Abstract
BACKGROUND ViviGen is an allogeneic cellular bone matrix product containing lineage-committed bone cells, and can be used as an alternative to autograft bone or other augments to aid in arthrodesis or to enhance bony healing in open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) procedures. METHODS This study included 153 consecutive patients undergoing ankle, midfoot, or hindfoot arthrodesis or ORIF procedures from January 2017 to October 2018, in which an allogeneic cellular bone matrix product was used to aid in bony healing. Retrospective chart review identified patient demographic factors and medical comorbidities and evaluated clinical and radiographic data to determine fusion/union rate and complications. RESULTS The overall fusion rate for the arthrodesis cohort was 97/113 (85.8%). The overall complication rate in this cohort was 22/113 (19.5%). Smokers had significantly lower rates of fusion compared with nonsmokers (P = .01). The observed bony healing rate for the ORIF cohort was 19/22 (86.4%), with a complication rate of 3/22 (13.6%). CONCLUSION With satisfactory fusion rates and relatively few complications, our findings suggest that ViviGen is a safe and efficacious alternative to other forms of bone graft augmentation for fusion and ORIF procedures about the foot and ankle. Further study is needed to compare the efficacy of ViviGen with autograft bone and other augments. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE Level IV: Case series.

Safety and Efficacy of Several Versus Isolated Prophylactic Flexor Tenotomies in Diabetes Patients: A 1-Year Prospective Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11144093. [PMID: 35887856 PMCID: PMC9316570 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11144093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 07/09/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: To assess long-term clinical outcomes of patients who underwent isolated versus several percutaneous flexor tenotomies for the treatment of toe deformities and previous diabetic foot ulcers; Methods: Twenty-three patients (mean age 66.26 ± 11.20, years) who underwent prophylactic percutaneous flexor tenotomies secondary to tip-toe ulcers participated in this 1-year prospective study. The study was stratified into two groups for analyses: (1) isolated tenotomies patients, and (2) several tenotomies patients (two or more tenotomies). Outcome measures were toe reulceration and recurrence, minor lesions, digital deformities, and peak plantar pressure (PPP—N/cm2) and pressure/time Integral (PTI—N/cm2/s) in the hallux and minor toes after a 1-year follow-up period; Results: Patients with isolated tenotomies (n = 11, 35.48%) showed a higher rate of reulceration (n = 8, 72.7%, p < 0.001) in the adjacent toes, additionally, we found more prevalence of hyperkeratosis (n = 11, 100%), minor lesions (n = 9, 81%), and claw toes (n = 11, 100%) (p < 0.001). In several tenotomies patients (n = 20, 64.52%), we found a higher rate of floating toes (n = 16, 80%) in comparison with isolated tenotomies patients (p < 0.001). PPP and PTI in the non-tenotomy toes were higher in the group of patients who underwent isolated tenotomies (p < 0.001); Conclusions: Patients who underwent several tenotomies had better clinical outcomes after a 1-year follow-up period compared to isolated tenotomies.

Mini-open vs. Transfibular Approach for Ankle Arthrodesis, Which Approach is Superior in Joint Preparation: A Cadaver Study. Indian J Orthop 2021; 55:135-141.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arthrodesis is considered the gold standard for end-stage ankle arthritis in patients who fail conservative management. Achieving union is paramount while minimizing complications. An essential item for successful union is preparation of the articular surface. Our study aims to evaluate the difference in joint preparation between direct lateral and dual mini-open approaches. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten below knee fresh-frozen specimens were used for this study. Five were prepared through lateral approach, and five using dual mini-incisions. After preparation, all ankles were dissected and images of tibial plafond and talar articular surfaces were taken. Surface areas of articulating facets and unprepared cartilage of talus, distal tibia, and distal fibula were measured and analyzed. RESULTS A greater amount of total surface area was prepared with the mini-open approach in comparison to the transfibular approach. Percentage of prepared surface area of total articulating surface (including talus and tibia/fibula), talus, tibia, and fibula with the transfibular approach were 76.9%, 77.7%, and 75%, respectively. Percentages were 90.9%, 92.9%, and 88.6% with the mini-open approach. When excluding medial gutter, there was no significant difference between techniques (83.94% vs. 90.85%, p = 0.1412). CONCLUSION Joint preparation with the mini-open approach is equally efficacious as the transfibular approach for the tibiotalar joint. The mini-open approach does provide superior preparation of the medial gutter and inferior tibial surface which may help to increase union rates and decreased complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of digital deformities in patients with diabetes mellitus according to the McGlamry classification and relate the types of digital deformities with the history of digital ulcer. A cross-sectional study was performed in the diabetic foot unit between September 2016 and September 2017. All consecutive patients were classified by digital deformities according to the McGlamry classification (flexor stabilization, flexor substitution, and extensor substitution) using slow-motion videos. In all patients, the Foot Posture Index 6 was performed and previous toe ulceration, toe calluses, and nail dystrophy were evaluated. A total of 142 feet were evaluated, in which 29 (20.27%) feet did not show dynamic deformities, 65 (57.5%) were classified as flexor stabilization, 9 (8%) as flexor substitution, and 39 (34.5%) as extensor substitution. In total, 23% the feet with previous ulcer were classified as extensor substitution. A previous toe ulcer on the tip (p = .033; confidence interval [CI] 1.06 to 4.99; odds ratio [OR] 2.3), pronated foot according to the Foot Posture Index 6 (p = .048; 95% CI 0.9 to 8.9; OR 2.9), and callus on the tip (p = .002; 95% CI 1.47 to 6.41; OR 3.07) were associated with flexor stabilization deformities. Flexor stabilization, associated with the pronated foot, was the most prevalent dynamic deformity. Extensor substitution was present in approximately 40% of the patients and in 20% of the patients with previous ulcer, in whom flexor tenotomy could aggravate the digital deformity. An evaluation of dynamic deformities during gait should be included as a presurgical assessment to achieve successful surgical results.
