Highlights:
• Social determinants of health such as race, insurance type, and socioeconomic status influenced postoperative outcomes in patients with Lisfranc injuries.
• Those with private insurance as well as white patients reported better postoperative physical and mental health outcomes.
• Higher social vulnerability and area deprivation were associated with lower patient-reported outcomes in physical, mental, and pain domains.
• To address these health disparities, there needs to be more targeted interventions in orthopaedic care based on neighborhood and socioeconomic factors.

Did you know the strength of your foot muscles could affect your risk of falling as you get older?

In our new study, we found that smaller foot muscles on MRI were linked to more frequent falls in older adults.

💡 This means that keeping your feet strong isn’t just about walking — it could also help prevent dangerous falls and keep you independent longer.
Exercises that strengthen the feet and ankles may be a powerful step toward better balance and safety. 🦶💪

Can a smartphone camera help diagnose fractures?
Our team at FARIL-MGH developed FIXUS AI, a deep learning algorithm trained on smartphone-captured X-rays, to detect fifth metatarsal fractures.

Results:
• AUROC up to 0.99 (near-perfect accuracy!)
• Outperformed models trained only on high-quality hospital images
• Proves that AI + smartphones can be powerful tools in resource-limited settings 🌍
This breakthrough highlights how everyday technology can bring expert-level diagnostics closer to patients worldwide.
