Case Studies

A custom 3D-printed total navicular implant offered an alternative reconstructive approach for an 86-year-old patient with a severely comminuted navicular fracture and osteoporosis. At 12 months, the patient maintained alignment, returned to...

A staged limb salvage approach using a 3D-printed implant achieved stable alignment and progressive fusion in a patient with severe Charcot ankle neuroarthropathy and significant bone loss. Despite postoperative hardware loosening requiring...

This small retrospective case series suggests that adjunctive use of a prescription medical food with standard wound care  was associated with favorable healing outcomes in patients with  Wagner grade 2 diabetic foot ulcers. While preliminary...

This case report highlights successful total ankle arthroplasty in a 46-year-old patient with post-traumatic arthritis, demonstrating excellent functional recovery and rapid return to activity. The case adds to growing evidence that modern...

Medically complex cases pose specific challenges in limb preservation. This report demonstrates that with staged reconstruction, multidisciplinary care, and strong patient commitment, even “non-reconstructable” limbs may achieve a functional...

Chronic plantar fascia rupture is uncommon and can leave patients with persistent pain and functional limitation despite conservative care. This case highlights surgical reconstruction with a synthetic polyurethane urea-based matrix as a...

This case report highlights the use of a regulated oxygenated negative pressure-assisted dressing (RO-NPT) as a potential viable, cost-conscious solution for complex wound management.

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) continues to reshape bunion correction, but questions remain around the limits of deformity correction. This case series explores the clinical outcomes of an aggressive approach—100% lateral translation of the...

This case challenges conventional thinking, demonstrating successful nonoperative management despite a large tendon gap, neuropathy, and poor adherence to treatment recommendations. Four-year follow-up findings highlight the potential for...

A rare accessory ossicle, the os cuboideum secundarium, is typically an incidental finding—but in high-risk feet, it can become clinically significant. This case highlights how an unrecognized plantar-lateral bony prominence contributed to...
