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...

Heel melanoma is uncommon, but its location on a weight-bearing surface makes it easy to miss. These three plantar heel cases underscore how delayed recognition can lead to invasive disease and nodal spread, while timely biopsy and...

Vibrio vulnificus necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly progressive, often fatal soft tissue infection that demands immediate clinical recognition and decisive surgical management. This case underscores the limitations of relying on the LRINEC...

For patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) who lack conventional revascularization options, venous arterialization offers a potential path to limb salvage. While deep venous arterialization (DVA) has gained attention in recent...
