Key Points

To evaluate various interventions for foot and ankle conditions and their efficacy in recovery and pain relief.
Review of published outcomes for different ankle treatments including surgeries and conservative methods.
Comparison of results for surgical and non-surgical techniques in managing ankle fractures and tendinopathy.
Cast immobilization is non-inferior to surgery for unstable Weber B ankle fractures.
Minimally invasive Zadek osteotomy shows comparable pain relief and quicker recovery than traditional methods.
Five-year outcomes confirm effectiveness of TOPIC grafting for medial talar lesions.

Abstract

The June 2026 Foot Fixation of medium-sized posterior malleolar fragments did not improve one-year outcomes in trimalleolar ankle fractures; Minimally invasive Zadek osteotomy appears to match open calcaneoplasty for pain relief while enabling earlier recovery and fewer wound problems in insertional Achilles tendinopathy; Early results for the Infinity with Adaptis ankle replacement are encouraging, but tibial lucencies deserve close surveillance; Early or late weightbearing after subtalar joint arthrodesis?; Older age and lower baseline pain predict improved outcomes following extracorporeal shockwave therapy for Achilles tendinopathy; Immediate full weightbearing appears safe after first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis; Five-year follow-up confirms durable benefit of TOPIC grafting for large medial talar osteochondral lesions.
