On the heels of the October edition of Clinics in Podiatric Medicine & Surgery, in which the entire journal was dedicated to the Advances in Fixation Technology in foot and ankle surgery, the Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery now has a similar issue. Their November edition has 12 articles that specifically involve new findings and techniques with a variety of surgical fixation, including the Arthrex Tight Rope suture button, Gramedica HyProCure arthroereisis, Wright Medical Inbone total ankle replacement implant, Smith and Nephew Taylor Spatial Frame, and the Box total ankle replacement. Additionally, there are publications that involve screw fixation versus locking plates, external fixation with callus distraction, and new techniques with both screw fixation and wire fixation.
Whether new concepts are presented for the first time or previously described methods are further supported, these publications help aid in the overall evolution of foot and ankle surgery. Our goal at www.FootandAnkleFixation.com is to help create surgical awareness about your fixation options, as it not only impacts you as a physician but also your patient.
