Intra-articular corticosteroid injections for the treatment of people with foot and ankle osteoarthritis: a systematic review
Intra-articular corticosteroid injections are commonly used in the management of foot and ankle OA.

Therefore, the aim of this review is to examine the effectiveness of intra-articular corticosteroid injections in people with foot or ankle OA.
Prospective multicenter study assessing radiographic and patient outcomes following an instrumented mini open triplanar tarsometatarsal arthrodesis with early weightbearing
This prospective, multicenter study assessed the radiographic, clinical, and patient-reported outcomes for hallux valgus (HV) correction performed with an instrumented 1st tarsometatarsal (TMT) system through a mini-open incision (≤4cm) with a biplanar plating construct and early return to weightbearing.
Long-term Outcomes After Total Ankle Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review
Total ankle arthroplasty has emerged as a treatment to successfully treat ankle arthritis. Recent studies have reported more than 40 000 total ankle arthroplasties (TAAs) being performed between 2009 and 2019 in the United States. Although recent studies have reported favorable patient-reported outcomes at short- and midterm follow-up, there is a paucity of aggregate literature reporting on long-term patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after TAA. The purpose of this review is to report an aggregate of literature on minimum 10-year patient-reported outcomes after TAA.
