Elderly 78 year old lady, diabetic, fracture blisters and an undisplaced Weber C #.

The best indication for a minimally invasive fibula nail. Small cuts, better healing, immediate weight bearing and blisters have dried up well with use of silver dressings at 2wks post op.

Significant flat foot correction with triple arthrodesis. Stay tuned for post op clinical pics.
Admittedly with such a significant deformity it is often hard to recreate a normal looking foot can I find the heel still remains and slight valgus but to the patient it will be a significant enough correction.

MIS bunion correction. Again noting benefits of 3D correction ensuring the rotation of the toe is corrected at time of surgery. In most cases, if this is corrected, there is minimal to no need to "shave" the actual bunion away.

03/08/2025

Rare case of a chronic FHL tendon rupture to the great toe. 1st pic showing a large gap approximately 6cm after retraction. This required a plantaris tendon allograft to bridge the gap.

6 months post op and able to begin a single heel raise, with a well healed wound. Still minimal flexion at the IPJ, but this is unfortunately what literature reports as well. Toe is at least sitting in better position with less aching.

All in a days work. Post traumatic ankle arthritis requiring a fusion.

A bimalleolar ankle fracture requiring fixation and deltoid ligament repair

Another seemingly innocuous Weber B fracture that ended up requiring a deltoid repair as well due to increased valgus tilt and medial clear space widening.

20/07/2025

Another bunion correction as requested. Again as we're noticing rotation is very important to take into account as noted on the first picture. This is a significant benefit of performing this procedure minimally invasive, allowing 3D correction.

13/07/2025

Another flat foot reconstruction, the heel wasn't too valgus, but noted abduction and talonavicular uncoverage, so an Evans was performed instead along with a Cotton osteotomy and TAL. The tib post tendon was noted torn only, so this was repaired and not transferred.

06/07/2025

Trimalleolar fracture dislocation of the ankle. Open fixation of all 3 components, in particular use of the postero-medial approach rather than a standard posterolateral, which can decrease incidence of peroneal artery injury causing stiffness to the ankle via necrosis of the FHL muscle.

Weight bearing after 2 weeks in a Cam boot, as these are prone to developing stiffness post op.

Bunion/hallux valgus correction Sunday funday!

23/06/2025

Significant flat foot corrected with a triple fusion of the hind foot. Included a gastroc recession and a allograft bone block in the subtalar joint to maintain height. The 1st TMTJ was also fused to get appropriate plantarflexion of the 1st ray and correct the hallux valgus, noting the sesamoid are in more appropriate alignment as well.

16/06/2025

Thanks for coming along to observe our surgeries. We managed to get through a difficult rheumatoid ankle replacement, plantar fascia release with proximal medial gastroc release and some flexor tendon releases. It was a pleasure having you and hope to work together with you and more in future.

15/06/2025

Follow up on this patient who had a significant equinus deformity, never having touched her heel to the floor for 20 years. Closing wedge Chopart joint fusion and subtalar joint fusion with Achilles lengthening. Still lacking about 15 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion, but at least she can get her heel to the ground. Now preparing for a second stage ankle replacement to get her more range.
