The short-term results of modified Brostrom procedures (MBP) have been satisfactory. However, the long-term anatomical reconstruction less frequently reported. We report on our in patient group.Thirty patients with chronic ankle instability who were treated using MBP without CFL from March 1997 to June 1999 evaluated retrospectively. This consecutive series was comprised 26 males and four females. mean age at time operation 23 years. followup period 10.6 Twenty-four 30 high-level amateur or...
Background: Correlation between foot structure and stress fracture risk has not been adequately evaluated or proven. The purpose of this study was to compare in cases versus control with respect radiological parameters fractures the fifth metatarsal. Materials Methods: group consisted 50 consecutive athletes a diagnosis metatarsal matched for sport type age. Fifth metatarsopha-langeal (MTP-5) angle, fourth-fifth intermetatarsal (IMA4–5) lateral deviation (MT5-LD) angle were measured on...
Diabetic foot wound (DFW) is known as a major contributor of nontraumatic lower extremity amputation. We aimed to evaluate overall amputation rates and risk factors for in patients with DFW.From January 2014 December 2017, 141 DFW were enrolled. determined peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). In addition, we investigated predictors diabetic ulcer (DFU).The rate was 26.2% DFW. Among DFWs, 76 (53.9%) had PAOD 29 (38.2%) DFWs underwent Wound state according Wagner classification,...
Background: Peritalar subluxation (PTS) is part of progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD). This study aimed to evaluate initial correction and PTS optimization in PCFD patients with flexible hindfoot undergoing joint-sparing surgical procedures its relationship improvements patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at latest follow-up. We hypothesized that significant deformity/PTS would be observed postoperatively, positively correlating improved PROMs. Methods: A prospective...
The results of modified Kidner procedures have generally been satisfactory at short-term followup. objective this study was to evaluate the midterm followup including medial longitudinal arch height.Forty-one patients (50 feet) with a symptomatic accessory navicular who underwent procedure between July 1999 and February 2004 were evaluated. A midfoot AOFAS score, VAS satisfaction rate recorded. talo-first metatarsal (T-MT1), talo-calcaneal (TC), calcaneal pitch (CP) angles measured on plain...
Background: There have been reports about the association between obesity and medial longitudinal arch (MLA) of foot. The purpose this study is to investigate change various parameters related MLA according classification severity by World Health Organization using weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT). Methods: WBCT data noninvolved side patients presenting with unilateral foot ankle problems or healthy candidates from September 2014 October 2022 were extracted a single referral...
Level of Evidence: V, Expert Opinion
Background: The transverse arch (TA) has recently been shown to significantly increase the intrinsic stiffness of midfoot when coupled with medial longitudinal (MLA). Progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) is a complex that ultimately results in loss and collapse MLA. role TA not investigated patients diagnosed this disorder using weightbearing CT (WBCT). Therefore, study aims answer following questions: (1) Is curvature decreased PCFD? (2) Where within does flattening happen Methods A...

Objective:Supramalleolar tibial osteotomy (SMO) for asymmetric ankle osteoarthritis (OA) is known to lead satisfactory. Here, authors present a preliminary report on SMO surgical treatment in patients with arthritis. Materials and Methods:We reviewed cases of OA treated by modified between January 2011 October 2015. Clinical assessment was performed the use hindfoot score American Orthopedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS), foot function index, visual analogue scale (VAS). Patient satisfaction...
Schwannomatosis has been recently recognized as the third major type of neurofibromatosis. It causes multiple schwannomas without vestibular tumors that are diagnostic neurofibromatosis 2. Schwannoma is rarely found in foot, and it still rarer to find schawannomas a single peripheral nerve on foot. In this article, we describe case schwannomatosis Levels Evidence: Case report, Level IV
Category: Hindfoot; Sports Introduction/Purpose: Zadek's procedure is a surgical option to treat insertional Achilles tendinopathy(IAT). This consists of closing wedge osteotomy the calcaneus with biomechanical consequences. Great modifications in hindfoot alignment can result poor functional outcomes for athletes. Additionally, some authors stated that Zadek good choice patients IAT associated cavovarus foot. study aims analyze and parameters related Haglund's syndrome after using virtual...
Objective: To assess the agreement between semiautomatic 3D measurements and manual derived from WBCT images in patients with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis (AO) who underwent total replacement (TAR). Methods: In this retrospective, IRB-approved study (ID #201904825), we evaluated TAR via lateral trans-fibular approach for OA. The included 14 ankles patients. Raw multiplanar data were analyzed using CubeVue® software. Lateral talar station (LTS) was obtained sagittal plane, while hindfoot...
Objective: Recurrent fifth metatarsal base stress fractures (MT5-BSF) in athletes present a challenging problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the result conservative treatment for refracture MT5-BSF after modified tension band wiring (MTBW). Materials and Methods: outcomes 15 elite undergoing MTBW were retrospectively reviewed. They instructed avoid weight-bearing with short leg cast 6 weeks. After that, they started partial weight postop shoe. Stepwise exercise followed bone union...
Objective: The objective of the study was to assess efficacy LapiCotton procedure on patients with hallux valgus (HV) combined medial longitudinal arch collapse. Methods: Preoperative and postoperative weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) scans were obtained from HV submitted procedure. Semi-automatic measurements applied 22 WBCT images across 11 enrolled in using a software package (Bonelogic, Disior™, Helsinki, Finland). Significance level set at 0.05. Results: angle (HVA)...
Objective: This cadaveric pilot study was to develop a weight bearing computed tomography (WBCT) three-dimensional (3D) distance mapping algorithm that would allow for detection of syndesmotic instability. Methods: Pilot study, two specimens. Syndesmotic instability induced by release all ligaments through conventional lateral ankle approach. WBCT imaging under simulated acquired before and after destabilization. incisura gutter distances were assessed using 3D algorithm. Results: We found...
This paper reports a rare case of the symptomatic third metatarsal (MT3) - lateral cuneiform (LC) in 55-year-old male who presented with complaints severe intermittent pain his right foot. Plain radiographs and computed tomography scans revealed sclerosis irregularity at this joint. The intraoperative findings demonstrated fibrocartilaginous coalition. had improved one year after removing MT3-LC joint by en bloc arthrodesis.
