Platelet Rich Plasma Injections for Foot and Ankle Pathologies have Significantly Higher Complications Compared to Hyaluronic Acid injections, Saline Injections, and Dry Needling: A Systematic Review
A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) documenting complications following PRP injections for foot and ankle pathologies. Condition studied, demographics, and complications were extracted. Complication rates and number needed to harm (NNH) were calculated, and random-effects models were generated to compare complications using odds ratios, with a p-value < 0.05 indicating significance.
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. Although current clinical guidelines advocate the judicious use of corticosteroid injection as an adjunct therapy, none of these recommendations are specific to the foot and ankle. 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.
Healthy patients can put weight on ankles less than three weeks after surgical intervention, study finds
A new study from the University of Missouri School of Medicine suggests putting weight on an ankle—also known as weight bearing—within three weeks of recovering from a surgically repaired fracture is safe.
