Percutaneous surgery is experiencing sustained growth based on third-generation techniques. This cadaveric study was designed with the main goal of exploring risk iatrogenic tendon and neurovascular lesions defining safe zones in a percutaneous, intra-articular, chevron osteotomy (PeICO) procedure, as well assessing accuracy itself.Eight feet from below-knee fresh-frozen specimens were selected. After dissected, structures inspected for damage.The results safety measurements follows: (1)...

The expression "learning curve" indicates the relation between time needed to learn a new technique and technique-related outcome. Percutaneous surgery (also called "minimally invasive surgery") has experienced sustained respectable growth, especially in forefoot deformities. main purpose was assess number of feet necessary become skilled specific minimally (MIS) procedure.

Hallux rigidus is a degenerative condition of the first metatarsophalangeal joint resulting in stiffness and pain. Surgical treatments can be divided into joint-sparing joint-sacrificing procedures. Cheilectomy has been recommended as an isolated procedure for treatment low-grade hallux (I II, even III some articles). First metatarsal shortening osteotomies are indicated rigidus. The Shortening Percutaneous, Intra-articular, Chevron Osteotomy resembles Green-Watermann procedures regarding...

Background: Combining osteotomies and soft tissue procedures is believed to reduce sesamoids in their anatomical position maintain long-term correction when treating hallux valgus deformity. This study determines if a radiologic association exists between radiolucent sign full percutaneous adductor tendon release (PATR), including cadaveric consecutive case series. Another aim was determine the intra- interobserver reliability of these observations. Methods: A prospective observational made...

Background: Bunionette deformity is described as a painful bony prominence on the lateral aspect of fifth metatarsal head. The present study prospectively assessed clinical, functional, and radiographic outcomes sliding distal minimally invasive osteotomy (S-DMMO) used in large series patients with midterm follow-up period. Methods: From December 2015 to 2018, we evaluated 74 feet (57 patients). Radiologic (4-to-5 intermetatarsal angle, metatarsophalangeal head width, deviation length,...

Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated, yeast-like fungus that can cause a systemic mycosis, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Disseminated infections typically affect the central nervous system, and osseous lesions are infrequent. Only 5%–10% of disseminated cryptococcosis involves bones. A 69-year-old female presented pain, swelling, soft tissue mass her right lateral hindfoot. Her medical history included kidney transplant (10 years earlier) secondary to chronic disease due...

We present the case of a 43-year-old boy who presented with progressive pain as result history lateral avascular necrosis talus secondary to traumatic open ankle luxation 20 years ago. Conservative treatment (12-month period) prior surgery failed. It consisted physiokinetic treatment, insoles and analgesic medication. A diagnostic injection was used in (positive) subtalar joint (negative) order recognize origin pain. Hemilateral is rare. There are no reported cases use hemi-implants. This...

Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia is a frequent problem associated with surgical patients which can have significant consequences during surgery and in the immediate postoperative period. We compared 35 randomised using over vs. under body forced air heating. There were no statistically differences between some demographic parameters such as: age, weight, height, mass index, length of anaesthesia operation. Statistically found patient’s admission to operating room 30 minutes end...

Percutaneous (also called minimally invasive surgery) surgery has advanced and, nowadays, is a valid option for the treatment of hallux valgus deformities. This fact strongly supported by different studies. Early results third-generation procedures seem very promising with at least comparable deformity correction and less postoperative stiffness pain compared some open osteotomies. Percutaneous, intra-articular, chevron osteotomy one this type presents advantages when comparing other...

Complete disinsertion of the Achilles tendon is relatively rare but an injury considerable clinical significance. A 50-year-old non-smoking man presented with complete due to indirect low-energy trauma shortly after administration local corticosteroid injections (LCI) for treatment deep retrocalcaneal bursitis. Imaging studies showed as well severe Haglund syndrome and The was repaired, deformity bursa were then resected. Although rupture a frequent complication LCI, date, no cases have been...
