Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the high incidence of ankle sprains, the ideal treatment is controversial and a significant percentage of patients who have suffered an ankle sprain never fully recover. Even professional athletes are affected by this post-traumatic complication. There is strong evidence that permanent impairment after an ankle injury is often due to an inadequate rehabilitation and training program and too early return to sport. THERAPY AND REHABILITATION Therefore, athletes should start a criteria-based rehabilitation after ankle sprain and gradually progress through the programmed activities, including e.g. cryotherapy, edema reduction, optimal load management, range of motion exercises to improve ankle dorsiflexion and digital guidance, stretching of the triceps surae with isometric exercises and strengthening of the peroneus muscles, balance and proprioception training, and bracing/taping. The fact that this is professional sport does not exempt it from consistent, stage-appropriate treatment and a cautious increase in load. However, there are a number of measures and tools that can be used in the intensive care of athletes to improve treatment and results.

Abstract
Knee scooters are commonly used for mobility instead of other devices. However, passive popliteal venous flow impedance has been observed with knee scooter usage ostensibly as a result of deep knee flexion. This study aimed to characterize the magnitude of impact knee flexion has on popliteal venous flow in relation to the degree of knee flexion when walking boot immobilized. Furthermore, the countervailing effect of standardized pedal musculovenous pump (PMP) activation was observed. Popliteal venous diameter and flow metrics were assessed with venous ultrasonography in 24 healthy individuals. Straight leg, crutch, and knee scooter positioning while wearing a walking boot and non-weight-bearing were compared. Flow was assessed with muscles at rest and with PMP activation. Of 24 participants, 16 (67%) were female. Twelve limbs (50%) were right sided. The mean age was 21.9 (SD = 3.0) years, and the mean body mass index was 21.9 (SD 1.9) kg/m2. Observer consistencies were excellent (intraclass correlation range = 0.93 to 0.99). No significant differences in mean vessel diameter, time-averaged mean velocity, and total volume flow occurred (all P > .01). Corresponding knee flexion effect sizes were small (range = -0.04 to -0.26). A significant decrease (-24%) in active median time-averaged peak velocity occurred between upright and crutch positions (20.89 vs 15.92 cm/s; P < .001) with a medium effect size (-0.51). PMP activation increased all flow parameters (all P < .001), and effect sizes were comparatively larger (>0.6) across all knee flexion positions.Clinical Significance: Knee flexion has a small to medium impact on popliteal venous return in healthy patients. Active toe motion effectively counters the negative effects of gravity and knee flexion when the ankle is immobilized.Levels of Evidence: Therapeutic, Level IV.

Comparison of a Novel Muscle Training Device with Conventional Rehabilitation Training in Motor Dysfunction of Lower Limb Patients: A Pilot Study. Clin Interv Aging 2020; 15:2209-2218.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative functional training for fracture or osteoarthritis is mainly focused on functional self-exercise, which aims to recover the function of the lower limbs. PURPOSE To compare the function and life quality recovery in patients with fracture or arthritis treated with novel muscle training device (NMT) or conventional rehabilitation training (CRT) following surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 32 fracture patients were randomly divided into the NMT or the CRT groups. The evaluation was performed on the first and 7th day after surgery. The outcome measurements included the incidence of foot drop, Deep Vein Thrombosis and pressure ulcers, Hospital for Special Surgery knee score (HSS scores), pain scores for the Visual Analogue Scale (Pain scores for VAS), Zung self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and the Barthel Index score. RESULTS The comparison of the change scores between the two groups indicated significant differences on day 7 following surgery in the Barthel Index score (P<0.01). The Pain scores for VAS between the two groups indicated a significant difference (P<0.05, U=20.0). The HSS scores between the two groups indicated a significant difference (P<0.05, U=19.0). The HSS scores exhibited a highly significant difference in the NMT group (P<0.01). The Mann-Whitney test was used to analyze the various components of the HSS scores. The comparison of the change scores on the function between the two groups indicated a significant difference (P<0.05). The Range of Motion difference between groups exhibited highly significant differences (P<0.01). CONCLUSION The novel muscle training device positively influenced the decrease in pain score, which resulted in a range increase of knee joint movement and a significant overall improvement in motion.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism can occur in up to 84% of cases following total joint replacement. It can result in pain, swelling, chronic post-thrombotic syndrome, and pulmonary embolism. Its prevention is vital to the success of the surgery. To achieve a safe and effective prophylaxis, a combination of mechanical and pharmacologic agents should be used. New generation of thromboprophylactic agents target different factors of the coagulation pathway.

Abstract
The literature addressing functional outcome and survivorship of prosthesis components is constantly growing. However, the data on thromboprophylaxis and thrombembolic complications in patients who underwent TAR are scarce. A total of 31 studies were included in the systemic literature review. The incidence of thrombembolic complications varied between 0.0 % and 9.8 %. Most commonly, low molecular weight heparin was used as thromboprophylaxis for 6 weeks postoperatively. The incidence of thrombembolic complications was comparable with that of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis in patients with total knee or hip replacement.

Abstract
Total ankle replacement (TAR) has become a valuable treatment option in patients with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis. One popular 3-component system, the HINTEGRA TAR, is an unconstrained system that provides inversion-eversion stability. More natural biomechanics of the replaced ankle may be expected when anatomic considerations drive prosthesis design. The HINTEGRA prosthesis includes 2 anatomically contoured metal components and a polyethylene insert, providing axial rotation and physiologic flexion-extension mobility. This article describes the HINTEGRA TAR design and surgical technique. Use of the prosthesis for complex hindfoot reconstruction in patients with an osteoarthritic, varus, or valgus ankle deformity is described.
