Current Issue December 2020 Volume 25, Issue 4 Current Topic December 2020 Controversies in Acute Trauma and Reconstruction Edited byJorge Filippi, German Joannas Foot and ankle trauma is a common problem for subspecialists and general orthopedic surgeons in the emergency department setting. This issue tries to give a practical approach for the most frequent clinical dilemmas in terms of diagnosis and treatment. In some articles, we asked the authors to defy some established knowledge or "gold standards"; in others, we asked the authors to organize and clarify classic contents, and in all of them, we asked the authors to share their experience and innovative vision on these problems. Articles in Press Recent Issues Past Issues Most Read Sports-Related Lisfranc Injuries and Recognition of Lisfranc Variants: Surgical Strategies for Stabilization Nacime Salomão Barbachan Mansur, Eli Schmidt DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fcl.2020.11.002 Publication stage: In Press Corrected Proof Preview Full-Text HTML PDF x Much has changed since Lisfranc described lesions at the tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint in 1815. What was considered an osseous high-energy condition nowadays is understood as myriad possible presentations, occurring in minor and inconspicuous traumas. Advancements in diagnostics of Lisfranc injury allow recognizing many variants of this trauma presentation, most of them with a focus on ligaments. This perception shifted trends in surgical planning, especially for implants and fixation techniques. These revolutions established a new and evolving universe around TMT lesions, different from what was known only a few years ago and still not enough to completely settle the disease scenario. Modern Open and Minimally Invasive Stabilization of Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability Tyler Allen, Meghan Kelly DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fcl.2020.11.003 Publication stage: In Press Corrected Proof Preview Full-Text HTML PDF x Chronic lateral ankle instability is the sensation of the ankle giving way along with recurrent sprains, chronic pain and swelling of the ankle for 1 year. The lateral ankle complex comprises the anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament, and posterior talofibular ligament. The anterior talofibular ligament is the most commonly injured ligament of the lateral ankle. Evaluation comprises a history and physical with concomitant imaging to confirm the diagnosis and can be used to evaluate for concurrent pathology. The most popular treatment is a direct anatomic repair; however, additional options can be used in specific patient populations. Indications and Surgical Treatment of Acute and Chronic Tibiofibular Syndesmotic Injuries with and Without Associated Fractures Michael P. Swords, John R. Shank DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fcl.2020.10.006 Publication stage: In Press Corrected Proof Preview Full-Text HTML PDF x Syndesmosis injury may occur in a wide variety of clinical scenarios. Accurate diagnosis and anatomic reconstruction are necessary for optimizing clinical outcomes. The management considerations of syndesmotic injuries with associated proximal fibula fractures are reviewed. Methods to improve the accuracy of syndesmotic reduction are outlined. The management of fractures of the posterior malleolus, Chaput tubercle, and Wagstaffe tubercle is discussed with an emphasis on their contributions to syndesmotic stability. The evolving role of flexible fixation for syndesmosis injuries is discussed. Causes and strategies for dealing with loss of reduction and malreduced syndesmotic injuries are presented. Proximal Fifth Metatarsal Fractures in Athletes: Management of Acute and Chronic Conditions David A. Porter, Jeff Klott DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fcl.2020.10.007 Publication stage: In Press Corrected Proof Preview Full-Text HTML PDF x Proximal fifth metatarsal fractures are common in the athlete and can be a source of significant, temporary disability and missed playing time. The pattern of fracture can vary, and the type of fracture leads to a significantly different prognosis and treatment. Jones fractures of the fifth metatarsal are particularly common and difficult to treat in the athlete, can have recurrence and refracture, and require expertise to heal. Intramedullary screw fixation is currently the preferred method of fixation. Most other (non-Jones fractures and os vesalianum) proximal fifth metatarsal fractures can be treated successfully without surgery. Recognition of Failure Modes of Lateral Ankle Ligament Reconstruction: Revision and Salvage Options Fred T. Finney, Todd A. Irwin DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fcl.2020.10.005 Publication stage: In Press Corrected Proof Preview Full-Text HTML PDF x Primary lateral ankle ligament reconstruction has a high success rate, but failures may lead to recurrent instability. In patients with recurrent lateral ankle instability, it is important to determine the mode of failure. Underlying cavovarus deformity and joint hypermobility must be identified and addressed at the time of revision surgical stabilization. The modified Brostrom-Gould procedure is typically performed for primary lateral ankle ligament reconstruction, but it may be used in revision stabilization procedures utilizing suture-tape augmentation. Revision lateral ankle stabilization surgery can also be addressed with anatomic allograft reconstruction of the ATFL and CFL, and is the authors’ preferred technique.
