Today's foot and ankle edition covers four diverse studies examining both pediatric and adult pathologies. We explore the effectiveness of the Ponseti method in challenging clubfoot cases, compare fixation techniques in minimally invasive bunion surgery, evaluate functional outcomes between intramedullary nailing and plating for distal tibia fractures, and review an innovative bone transport technique for complex tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis in infected cases.
