Posttraumatic ankle equinus is associated with rigid deformity, poor skin condition, and multiple prior surgeries. Open acute correction has been described using osteotomies, talectomy, arthrodesis, but concerns exist about complications, neurologic alterations, secondary limb discrepancy, bone loss. Gradual a multiplanar ring fixator arthroscopic arthrodesis (AAA) may decrease these complications.We retrospectively reviewed patients undergoing of posttraumatic at least 1 year follow-up...
A 57-year-old male with unremarkable previous medical history, presented to the emergency department after a motorcycle accident. He described having suffered violent ankle dorsiflexion external rotation as mechanism of injury resulting pain and functional impairment localized in left calf ankle.
Background: In unstable ankle fractures, the role of deltoid and syndesmosis ligaments has been widely studied. However, it is uncertain what importance lateral ligament complex (LALC) in vertical stability fibula. Given its anatomical position, should prevent proximal translation This study aims to evaluate LALC stabilizing fibula plane. Methods: Eleven below-knee cadaveric specimens were used this study. Proximal traction was performed by applying 50 N intact state after sequential...
Intramedullary nailing of the fibula (FN) is a method fixation that has proven to be useful for treating distal fibular fractures (DFs). FN minimizes soft tissue complications and provides similar stability plating, with fewer hardware-related symptoms. Nevertheless, been associated syndesmotic malreduction incapacity restoring length rotation fibula. We aimed evaluate position reduction after compared uninjured ankle in immediate postoperative period.Prospective cohort study. Patients DF...
Category Sports; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Turf Toe remains a diagnostic challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. A high index of suspicion is needed, in addition to adequate imaging strategies characterize broad spectrum injuries involving this pathology. MRI provides excellent static soft-tissue details and it has become widely used determine anatomical structures damaged. However, defining stability 1st metatarsophalangeal (MTP) plantar plate complex difficult without proper dynamic...
Background Correction of hammertoe deformities at the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint results in an inherent loss motion that can be a concern for active patients who want to maintain toe function and grip strength. Diaphyseal phalangeal shortening osteotomy (DPPSO) is joint-sparing procedure resecting cylindrical portion phalanx on middiaphysis. Patients/Methods This was retrospective review including treated using DPPSO with least 1-year follow-up. Demographic, comorbidity, Visual...
Category: Lesser Toes Introduction/Purpose: Hammertoe deformities are a result of imbalance between static and dynamic stabilizers the lesser toes. Flexor-to-extensor tendon transfer PIP joint arthrodesis/arthroplasty gold standards treatment. Tendon transfers associated with stiffness, edema recurrence. sacrifices producing loss both motion toe grip. Phalangeal sustraction osteotomies have been proposed for correcting these by theoretically relaxing surrounding soft tissue structures...
Category: Trauma; Ankle Introduction/Purpose: Fibular nailing (FN) is a method of fixation that has proven to be useful for the treatment distal fibular fractures (DF). FN minimizes soft tissue complications, provides similar stability compared plating with less hardware related symptoms. Nevertheless, been associated syndesmotic malreduction and incapacity restoring length rotation fibula. We aimed evaluate reduction after uninjured ankle. Methods: Prospective cohort, cross-sectional study...
Category: Basic Sciences/Biologics; Ankle; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: In unstable ankle fractures, syndesmosis and the deltoid ligament have been widely studied, their importance in pathophysiology treatment is recognized. This not case of lateral ligaments, particular, role vertical stability fibula unknown. Given anatomical position, they should avoid proximal translation distal fragment fracture. Purpose: To quantify superior by applying a constant traction force as ligaments are...
Category: Trauma; Ankle; Hindfoot Introduction/Purpose: Distal tibia and hindfoot bone defects represent a challenging scenario for the foot ankle surgeon. Recovering stock whilst achieving fusion in an infection-free environment with no soft tissue are main objectives to obtain limb salvage. Bone transport arthrodesis using distraction osteogenesis is two-staged procedure management of intercalary defects. The initial stage consists resection non-vital osseous installation cement spacer....
Category: Trauma; Ankle Introduction/Purpose: The association between diaphyseal tibial fractures and posterior malleolus fracture has been reported 4 to 25% of cases. Early diagnosis requires a high level suspicion may change the surgical strategy. To our knowledge, no studies had compared functional quality life results with without extension. Methods: A retrospective comparative study including patients sustaining shaft classified by AO type 42, 43A, 43B1.1, minimum one-year follow-up....
