🚨🚨New Website Launch 🚨🚨

We are delighted to announce the launch of a brand new website dedicated to the clinical work of Professor Lyndon Mason — a comprehensive resource showcasing the full range of foot and ankle treatments and procedures he offers.

The new site has been developed to make it easier for patients, families and referrers to understand conditions, explore treatment options and know what to expect from surgery and recovery. It includes detailed information pages on procedures such as bunion surgery, ankle fusion, flat foot reconstruction, osteotomies, tendon repairs, ankle arthroscopy, neuroma surgery, forefoot reconstruction, hindfoot fusion, ingrown toenail surgery, fracture fixation and more.

This level of clarity supports modern informed consent, shared decision-making and patient confidence.

The website also reflects the breadth of practice that Professor Mason undertakes at the Liverpool Foot & Ankle Clinic, offering both non-surgical and surgical solutions, including minimally invasive techniques and complex reconstruction.

We hope patients, families and colleagues find the new platform helpful, informative and reassuring.

The new site is now live and can be accessed at: https://lyndonmason.com/

🔍 New Publication from members of the team – Hybrid Fixation for Syndesmotic Injuries

Delighted to share our latest publication “Hybrid Fixation for Syndesmotic Stabilisation: A Systematic Review of Clinical and Biomechanical Evidence”, published in Journal of Clinical Medicine. A great collaboration with Jed Bailey, Richard Huynh, Konstantinos Tsikopoulos, and Vasileios Lampridis.

🦴 What is Hybrid Fixation?

Hybrid Fixation (HF) combines a syndesmotic screw with a dynamic suture-button device.

📌 In practice:
• The screw theoretically helps maintain length and reduction, especially in high ‘length-unstable’ fibular fractures where suture-button alone may be insufficient.
• If the screw later breaks or loosens, the suture-button continues to maintain rotational control and dynamic stability, potentially preventing late diastasis.

This dual-support mechanism is one reason hybrid constructs are becoming more popular in complex syndesmotic injuries.

📌 Key Findings from the Review:

• 93 patients treated with hybrid fixation across clinical studies
• Excellent functional outcomes – mean AOFAS 93.3 at final follow-up
• Reduction maintained radiographically
• Low malreduction & unplanned removal (3.2%)
• Implant failure (screw breakage) 15.1% – all asymptomatic, reinforcing the benefit of the dual-construct approach
• Biomechanical studies show HF restores near-native kinematics and supports early weightbearing.

Hybrid fixation appears to offer a balance between screw and suture-button constructs, particularly in ‘length-unstable’ patterns, where fibular length is not controlled by a plate or I’m device. Maintaining reduction and rotational control is essential, and there are potential advantages of hybrid in these situations. Further comparative studies and long-term outcomes will help refine indications and technique.

📘 Updating our Ankle Arthritis Treatment Leaflet | Liverpool Foot & Ankle Clinic

We’ve updated our ankle arthritis treatment information leaflet to reflect the findings of the recently published Oxford population study examining the long-term outcomes of total ankle replacement (TAR) versus ankle fusion (AF) in over 41,000 patients across England with up to 25 years of follow-up https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41355435/

This high-quality national data provides important reassurance for patients and clinicians alike:
• ✅ Both ankle replacement and ankle fusion are safe, effective definitive treatments for end-stage ankle arthritis
• 📉 Ankle fusion showed lower long-term revision rates compared with ankle replacement
• 🔁 Importantly, ankle fusion did not increase the long-term risk of adjacent hindfoot fusion, a common concern
• 🧠 The study reinforces that treatment choice should be individualised, based on patient age, activity, expectations, anatomy and comorbidities — not myths or assumptions

At Liverpool Foot & Ankle Clinic, we are committed to evidence-based, transparent shared decision-making. Updating our patient information ensures consultations are grounded in the best available long-term data, helping patients fully understand the benefits and trade-offs of each option.

📄 The revised leaflet is now used routinely in clinic to support informed discussions about ankle arthritis care.

✨ Congratulations to Professor ✨

We are proud to share that Professor Lyndon Mason was invited faculty once again at the 24th Oswestry Foot & Ankle Course, delivering a session on Heel Pain & Tendo-Achilles Disorders and Achilles tendon ruptures.

This course holds particular meaning for Prof Mason, who attended as a trainee many years ago before returning year after year as faculty. It continues to be one of the best-established and highest-quality foot & ankle educational courses in the UK, now running for over two decades and consistently attracting leading speakers and enthusiastic delegates from across the country.

To contribute once again to such a respected programme—supporting the development of the next generation of surgeons—is a privilege and a highlight every year.

A huge thank you to Mr Nilesh Makwana and the entire organising team for continuing to deliver an outstanding learning experience, and congratulations to all involved for another excellent course.

From Liverpool Foot & Ankle Clinic:
We remain committed to advancing education, research, and surgical excellence within the global foot & ankle community.
