‘Quadrimalleolar’ fractures may represent large portion of ankle fractures
Anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament avulsions were identified in 18.2% of all ankle fractures.Overall, 44.6% of patients with trimalleolar fractures had anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament avulsions.
Metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joint angle measurements on weight-bearing CT images
The aim of this study was to present and evaluate methods of measuring toe joint angels using joint-surface based and inertial axes approaches.
Development of a foot and ankle strengthening program for the treatment of plantar heel pain: a Delphi consensus study
People with plantar heel pain (PHP) have reduced foot and ankle muscle function, strength and size, which is frequently treated by muscle strengthening exercises. However, there has been little investigation of what exercises are used and there is no sound evidence base to guide practice. This study aimed to develop a consensus-driven progressive muscle strengthening program for PHP.
Tips for performing MIS beaming for Charcot foot reconstruction
New MIS techniques have recently emerged in Charcot foot reconstruction that combines percutaneous deformity correction and fusion with intramedullary beaming to restore coronal and sagittal alignment with significantly reduced soft tissue dissection.
Immediate Weight Bearing Following 1st Metatarsal Phalangeal Joint Arthrodesis with 2 Nickel Titanium Alloy Staples
The aim of this study is to determine whether the use of 2 nickel-titanium alloy (NITINOL) staples, placed at 90 degrees to one another is a stable enough construct to support full, immediate weight bearing following 1st MTPJ arthrodesis.
