Background: There is no consensus on the optimal treatment or preferred method of operation for management acute deltoid ligament injuries during an ankle fracture fixation. This study aimed to analyze outcomes repairing fixation compared conservative management. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 78 consecutive cases a ruptured with associated between 2001 and 2016. All fractures were treated plate screw Patients in underwent from 2008 (37 fractures, group 1), while operative was...

Background: We hypothesized that a dorsomedial locking plate with adjunct screw compression would provide superior rigidity compared to crossed screws for first metatarsocuneiform (MTC) arthrodesis. Materials and Methods: In ten matched lower extremity pairs, specimens in each pair were randomly assigned receive fixation or fixation. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured. For the crossed-screw construct, two 4.0-mm cannulated used. One inserted dorsal plantar beginning from metatarsal 10...

Background: An infected Achilles tendon after repair is particularly difficult to treat because of the poor vascularity as well thin surrounding soft tissue. For treatment an following repair, we first focused on complete debridement and then promoted fibrous scar healing using functional treatment. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all medical records 15 tertiary referral patients with postoperative infection occurring between 2007 2012. The mean follow-up time was 33 months (range, 22...

This study was designed to evaluate the mid-term results and efficacy of subtalar distraction double bone-block arthrodesis for calcaneal malunion.From January 2004 June 2007, we operated on 6 patients (10 cases). There were 5 males (9 cases) 1 female (1 case), four which presented with bilateral malunion. Seven cases initially. The period between initial injury 23 months, average follow up 58 months. In operation, applied an extensile lateral approach performed through a tricortical...

IntroductionAs minimal invasive techniques for depressed calcaneal fracture treatment have become more common, great progress has been achieved with various surgical methods. While these are still currently utilized, new methods developed. This study aimed to report the radiologic and clinical outcomes of “push-out molding” technique propose its utility.Materials methodsFrom March 2009 October 2020, a retrospective was conducted 52 patients, who received treat intra-articular fractures...

Category: Trauma Introduction/Purpose: To compare clinical outcome of Sanders type IV intra-articular calcaneal fracture treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) versus ORIF primary subtalar arthrodesis (PSTA). Methods: Between March 2003 November 2013, 22 patients fractures were included in this study. Of these, 11 feet (ORIF group), PSTA (PSTA group). The mean follow-up periods was 34.6 months (range, 18-72 months). Clinical outcomes assessed along the American Orthopaedic...

Category: Trauma Introduction/Purpose: This study aims to assess the detailed radiologic outcomes which used uninjured side weight-bearing radiograph as a template well clinical results compare Ollier approach with screw fixation and extensile lateral plating. Methods: We performed retrospective review of intra-articular calcaneal fractures treated operatively in our hospital from January 2009 November 2014. Radiologic were assessed using parameters such Böhler angle, height, talar sagittal...

Microfracture procedure has been widely recognized as the primary surgical treatment for an osteochondral lesion of talus. However, if symptoms persist after initial surgery, selection a secondary can be difficult. The author desciribes advantage and value autologous transplantation failed microfracture with review sevral previous published articles.

Purpose: Variations in the preferred conservative and operative treatment methods for ankle arthritis may be observed practice of orthopedic surgeons.This study is based on Korean Foot Ankle Society (KFAS) member survey aims to report current trend changes management over last few decades. Materials Methods:A web-based questionnaire containing 24 questions was sent all KFAS members July 2021.The were mainly related techniques clinical experience osteotomy, arthrodesis, total arthroplasty...

The goal of surgical correction for hallux valgus is to achieve a painless, shoe-wearable, and relatively straight toe with balanced joint motion that results in aesthetically functionally satisfactory toe. To date, there has not been consensus on the ultimate procedure correction. Unfortunately, such may be difficult since it uncommon encounter complications after Postoperative soft tissue include wound healing, infection, hypertrophy, or pain scar, stiffness, tendon sensory nerve damage....

Purpose Ingrown toenails are a common disease in the adolescent period and treatments could be more conservative for this early stage of disease. This study is case series on results gutter splint an ingrown toe nail as simple, comfortable treatment method. Materials Methods From 2011 to 2018, 22 patients (mean age, 12.2 years; range, 8∼15 years) with were treated splint. There 16 boys 6 girls 7 both great toes, additional 4 corners nail, giving total 33 splints. Flat, plastic straws glue or...
