Ankle osteoarthritis is one of the most complex conditions in foot and ankle surgery. Frequently posttraumatic and often combined with deformities, it challenges surgeons at every stage of treatment. When conservative options fail, choosing the right surgical strategy becomes crucial — from joint-preserving procedures to total ankle arthroplasty and, when necessary, ankle arthrodesis.

The 𝐈𝐁𝐑𝐀 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 – 𝟓𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐧𝐤𝐥𝐞 𝐎𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 offers an in-depth, practice-oriented approach to the full treatment spectrum of ankle osteoarthritis. Through expert-led discussions and hands-on surgical training, participants gain a clear understanding of indications, treatment algorithms, and real world outcomes. The course is designed to translate knowledge directly into surgical decision-making and improved patient care.

🔎 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 #𝟗
This week in IBRA Flash, we explore the Advantages of the Retroauricular Transmeatal Approach: A Comprehensive Review by Dr. Bianca Pulino, Univ. Prof. Dr. Dr. Andreas Neff, Prof. Dr. Raphael Capelli Guerra

The retroauricular transmeatal approach offers a direct, minimally invasive access to mandibular condyle fractures, enabling:
- Precise anatomical reduction and rigid fixation with miniplates and screws.
- Reduced risk of facial nerve injury compared to traditional extraoral approaches.
- Superior aesthetic outcomes thanks to a hidden scar behind the ear.
- Mechanical advantage for screw placement at 90° to the bone surface.
- Ideal for high condylar fractures, patients with prior preauricular surgery, or those concerned about visible scars.

Challenges:
- Requires transection and reconstruction of the auditory canal (risk of stenosis).
- Possible temporary sensory loss in auriculotemporal nerve region.
- This approach is a valid alternative for complex condylar fractures, balancing functional recovery, aesthetics, and nerve safety.

🎓 Interested in exploring the topic further? Learn directly from co-author Univ. Prof. Dr. Dr. Andreas Neff, who will be part of the faculty for the upcoming course:
