<section id="abs-sec-1"> <div role="paragraph">Nonunion following naviculocuneiform (NC) joint arthrodesis is a well-recognized complication. Most studies reporting nonunion rates involve a limited number of cases or focus on a single disease entity. Moreover, there is variation between studies with regard to the number of articular facets included in the arthrodesis as well as the fixation construct used, with no clear evidence indicating how these factors influence union. This study, using the largest cohort to date, aims to investigate the nonunion rate following NC joint arthrodesis and to identify demographic and surgical factors associated with nonunion.</div> <div role="paragraph"> </div> <div role="paragraph">In conclusion, this study demonstrates a significant rate of nonunion following NC joint arthrodesis, exceeding that previously reported. We found that the rate of nonunion significantly increased in arthrodeses involving only the medial NC facet as compared to those including multiple NC facets. <section id="bodymatter" data-extent="bodymatter"> <div class="core-container"> </div> </section> </div> <div role="paragraph"> </div> <div role="paragraph">Click <a href= "https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10711007251316556">here</a> to read the article.</div> </section> <section id="abs-sec-2"></section>

<section id="abs-sec-1"> <div role="paragraph">Ankle and hindfoot fusion in the presence of large bony defects represents a challenging problem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes of patients who underwent ankle-hindfoot fusions with impaction bone grafting (IBG) with morselized femoral head allograft to fill large bony void defects.</div> <div role="paragraph"> </div> <div role="paragraph">In conclusion, impaction of morselized femoral head allograft can fill large bony voids around the ankle or hindfoot during fusion, with rapid graft incorporation and no graft collapse despite early loading. This technique offers satisfactory and comparable union outcomes without limb shortening or expensive custom 3D-printed metal cages. <div id="graphical-abstract" role="doc-abstract"> <div class="figure-wrap"> </div> </div> </div> <div role="paragraph"> </div> <div role="paragraph">Click <a href= "https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10711007241310411">here</a> to read the article.</div> </section> <section id="abs-sec-2"></section>

<section id="abs-sec-1"> <div role="paragraph">The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiologic outcomes following supramalleolar osteotomy for early varus ankle arthritis with the medial translation of the talus, wherein the lateral translation of the talus center to the tibial axis was used as a correction target. Another aim was to compare the results between the ankles with a normal range of medial distal tibial angle (MDTA) and overcorrected MDTA at the postoperative period to investigate the role of overcorrected MDTA after the supramalleolar osteotomy.</div> <div role="paragraph"> </div> <div role="paragraph">In conclusion, lateral translation of the talus center relative to the tibial axis can be used as a correction target for medial opening supramalleolar osteotomy to treat early varus ankle arthritis with medial translation of the talus. Overcorrection of the tibial plafond to valgus does not seem necessary. <section id="abs-sec-5"></section> </div> <div role="paragraph"> </div> <div role="paragraph">Click <a href= "https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10711007241300331">here</a> to read the article.</div> </section> <section id="abs-sec-2"></section>
