TL;DR: Non-operative management of the medial malleolar component of an unstable ankle fracture treated with a fibular nail may reduce the rate of post-operative complications without compromising the patient reported outcome.

TL;DR: The epidemiology of Achilles tendon re-rupture is described and known trends are confirmed, while other novel findings are described, including incidence of a small but significant number of late re-ruption, occurring years after the primary injury and an increased incidence of re- interrupture in less socioeconomically deprived patients.

TL;DR: TSRCI occur predominantly in young to middle-aged adults with low levels of socioeconomic deprivation, most commonly when bicycle wheels get caught in tram-tracks, which can result in significant loss of working and cycling days.

TL;DR: Older age, avascular necrosis and open fractures predict poorer functional outcomes following talar fractures, and patients with worse limb-specific functional outcomes are more likely to have a worse perception of health-related quality of life.
