Insertional Achilles tendonitis: Causes, symptoms, and treatments
Achilles tendonitis (AT) is inflammation, pain, and swelling of the Achilles tendon. Insertional Achilles tendonitis is one type, which involves the lower part of the tendon that slots into the heel bone.
Anterior tibial tendonitis: Symptoms, risk factors, and treatment
Anterior tibial tendonitis is a type of ankle injury. The anterior tibial tendon lies at the front of the ankle and helps flex the foot upward. Injury to this tendon usually occurs due to overuse.
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.
