Multiple constructs have been described through literature with good fusion rates and patient outcomes. Methods allowing for ease of application and reduction of OR time without sacrificing surgical outcomes and fusion rates are therefore of considerable interest. Methods: In this study, we retrospectively reviewed a cohort of 33 patients undergoing arthrodesis of the first MTP utilizing a dynamic Nitinol staple and plate construct. The primary focus of our study was to evaluate the fusion rates following the aforementioned procedure. All patients within the study received a compression staple-plate construct placed across the first MTP and underwent the same post-operative protocol with radiographs taken at set intervals to evaluate fusion across the joint. Results: Our results demonstrated a 100% fusion rate with 3...

The interest in foot and ankle surgery fellowships has increased among graduating residents as have the number of fellowship programs. Since the introduction of these programs, there has been no formal investigation of the scholarly activity among foot and ankle surgery fellows. Using PubMed, a systematic review was conducted from papers published by fellows participating in American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons or American Podiatric Medical Association approved fellowships during 2013 to 2019. A total of 76 of the 128 identified fellows published research during or within one year of completing their fellowship. Fellows that published at least once prior to fellowship were more likely to publish during fellowship compared to those who had no publication history. Over this 6-year period, fellows contributed to 279 manuscripts where they maintained primary authorship of 34.41% of the publications, across 35 journals, with the most common being the Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery. Results of this study provide a survey of the scholastic activity among foot and ankle surgery fellows and could be used by applicants and evaluators to stratify applicant aptitude. These results could also serve as a scholarly activity benchmark for current fellows and a method of gauging scholarly involvement for new and current fellowships.
