Hallux valgus (HV) is a complex deformity, with many associated risk factors. The flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon dynamic and potentially deforming force as it bowstrings laterally HV. We hypothesized that FHL more inserted in the distal phalanx cadavers HV; therefore, might be also primary destabilizing force. aim to compare insertion morphology its relationship osseous structures without
Objective: Describe flexor hallucis longus (FHL) distal insertion. Methods: Ten cadaver feet were dissected to evaluate FHL insertion, the width of and distance between insertion borders medial-lateral phalangeal borders. Results: All specimens showed a lateral tendon fascicle inserted more than main The mean medial border was 3 mm 5.2 mm. long axis 12.36% laterally deviated at metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint 14.07% interphalangeal (IP) joint. Conclusion: has closer phalanx border, its...

Ankle hemiarthroplasty is a 1-piece implant system replacing the talar side of tibiotalar joint. Hemiarthroplasty offers limited bone resection and may provide easier revision options than joint-ablating procedures.Prospective, multicenter, noncomparative, nonrandomized clinical study with short term follow-up on patients undergoing ankle. Radiologic functional outcomes (Foot Outcome Score FAOS, Foot Ability Measure [FAAM], Short Form-36 Health Survey [SF-36], Musculoskeletal Functional...
Hallux saltans is a rare condition characterized by an entrapment of the flexor hallucis longus. Its tendon passes through retromalleolar groove below retinaculum, directing plantar aspect foot fibro-osseous tunnel sustentaculum tali. This study presents young active patient without any conditions or etiological agents previously described in literature that could explain cause this condition. After failing conservative treatments, arthroscopic release and fibrous was performed, achieving...
Medial ankle sprains have a very low incidence (5% of ligament injuries), and most the time, first structure involved is deltoid complex. However, other structures, such as spring ligament, posterior tibial tendon, flexor retinaculum, can also get damaged. A 32-year-old man who had an sprain while performing sports activities showed magnetic resonance imaging findings compatible with detachment retinaculum medial dislocation tendon. Surgical intervention was suggested to this patient;...
Objective: Our objective was to compare foot width (bony and soft tissues) in radiological images pre- vs. post-corrective scarf osteotomy patients with hallux valgus. Methods: We retrospectively performed measurements of forefoot (both bony diameter total including on anterior posterior standard radiographs 30 patients, totaling 42 feet, postoperatively, at three months. These were by two evaluators their reliability calculated. Results: Radiologically, preoperative mean the 1-5 metatarsal...
