The purpose of this article is to review the basic design features of second-generation total ankle arthroplasty components and to illustrate the normal and abnormal postoperative imaging features associated with such devices. The usefulness of CT in postoperative evaluation will be highlighted.

According to presented results, in-office needle tendoscopy yielded improvements in short-term clinical and functional outcomes for patients with midsubstance chronic Achilles tendinopathy.

While both corticosteroids and platelet-rich plasma may be effective treatments for patients with lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, PRP may offer longer-term functional improvements and pain relief, according to published results.

For total elbow arthroplasty, triceps options include the reflect, para-tricipital, split or tongue approach.
