What You Should Know About the Forefoot
You may be surprised to learn that your forefoot carries and balances nearly half of the body's total weight, and is designed to handle significant force and wear-and-tear.
Anterior Tibial Tendonitis: What to Know About This Ankle Injury
Anterior tibial tendonitis can cause front ankle pain, rather than inner ankle pain. Some people feel pain on the top of their feet. The condition affects the tendon that connects the foot to the tibialis anterior muscle, which runs down the front of the leg (the shin). The muscles and tendons help flex your foot upward and stabilize your foot arch.
Everything You Need to Know About Peroneal Tendonitis
Peroneal tendonitis, or an inflammation of the peroneal tendons, often presents as pain that is felt on the outside of the foot or outer ankle and gets worse with activity.1 It happens when the peroneal tendons, the peroneal longus and peroneal brevis, become inflamed as they run over your ankle and foot bones.
How an Achilles Tendon Rupture Is Treated Without Surgery
An Achilles tendon rupture is a traumatic injury that can cause significant disability after it occurs. This condition typically happens without warning and can make it challenging to walk or bear weight through your leg.
Can Orthotics Help With Rheumatoid Arthritis?
While there is no cure for RA, there are various treatments available to help you manage disease progression, reduce pain, and help you stay active. Orthotic treatments are one of the non-surgical and non-medication options you might consider if the joints of your feet are affected by rheumatoid arthritis.
Complications following surgical treatment of ankle fractures in the elderly: can they be avoided?
Following surgical treatment of ankle fractures, geriatric patients face high complication rates (CR) in literature. Commonly used diagnostic and treatment algorithms fail to consider requirements of ageing patients which increases the risk of postoperative complications. Objective: Present study critically evaluated surgical management of ankle fractures in patients over 65 years old, with focus on identifying modifiable risk factors and effective comorbidity management strategies.
Primary arthrodesis for diabetic ankle fractures using a modified retrograde femoral intramedullary locking nail combined with lateral plating, surgical technique, and early results of a pilot study
We aimed to report the early results of performing acute ankle arthrodesis using a modified retrograde femoral intramedullary locking IMN concomitant with plating at the same setting for managing diabetic patients' acute ankle fractures.
Ankle distraction arthroplasty: A regenerative solution for osteoarthritis
Ankle distraction arthroplasty is a mechano-biological treatment for osteoarthritis of the ankle that serves as an alternative to ankle arthrodesis and prosthetic arthroplasty, or total ankle replacement.
Anterior Talofibular Ligament Repair in Combination With Anterior Tibiofibular Ligament Distal Fascicle Transfer for The Treatment of Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability: A Finite Element Analysis
In recent years, anterior tibiofibular ligament-distal fascicle transfers for anterior talofibular ligament augmentation repair have proposed. However, a comprehensive biomechanical study on the anterior tibiofibular ligament-distal fascicle transfer is still lacking.
Physical Therapy for a Broken Ankle
A broken ankle can severely limit your ability to perform basic functional tasks like running and walking. This painful injury can cause loss of lower extremity strength, range of motion, and pain. These impairments can make performing your normal everyday activities difficult or impossible.
