Should we fix the fibula in tibial plafond fractures? A meta-analysis reviewing the evidence base for fibula open reduction and internal fixation in tibial plafond fractures.
Open reduction and internal fixation is the standard of care to stabilize tibial plafond fractures. However, it remains uncertain as to whether fixation of the fibula affects outcome. This study aimed to review the evidence base for comparable outcomes in tibial plafond fractures when undergoing open reduction and internal fixation of ipsilateral fibula fractures compared with open reduction and internal fixation of the tibia alone
A comparative analysis of between percutaneous cannulated screw fixation and traditional plate internal fixation in treatment of Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures
The objective of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous cannulated screw fixation and traditional plate internal fixation in the treatment of Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures.
Common Causes of Foot Pain
There are many different causes of foot pain—including plantar fasciitis, bunions, arthritis, and tarsal tunnel syndrome—each of which requires different treatments. Some of these conditions affect the bones and joints of the feet, while others involve nerves and connective tissues like ligaments and tendons.
7 Exercises for Bunions and Pain
Exercises for bunions and pain can help prevent or slow bunion development or progression by reducing pressure on the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint and strengthening the toe and foot muscles.
Postoperative complications do not differ with obesity in ankle arthroplasty
For patients undergoing total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), the impact of obesity on outcomes is unclear, according to two studies recently published in Foot & Ankle International.
