Achilles avulsion from the attachment to the calcaneus, rare but devastating injury. The principal remains that the tendon needs reattachment to bone, however this is not always that easy, and so as reinforcement, a LARS graft was utilized as an only patch to encourage healing to bone, while the tendon was repaired using anchors through a standard double row speed bridge type repair.

16 degrees of varus to the ankle corrected with a total ankle replacement, including a lateral ligament stabilization and MIS calcaneal valgising osteotomy.

The rare case where an MIS bunion can progress to a non-union.

The initial metal work required removal and the non-union site was debrided back to healthy bone and multiple drill passes to stimulate new bone.

A allograft cancellous buying block was used to fill the defect and stop the first Ray from over shortening. The central hole was drilled and filled with auto graft from the heel.

Fixation with plate and staple. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞

New year, new ankle replacement. The x-rays were deceptive, showing only relatively mild valgus, but the plan showed otherwise, confirming a 13 valgus tilt.
MRI showed patient's tib post tendon was ruptured as well, so a varising calcaneal osteotomy and Cotton osteotomy performed with deltoid repair to alleviate the valgus.

Ankle fusions can give very good pain relief however adjacent joint arthritis can occur which led to us taking down this ankle fusion and converting to an ankle replacement.

Good range of motion at the end, hopefully the patient will be satisfied with the increased movement and indirect offloading of the adjacent joints.

Sometimes ankles are chronically unstable and with either a previous failed reconstruction or in particularly the ligamentous lax, an augmentation with LARS is required.
The initial tunnel is placed in the calcaneus with a stab incision, held with an interference screw.
Through the standard lateral incision the ligaments are taken down and repaired back with 2x anchors Brostrom style.
A tunnel is drilled through the fibula in an AP direction, after which the LARS is retrieved passing under the peroneals and through the fibula tunnel from PA. This is similarly held with an interference screw.
Finally the tunnel for the ATFL is found under II guidance and the LARS passed through lateral to medial, held with one last interference screw.

Trimalleolar fracture dislocation with syndesmosis involvement. Quite a large vertical shear fragment off the medial malleolus. Might have preferred a buttress plate medially but this was not available, so screws it is instead.

Thank you for the invite to talk this weekend.

Seemed like a great program, clearly lots of hard work went into it.

I had some great questions and made some new connections, and that's the point of an amazing conference like this!

Hope to get an invite next year again!

Bunion funions. Percutaneous/keyhole/minimally invasive correction of bilateral bunions simultaneously. Have a great week everyone!

Bad fracture dislocation of the ankle. Normally I would place 2x syndesmosis buttons, but because the deltoid was repaired with anchors, I managed to get a really good reduction of the joint space, so managed to get away with 1x button just to make sure the syndesmosis heals.

Don't underestimate the power of the deltoid repair 🦾

So good having my colleague and mate Dr Navi Bali come all the way down again so we can have a great discussion about the intricacies of Inbone total ankle replacements. Great catching up with you and see you on the Coast soon!

Thanks .e from for spending the afternoon to late evening putting up with my slow surgeries 😆

As always we had some good discussions about cases and had some good variety. Come again soon and thanks for your tremendous input in looking after our patients with their rehab post op!
