Lengthening of the lateral column is commonly used for reconstruction adult and pediatric flatfoot, but can result in supination foot symptomatic overload. The addition a medial cuneiform osteotomy has been to redistribute forces column. combined use lengthening reproducible cadaver flatfoot model was evaluated.Twelve specimens were physiologically loaded each evaluated radiographically pedobarographically following conditions: 1) intact, 2) severe 3) with simulated flexor digitorum longus...
Background: Racial and ethnic disparities in hospital readmissions following total joint arthroplasty present opportunities for reducing cost improving health equity. Despite efforts to reduce the general population, no studies have documented impact of these on racial readmissions. The purpose this study was determine whether comprehensive impacted readmission rates during period from 2005 2015. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis comparing patients readmitted not within 30 days...
Background: Early functional rehabilitation is widely used after open suture repair of the Achilles tendon. To our knowledge, no previous studies have assessed gap formation from cyclic loading and subsequent failure loads simulated tendon repairs. A synthetic (polyblend) has been introduced for repairs with reportedly greater strength than polyester suture. This stronger, stiffer material may provide stronger less elongation repair. Methods: Simulated ruptures in bovine were repaired a...
The large posterior malleolus fragment seen in many unstable trimalleolar ankle fractures can be safely and effectively approached through the posterolateral approach to ankle. This allows for thorough debridement of fracture joint anatomic reduction with secure plate fixation on tibia. also related fibula combination malleolus, may reduce distal tibiofibular syndesmosis without need transosseous syndesmosis. With prone positioning, a medial intraoperative imaging is easily facilitated.
Summary: Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction has been identified over the past two decades as an important cause of acquired flatfoot deformity in adults. The posterior is major dynamic stabilizer medial longitudinal arch during normal human gait. A deficient allows overloading and progressive compromise secondary stabilizers arch. Loss both static restraints results hindfoot valgus, a collapsed arch, forefoot abduction (the characteristic planovalgus deformity). Tenosynovitis degenerative...
Talar neck fractures are an uncommon fracture that historically have been associated with high rates of complications such as malunion, post-traumatic arthritis, and avascular necrosis. A thorough understanding the anatomy available treatment options is vital to obtaining good clinical results. 2-incision approach lateral plating talar facilitates anatomic reduction, debridement subtalar joint debris, allows for stable extra-articular fixation.
Category: Patient Reported Outcomes Introduction/Purpose: Collection and reporting of (PROs) has become an integral part healthcare research. In effort to facilitate AOFAS member participation in secure efficient patient outcomes data collection, the Orthopaedic Foot Ankle Research (OFAR) Network, a national collaborative surgical registry, was established 2018 by for surgeons their patients. OFAR aims collect, aggregate, report PRO using measurement instruments developed National Institutes...
Category: Other; Ankle; Hindfoot; Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: As digital healthcare systems advance, patient reported outcomes (PRO) platforms offer an effective strategy for clinicians to evaluate relevant treatment outcomes. Initiated by AOFAS in 2018, the Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Outcomes Research (OFAR) Network was a multi-center surgical registry platform established collect, aggregate, report PRO data. OFAR included information, demographics, instruments developed National...
