Today's foot and ankle edition covers four diverse topics in lower extremity surgery and rehabilitation. We examine anatomical evidence supporting lateral supramalleolar flaps for dorsal forefoot reconstruction, evaluate bone marrow exposure techniques for diabetic foot gangrene, explore cerebellar stimulation as a novel intervention for chronic ankle instability, and compare surgical approaches for recalcitrant plantar fasciitis.
