.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we assessed patients who underwent ADA-IPA between 2019 and 2022. On standing anteroposterior (AP) foot radiographs, we measured first metatarsal (M1), second metatarsal (M2), proximal phalanx (P1), and the entire hallux (HX) lengths. M1/M2 and P1/HX ratios were calculated. The first metatarsophalangeal joint space was calculated. All measurements were recorded preoperatively, at 6 weeks postoperatively, and at final follow-up.
Results: The pilot study included 11 patients. At final follow-up, we found shortening of M1 and P1 in comparison to the preoperative length, as evidenced by lower M1/M2 (82.6 ± 2.3 vs 75.4 ± 5.1; = .001) and P1/HX ratios (53.4 ± 2.3 vs 48.9 ± 7.9; = .001). Follow-up length was negatively correlated with M1/M2 ( = -0.76, = .003).
Conclusion: ADA-IPA might be associated with shortening of both first metatarsal and proximal phalanx, with the former showing progressive shortening.

Clinical and ultrasonographic findings in horses with desmopathy of the palmar/plantar abaxial ligaments of the proximal interphalangeal joint: 20 cases.

Objective: To describe the clinical and ultrasonographic findings in horses with desmopathy of the abaxial palmar/plantar ligament (APL) of the proximal interphalangeal joint and the prevalence of concurrent musculoskeletal injuries in the pastern and foot.
Animals: Horses presenting to New Bolton Center between March 2017 and November 2022 with an age ranging from 5 to 20 years that underwent lameness evaluation in which lameness was localized to the distal limb and had an ultrasonographic diagnosis of APL desmopathy.
Clinical Presentation: Horses included were those that (1) presented for a lameness examination; (2) had lameness that improved after diagnostic analgesia with a low 4-point nerve block (medial and lateral palmar/plantar nerves and medial and lateral palmar/plantar metacarpal/metatarsal nerves), abaxial sesamoid nerve block (medial and lateral palmar or plantar nerves), or palmar/plantar digital nerve block; and (3) had an ultrasonographic diagnosis of APL desmopathy.

Department of Infectious Diseases and Public Health, Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China.
Aims: The osteochondral cement line (OCL) plays a key role in joint integrity by attaching articular calcified cartilage (ACC) to underlying subchondral bone (SCB), whose predominant collagens are type 2 (Col-II) and type 1 (Col-I), respectively. Previous studies report contrasting evidence of the presence of collagen fibrils in the OCL, albeit in different species and joints. If present, collagen fibrils might provide a basis for osteochondral bonding in the organic phase.

Background: Insertion of medial column intramedullary fixation during Charcot reconstruction relies on proper guidewire placement in preparation for reaming to optimize endosteal purchase. Although fluoroscopy and jigs assist with wire placement, no anatomical relationship between the center of the intramedullary canal and metatarsal head or base has been described, which this cadaver study aimed to identify.
Methods: The first metatarsals from ten fresh-frozen cadavers were dissected.

Background: The purpose of this study was to identify radiographic risk factors for loss of correction (LOC) after hallux valgus surgery and to weight their importance for LOC.
Methods: We retrospectively assessed the radiographs of 1,082 consecutive chevron osteotomy cases regarding early LOC from initially postoperative to 6 and 12 weeks postoperative. The influence of preoperative and postoperative radiographic parameters on LOC of the hallux valgus angle (HVA) and the intermetatarsal 1-2 angle (IMA) was evaluated using nonparametric Spearman rank correlations and multiple linear regression analyses.
