Study: Preoperative Dorsiflexion Predicts Motion After Total Ankle Arthroplasty
09/21/2026
Jennifer J. Spector, DPM, FACFAS
A retrospective cohort study evaluated clinical and surgical factors associated with limited weight-bearing dorsiflexion following total ankle arthroplasty. The findings may help foot and ankle surgeons counsel patients more accurately about...

Total Ankle Arthroplasty With Concomitant Reconstruction: When to Choose Single-Stage vs Staged Surgery
09/01/2026
Michael J. Radcliffe, DPM, AACFAS; Ramez Sakkab, DPM, AACFAS; Jeffrey E. McAlister, DPM, FACFAS
This review examines when single-stage reconstruction may offer an efficient approach—and when deformity severity, rehabilitation demands, or surgical risk make staged reconstruction the better strategy.

Preoperative Dorsiflexion Predicts Postoperative Motion After Total Ankle Arthroplasty
08/01/2026
Jennifer J. Spector, DPM, FACFAS
A new retrospective study suggests that preoperative ankle dorsiflexion may be the strongest predictor of postoperative weight-bearing dorsiflexion following total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). The findings may help foot and ankle surgeons better...

Severe Varus Deformity Does Not Compromise Total Ankle Arthroplasty Outcomes, Study Finds
06/17/2026
Jennifer J. Spector, DPM, FACFAS
The findings from this recent study in the Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery suggest that with appropriate adjunctive procedures and deformity correction strategies, severe varus alignment should not be considered a clear contraindication to...

Total Ankle Replacement Study Compares Anterior vs Lateral Approaches: Similar Complication Rates, Different Reoperation Patterns
06/10/2026
Jennifer J. Spector, DPM, FACFAS
New research suggests that while anterior and lateral transfibular approaches to total ankle replacement (TAR) produce comparable early complication rates and hospital stays, the lateral approach may be associated with longer operative times...

Ankle Arthritis and TAR: Diagnosis, Instability, and Surgical Decision-Making
05/01/2026
Karissa Badillo, DPM, AACFAS; Roberto A. Brandão DPM, FACFAS
Ankle arthritis is a debilitating condition commonly driven by prior trauma and chronic instability, often progressing despite conservative care. As imaging limitations challenge early detection of intra-articular damage, surgical...
