    Abstract Cavovarus foot is a complex three-dimensional deformity, which includes a wide range of clinical conditions from subtle deformities to disabling feet. In this article, the authors discuss the role of weight-bearing computed tomography, which might enable to avoid double imaging (radiographs + tomography) in patients for which a detailed osteoarticular assessment is required, with the advantage to obtain tomographic images in standing position and a reduction of radiation exposure.

    Abstract Adult tarsal coalition consists in abnormal union of two or more tarsal bones. Reported incidence ranges between 1 and 13%. It is generally a congenital condition, due to dominant autosomal chromosome disorder, but with some acquired forms following trauma or inflammatory pathology. Poorly specific clinical signs and the difficulty of screening on conventional X-ray may lead to diagnostic failure. The present review of tarsal coalition addresses the following questions: how to define tarsal coalition? How to diagnose it? How to treat it? And what results can be expected? There are 3 types of tarsal coalition, according to the type of tissue between the united bones: bony in pure synostosis, cartilaginous in synchondrosis, and fibrous in syndesmosis. Location varies; the most frequent forms are talocalcaneal (TC) and calcaneonavicular (CN), accounting for more than 90% of cases. Cuneonavicular, intercuneal and cuboideonavicular locations are much rarer, at less than 10%. Tarsal coalition is classically painful, often with valgus spastic flatfoot in young adults. The pain is caused by the biomechanical disturbance induced by the bone, cartilage or fibrous bridges which partially or completely hinder hindfoot and/or midfoot motion. Conventional imaging, with weight-bearing X-ray and CT, is standard practice. Weight-bearing CT is increasingly the gold standard, displaying abnormalities in 3 dimensions. Functional imaging on MRI and tomoscintigraphy assess direct and indirect joint impact at the affected and neighboring joint lines. Non-operative treatment can be proposed, with orthoses, rehabilitation and/or injections. But surgery is the most frequent option: either resection of the bony, cartilaginous or fibrous constructs to restore optimally normal anatomy, or arthrodesis in the affected joint line or the entire joint. Surgery can be open, arthroscopic or percutaneous, depending on the severity of the biomechanical impact on the affected and neighboring joints. Resecting the abnormality is the standard practice in all locations if it affects less than 50% of the talocalcaneal joint line and there is no osteoarthritis to impair the functional outcome. Otherwise, fusion is required. Level of evidence: V; expert opinion.

    Abstract Ankle sprain and chronic lateral ankle instability are complex conditions and challenging to treat. Cone beam weight-bearing computed tomography is an innovative imaging modality that has gained popularity, with a body of literature reporting reduced radiation exposure and operating time, and shortened examination time and a decreased time interval between injury and diagnosis. In this article, we make clearer the advantages of this technology and encourage researchers to investigate the area, and clinicians to use it as a primary mode of investigation. We also present clinical cases provided by the authors to illustrate those possibilities using advanced imaging tools.

    Abstract Adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) as a consequence of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is commonly divided in flexible (stages I and II) and fixed (stages III and IV) deformities. The aim of this article is to summarize the evidence available for minimally invasive surgical techniques that can be used in the treatment of flexible AAFD, including tibialis posterior tendoscopy, subtalar arthroereisis, minimally invasive calcaneal osteotomy, and medial proximal gastrocnemius recession. A treatment algorithm and technical tips have also been provided.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aims to report our experience with Clostridium Histolyticum collagenase (CCH) to support the importance of its clinical use and assess its clinical efficacy, complications, and recurrences.
    Methods: This prospective observational study of 66 patients with a 2-year follow-up. Patients with an extension lag major of 20° at the metacarpophalangeal joint (MPJ) and/or proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) were included. We collected data on demographic and anamnestic details, MPJ and PIPJ contracture degrees, DASH score, complications, and recurrences.
    Results: The mean pre-injection contracture was 34° for MPJ and 31° for PIPJ. At the 2-year follow-up, the mean contracture for the MPJ and PIPJ were respectively 3° and 14.5°. The mean DASH score decreased from 21.8 before injection to 10,4 after 2 years. The disease recurrence occurred in 34.8% of the patients, all with PIPJ contracture. The main complication was skin breakage (25.7%).
    Conclusion: The CCH injections remain a consistent option in treating DD; withdrawal from the European market deprives surgeons and patients of low invasiveness and safe tool for treating DD.

    Abstract Background: Altered stress distribution in the lower limb may impact bone mineral density (BMD) in the ankle bones. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the spatial distribution of BMD with use of weight-bearing cone-beam computed tomography (WBCT). Our hypothesis was that BMD distribution would be even in normal hindfeet, increased medially in varus hindfeet, and increased laterally in valgus hindfeet.
    Methods: In this study, 27 normally aligned hindfeet were retrospectively compared with 27 valgus and 27 varus-aligned hindfeet. Age (p = 0.967), body mass index (p = 0.669), sex (p = 0.820), and side (p = 0.708) were similar in the 3 groups. Hindfoot alignment was quantified on the basis of WBCT data sets with use of multiple measurements. BMD was calculated with use of the mean Hounsfield unit (HU) value as a surrogate. The HU medial-to-lateral ratio (HUR), calculated from tibial and talar medial and lateral half-volumes, was the primary outcome of the study.
    Results: The 3 groups significantly differed (p < 0.001) in terms of tibial HUR (median, 0.91 [interquartile range (IQR), 0.75 to 0.98] in valgus hindfeet, 1 [IQR, 0.94 to 1.05] in normal hindfeet, and 1.04 [IQR, 0.99 to 1.1] in varus hindfeet) and talar HUR (0.74 [IQR, 0.50 to 0.80] in valgus hindfeet, 0.82 [IQR, 0.76 to 0.87] in normal hindfeet, and 0.92 [IQR, 0.86 to 1.05] in varus hindfeet). Linear regression showed that all hindfoot measurements significantly correlated with tibial and talar HUR (p < 0.001 for all). The mean HU values for normally-aligned hindfeet were 495.2 ± 110 (medial tibia), 495.6 ± 108.1 (lateral tibia), 368.9 ± 80.3 (medial talus), 448.2 ± 90.6 (lateral talus), and 686.7 ± 120.4 (fibula). The mean HU value for each compartment was not significantly different across groups.
    Conclusions: Hindfoot alignment and medial-to-lateral BMD distribution were correlated. In varus hindfeet, an increased HU medial-to-lateral ratio was consistent with a greater medial bone density in the tibia and talus as compared with the lateral parts of these bones. In valgus hindfeet, a decreased ratio suggested greater bone density in the lateral as compared with the medial parts of both the tibia and the talus.
