Temporoparietal Fascial Flap for Soft Tissue Reconstruction of Pediatric and Young Adult Foot Defects: A Case Series
Rachel Lee,Jonathan Wheeler,Haemish Crawford
doi : 10.1053/j.jfas.2018.06.014
Volume 60, Issue 1, January–February 2021, Pages 140-145
Soft tissue defects of the foot due to trauma, infection, or malignancy are common and present a reconstructive challenge, as the foot requires specialized tissue that is thin, supple, yet durable enough to support the high demand of its function. The temporoparietal fascial flap, based on the superficial temporal artery and vein, is a reliable and versatile flap that possesses all these advantages.

A Functional Chopart’s Amputation With Tendon Transfers
Christopher J. Green,Christopher Bibbo,Austin McArdle,Chad Knight
doi : 10.1053/j.jfas.2020.08.019
Volume 60, Issue 1, January–February 2021, Pages 213-217
Generally, forefoot osteomyelitis is treated with a reliable level of amputation such as at the transmetatarsal level. However, when osteomyelitis extends proximal to the midfoot and presents with significant peripheral arterial disease, it is generally thought that the next best functional level of amputation is a transtibial amputation. This is mostly in part due to the high failure rate of Chopart's amputations which can be attributed to poor biomechanical and tendon balancing. We present a new technique of tendon balancing with a Chopart's amputation that results in optimized ambulatory function, durable soft tissue envelope of amputation, and successful limb salvage.
Innovative Fixation Technique for Avulsion Fractures of the Calcaneal Tuberosity

Avulsion fractures of the calcaneal tuberosity, although relatively uncommon, occur more frequently in patients with osteoporosis and in the elderly. The results of closed manipulation are poor in these fractures, usually requiring open reduction and internal fixation.
