The Achilles tendon (AT) is the toughest and most robust in human body. However, it frequently injured. Several surgical techniques are described literature for treating chronic or complex injuries. Some of them use transfers peroneus brevis, flexor digitorum longus hallucis (FHL). FHL transfer can be performed endoscopically (minimally invasive), a reliable method AT ruptures. objective this study was to describe technical tip allow surgeons harvest longer graft using stripper without need...

Achilles tendon ruptures may lead to proximal retraction of the stump if not treated acutely, increasing chances poorer functional outcomes. The flexor halluces longus transfer is a well-established treatment option, usually performed as an open procedure. aim this paper report preliminary results and describe technique endoscopic transfer.Six patients with chronic injuries or re-ruptures were FHL transfer. Tendon Rupture Score was used clinically evaluate patients. Single leg heel rise...

Trevor disease or hemimelic epiphyseal dysplasia is a rare skeletal developmental disorder characterized by asymmetric overgrowth of cartilage in the epiphyses. Histologically, it an epiphysis osteochondroma. The symptom onset occurs primarily during childhood. Males are 3 times more affected than females. most common painless bony mass around ankle knee, followed swelling, restricted range motion and deformity. Imaging diagnosis based on plain radiographs, computed tomography scans magnetic...

There is still controversy regarding normal and abnormal values of the medial clear space (MCS) ankle. The aim this study was to assess how much different degrees plantar flexion, with without stress, influenced MCS.We submitted 30 volunteers 6 anteroposterior ankle radiographs in following positions: neutral, neutral external rotation physiologic flexion (FPF), maximum (MPF), stress. MCS oblique (MCSo) perpendicular (MCSp) were measured all images by an experienced foot surgeon.The data...

Excessive shoe heel abrasion is of concern to patients and manufacturers, but little scientific information available about this feature its possible causes. The purpose study was relate phenomenon with biomechanical factors that could predispose abrasion.Ninety-seven recruits (median age 25) were enrolled in study. Shoe assessed manually a metric plastic tape on the posterior part comes contact ground. number sprains, foot alignment, calf muscle shortening (Silfverskiold test) also order it...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results obtained using anterograde percutaneous fixation technique for treating shaft and neck fractures lesser metatarsals. Methods: We prospectively evaluated 14 patients between 2003 2008, taking into consideration topography fracture, trauma mechanism, associated comorbidities AOFAS score forefoot. Results: anatomical region most affected metatarsal (79%). Involvement multiple metatarsals (53%) more common than isolated (47%)....

Introdução: Várias condições podem causar perda óssea massiva do tálus. Classicamente, a artrodese pantalar com enxerto ósseo estrutural tem sido o procedimento de salvamento escolha para tratar as lesões irreconstrutíveis Recentemente, advento da tecnologia impressão tridimensional (3D) específica paciente permitiu criação implantes projetados digitalmente partir uma tomografia. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever um caso tumor agressivo tálus tratado artroplastia total tornozelo implante...

Objective: Fifth metatarsal fractures occur mainly in young athletes, with an estimated incidence of 1.8 per 1,000 people a year. The objective this study was to evaluate the functional outcome professional soccer players subjected surgical treatment fifth base fractures. Methods: A total 34 who underwent surgery from July 2001 June 2016 were evaluated. All participants evaluated by American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) visual analogue scale (VAS) score before after surgery, mean...

Metatarsal (MTT) fractures are common injuries in the outpatient orthopedic setting. Lesser MTT fractures, although often technically simple, can lead to an inordinate number of unsatisfied patients. The objective our study was evaluate results obtained using anterograde percutaneous technique for lesser fractures. To knowledge, there no previous publications about this technique. We performed a prospective with 14 patients from 2003 2008, which we evaluated fracture location, mechanism...

Category: Ankle, Sports, Trauma Introduction/Purpose: The ankle Medial Clear Space (MCS) is frequently used in foot and surgery for determining the competence of deltoid ligament Weber B fractures. A widened MCS indicates incompetence, requiring to prevent lateral talar shift. Controversy still exists regarding normal abnormal values, its possible variation previously uncontrolled biases. Sex, height, position, type radiograph were all described as influencing factors. objective this study...

Category: Ankle, Arthroscopy, Hindfoot Introduction/Purpose: Background Achilles tendon chronic rupture lead to proximal retraction of the and have a greater tendency show poorer functional outcomes than acute ruptures. Numerous surgical procedures been described treat this pathology. The transfer flexor hallucis longus is well-established treatment option, usually performed as an open procedure. aim paper report case series six patients with treated endoscopic FHL. Methods: Six injuries or...
