Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a prognostic factor in various disorders. This study aimed to assess the value of RDW patients undergoing amputation for diabetic foot. We retrospectively analyzed data on 415 who underwent foot between January 2009 and 2019. After establishing an optimal cutoff preoperative all-cause mortality, univariable multivariable analyses with Cox proportional hazard model survivorship logistic regression analysis prolonged hospital length stay (> 30 days)...

Background: Os subfibulare (OS) is commonly found in patients with chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). When performing ligament reconstruction for CLAI, excision of a large OS can cause substantial defects making anatomic repair challenging. This study analyzed clinical and radiologic outcomes among who underwent osteosynthesis the OS. Methods: 28 ankles CLAI (≥10 mm) that between June 2007 July 2021 were included followed ≥24 months. Visual analog scale (VAS) pain, Karlsson-Peterson...

Background: Periprosthetic osteolysis after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a substantial problem. Bone grafting may be beneficial in the treatment of large osteolytic cysts; however, literature regarding outcomes bone limited. This study analyzed autogenous performed for management periprosthetic following TAA. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 42 ankles (41 Korean patients) that underwent Clinical were evaluated using visual analog scale pain scores, Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale and...

Few studies have investigated long-term clinical outcomes of a mobile-bearing total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) system. This study analyzed TAA using the HINTEGRA prosthesis at single, non-developer center.Primary TAAs were performed on 213 ankles in 194 patients, and 151 consecutive [71%] 136 patients with minimum follow-up 10 years after primary included this study. Clinical results assessed visual analog scale (VAS) pain score, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot...

We compared the radiological and clinical outcomes of mild to moderate severe hallux valgus (HV) treated with minimally invasive distal metatarsal transverse osteotomy (MITO) performed by a single surgeon.Eighty-four patients who underwent MITO between May 2018 March 2020 were recruited followed for at least 24 months. The group was defined as having preoperative angle (HVA) >40 degrees or first-to-second intermetatarsal (1-2 IMA) >16 degrees; an HVA <40 1-2 IMA <16 degrees. Pre-...

Aims The aim of this study was a quantitative analysis surgeon’s learning curve for scoliosis surgery and the relationship between experience post-operative outcomes, which has not been previously well described. Patients Methods We have investigated operating time as function number patients to determine specific pattern; we analysed factors affecting compared intra- outcomes. 47 consecutive undergoing performed by single, non-trained surgeon. Operating recorded each four parts procedures:...

Severe bone defects pose a clinical challenge in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and are frequently considered contraindicated. We introduce an innovative approach that utilizes structural tibial cut autograft to address anterior distal tibia during TAA. This technique is viable alternative employing revision TAA systems or resorting excessively high cuts. Furthermore, it facilitates achieving favorable sagittal alignment ensures adequate fixation strength of the component.

The incidence of achilles tendon rupture varies by gender, age, and seasonal variation. However, there has been no study as yet linking to daily fluctuations in outdoor temperature. purpose this was investigate the association between temperature using a Korea Meteorological Administration database Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort database. Between 2002 2015, all instances repair were retrieved from examine sociodemographic factors, specifically sex,...

Syndesmotic impingement syndrome has been described to explain persistent lateral or anterolateral ankle pain. This condition is thought often result from a rotational injury. study aimed identify the type of syndesmotic tissue according arthroscopic and histologic findings analyze its association with talar cartilage lesions.

Category: Ankle; Sports Introduction/Purpose: Os subfibulare is commonly found in patients with chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). When performing ligament reconstruction for CLAI, excision of a large OS can cause massive defects.The purpose this study to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes among who underwent osteosynthesis the (≥10 mm). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 28 ankles CLAI mm) that between June 2007 July 2021 had minimum follow-up 2 years. Visual...

Abstract Purpose To compare the analgesic efficacy, adverse effects, and long-term functional outcomes of perioperative naproxen alone versus with pregabalin for treating pain in ankle fractures. Methods This study included 70 patients who underwent operative fixation rotatory Group A received 500 mg only, B 75 2-hour before surgery 12 hourly 14 days thereafter. The minimal clinically important difference visual analog scale (VAS) was set at 1.8 out 10. VAS pain, opioid consumption, any...

The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes sodium tetradecyl sulphate (STS) sclerotherapy for conservative treatment lateral malleolar bursitis the ankle.We reviewed data from 20 consecutive patients (20 ankles) who underwent STS between August 2018 and June 2019. After aspiration fluid bursal sac, 2 mL mg) injected into sac. Clinical side effects complications were evaluated at weeks, 3 months, 1 year, years after sclerotherapy. Responses assessed according degree fluctuation,...

Category: Diabetes Introduction/Purpose: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW), reflects the degree of heterogeneity erythrocyte volume, has been found to be a significant prognostic factor in various human disorders.
