Following the Complex Foot & Ankle Reconstruction session at the 2026 Foot Innovate Leadership Conference, moderator Daniel Latt, MD, joins faculty Greg Berlet, MD; Cesar de Cesar Netto, MD; and Todd Irwin, MD, for an in-depth roundtable discussion on surgical strategies for challenging foot and ankle reconstruction cases. The faculty explore approaches to managing large osseous defects, the role of biologic solutions in achieving successful fusion, and considerations for treating complex deformities. The discussion also addresses total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) in patients with valgus ankle alignment and severe flatfoot deformity, including the challenges associated with deformity correction and reconstruction. Additional topics include the role of tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) fusion, considerations for choosing fusion versus ankle replacement, and the surgical decision-making involved in managing complex foot and ankle pathology. Moderator: Daniel Latt, MD Featuring: Greg Berlet, MD; Cesar de Cesar Netto, MD; Todd Irwin, MD; Daniel Latt, MD Recorded live at the 2026 Foot Innovate Leadership Conference in Denver, Colorado.

Following the Forefoot Challenges & Hallux Valgus Reinvented session at the 2026 Foot Innovate Leadership Conference, moderator Mark Prissel, DPM, FACFAS, joins faculty Brad Abicht, DPM, FACFAS; Matthew Conti, MD; William DeCarbo, DPM, FACFAS; Marissa Jamieson, MD; and Bret Smith, DO, for a roundtable discussion on evolving approaches to hallux valgus correction and complex forefoot reconstruction. The faculty explore surgical decision-making surrounding minimally invasive (MIS) versus open techniques, including when traditional approaches may be preferred and how to select the appropriate procedure for individual patients. The conversation also examines strategies for preventing bunion recurrence, the role of intercuneiform fixation, and considerations for revision surgery following failed hallux valgus correction. Additional topics include using MIS techniques to salvage previous open procedures, revision Lapidus arthrodesis, and managing metatarsus adductus through both minimally invasive and open approaches.

Following the Mastering Ankle Instability & Sports Reconstruction session at the 2026 Foot Innovate Leadership Conference, moderator Bryan D. Den Hartog, MD, sits down with faculty Brian Burgess, DPM, FACFAS; James Cottom, DPM, FACFAS; Christopher D. Murawski, MD; and Justin Rennard, MD for a practical discussion on the evolving treatment of ankle instability and sports-related foot and ankle injuries. The faculty share their approaches to osteochondral lesions of the talus, including lesion size, debridement, bone grafting, cartilage restoration, and biologic augmentation, while discussing how treatment decisions change with larger or more complex defects. The conversation also explores open versus minimally invasive and arthroscopic ankle stabilization, surgical technique and the learning curve associated with MIS approaches, as well as the importance of identifying associated impingement and syndesmotic pathology. The panel then turns to Achilles pathology and rupture repair, comparing open and minimally invasive techniques, intraoperative tensioning, postoperative rehabilitation, and considerations for restoring tendon length and function. Finally, the group discusses syndesmotic and deltoid injuries, fixation strategies, assessment of instability, and considerations for higher-demand and athletic patients. Moderator: Bryan D.

Schweitzer Jr., MD; Alan Ng, DPM, FACFAS, for an in-depth roundtable discussion on the evolving landscape of total ankle arthroplasty. The faculty explore challenging questions surrounding osteolysis and cyst formation, polyethylene wear, metal allergy, implant fixation and longevity, patient activity after ankle replacement, and expectations for long-term outcomes. They also discuss emerging areas of research, including bone quality, patient-specific implants, advanced imaging, AI, and strategies that may shape the future of total ankle arthroplasty.

In the final episode of this three-part series, Dr. Berlet and Gary Justak examine current market dynamics and the forces shaping the future of foot and ankle care. Topics include recent market softness, elective vs. non-elective procedure trends, and why trauma and reconstruction have seen slower innovation compared to other segments. They close the series with a forward-looking discussion on education, access, and the ongoing opportunities to improve care through smarter technology, better data, and continued collaboration between surgeons and industry.
MIS, Technology Adoption, & the Next Wave of Bunion Treatment In Part 2, the conversation turns to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and its expanding role in foot and ankle care. Dr. Berlet and Gary Justak discuss the realities of MIS adoption—from learning curves and instrumentation challenges to patient demand and outcomes. They also explore how MIS fits into the broader evolution of bunion treatment, why the approach continues to gain momentum, and what must change to make these techniques more accessible, repeatable, and scalable for surgeons in everyday practice.
In Part 1 of Foot & Ankle Industry Perspectives, Dr. Greg Berlet and Gary Justak set the stage with a wide-ranging conversation on where the foot and ankle industry is headed. They explore how innovation, shifting sites of care, and evolving surgeon and patient expectations are reshaping the market. This episode focuses on big-picture themes—including the ASC migration, enabling technology, and how industry leaders think about solving real clinical problems—laying the foundation for the deeper discussions to come in Parts 2 and 3.
