Although long-term functional outcomes are well documented, the incidence and relevance of degenerative changes in adjacent joints of the medial column after first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP1) fusion remain… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/footandankle/FAI_August_Podcast_2026.mp3?dest-id=308309) ## [FAI July 2026 Podcast: Accuracy of Patient-Specific Instruments for Supramalleolar Osteotomies](https://footandankle.libsyn.com/fai-july-2026-podcast-accuracy-of-patient-specific-instruments-for-supramalleolar-osteotomies) _2026-07-24 · Foot & Ankle International_ Supramalleolar osteotomy (SMO) enables deformity correction of the distal tibia, but the procedure remains technically demanding. Patient-specific instruments (PSIs) have the potential to mitigate the technical drawbacks associated with SMO that are performed free-hand, but their accuracy has not been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to perform a pre- vs post-operative comparison to assess the… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/footandankle/FAI_July_Podcast_2026.mp3?dest-id=308309) ## [FAI June 2026 Podcast: Surgical Helmet Systems Were Not Associated With Lower Operative Infection Rates After Total Ankle Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Cohort Study](https://footandankle.libsyn.com/fai-june-2026-podcast-surgical-helmet-systems-were-not-associated-with-lower-operative-infection-rates-after-total-ankle-arthroplasty-a-retrospective-cohort-study) _2026-06-15 · Foot & Ankle International_ Conflicting evidence exists regarding the ability of surgical helmet systems (SHSs) to reduce rates of infection after joint replacement. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of SHS in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and their effect on postoperative infection rates. In conclusion, Although SHS may provide additional protection for the surgeon from being contaminated during the… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/footandankle/FAI_June_Podcast_2026.mp3?dest-id=308309) ## [Long-Term Survivorship of INBONE II Total Ankle Arthroplasty](https://footandankle.libsyn.com/long-term-survivorship-of-inbone-ii-total-ankle-arthroplasty) _2026-05-14 · Foot & Ankle International_ As total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) use evolves, understanding implant longevity and survivorship expectations has become critical for patient counseling and decision making. The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term survivorship of the INBONE II TAA. In Conclusion, ten-year survivorship of INBONE II TAA was 93% in this cohort. Despite periprosthetic osteolysis and/or peri-implant… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/footandankle/FAI_May_2026_Podcast.mp3?dest-id=308309) ## [FAI April 2026 Podcast: 1,121 Salto Talaris Total Ankle Arthroplasties by a Single Surgeon: Mid-Term Survivorship, Complications, and Patient-Reported Outcomes](https://footandankle.libsyn.com/fai-april-2026-podcast-1121-salto-talaris-total-ankle-arthroplasties-by-a-single-surgeon-mid-term-survivorship-complications-and-patient-reported-outcomes) _2026-04-13 · Foot & Ankle International_ Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is increasingly used as a motion-preserving alternative to ankle arthrodesis for end-stage ankle disease. The Salto Talaris fixed-bearing prosthesis was designed to enhance joint kinematics while minimizing bone resection and reducing complications seen in earlier implant generations. This study reports midterm clinical outcomes, including survivorship,… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/footandankle/FAI_April_2026_Podcast.mp3?dest-id=308309) ## [FAI March 2026 Podcast: Effect of Earlier Weightbearing on Ankle Range of Motion and Complications After Primary Total Ankle Arthroplasty](https://footandankle.libsyn.com/fai-march-2026-podcast-effect-of-earlier-weightbearing-on-ankle-range-of-motion-and-complications-after-primary-total-ankle-arthroplasty) _2026-03-18 · Foot & Ankle International_ Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a viable option for the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis. Initiating weightbearing after a TAA has traditionally been conservative, with anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks of non-weightbearing recommended by surgeons. There is a scarcity of literature examining the impact of earlier weightbearing after TAA on postoperative outcomes. This study aimed to compare… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/footandankle/FAI_March_2026_Podcast.mp3?dest-id=308309) ## [FAI February 2026 Podcast](https://footandankle.libsyn.com/fai-february-2026-podcast) _2026-02-20 · Foot & Ankle International_ FAI podcast host, Dr. Mark Easley speaks with Drs.

There are few studies evaluating the medium- to long-term outcomes of the Roto-Glide prosthesis. In conclusion, first metatarsophalangeal joint replacement using Roto-Glide prosthesis results in statistically and clinically significant improvement in patient-reported… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/footandankle/FAI_January_2026_Podcast.mp3?dest-id=308309) ## [FAI December 2025 Podcast: Impact of Prior Ipsilateral Arthrodesis on Subsequent Ankle and Subtalar Fusion Outcomes: A Propensity-Matched Cohort Study](https://footandankle.libsyn.com/fai-december-2025-podcast-impact-of-prior-ipsilateral-arthrodesis-on-subsequent-ankle-and-subtalar-fusion-outcomes-a-propensity-matched-cohort-study) _2025-12-23 · Foot & Ankle International_ Although prior ankle or subtalar arthrodesis is thought to affect outcomes at adjacent joints, previous studies have not distinguished between successful and failed prior fusions. This study examines whether prior successful vs failed ipsilateral arthrodesis influences nonunion risk in subsequent ankle or subtalar fusion. The primary objective of this study is to examine nonunion rates after… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/footandankle/FAI_December_2025_Podcast.mp3?dest-id=308309) ## [Non-custodial Crypto Payments & Escrow (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/4U0VageHglBj) _2025-12-23 · **Sponsored**_ Accept multi-chain crypto with trustless escrow, instant confirmations, and no KYC ## [FAI November 2025 Podcast: Patient-Specific Instrumentation Does Not Improve Alignment Compared to the Extramedullary Foot Holder for the INBONE II Total Ankle Arthroplasty](https://footandankle.libsyn.com/fai-november-2025-podcast-patient-specific-instrumentation-does-not-improve-alignment-compared-to-the-extramedullary-foot-holder-for-the-inbone-ii-total-ankle-arthroplasty) _2025-11-27 · Foot & Ankle International_ Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) was developed to improve accuracy and efficiency in implant placement for total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). This study represents the first to measure the accuracy of PSI regarding implant alignment and implant size in the INBONE II total ankle system (Stryker). A secondary goal was to compare radiographic and clinical outcomes between the PSI and that of a… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/footandankle/FAI_November_2025_Podcast-_Edited.mp3?dest-id=308309)
