Weightbearing cone beam computed tomography (WB CBCT) allows detailed 3-dimensional imaging of the foot and ankle in a weightbearing state provides improved accuracy reliability alignment measures, especially when compared with conventional radiographic views.To describe National Basketball Association (NBA) players different symptomatic injuries using WB CBCT to determine if any predominant morphotype would be identified.Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3.A total 45 active NBA (mean...
Our goal was to develop a novel technique for inducing Achilles tendinopathy in animal models which more accurately represents the progressive histological and biomechanical characteristic of chronic humans. In this research study, forty-five rabbits were randomly assigned three groups given bilateral injections. Low dose (LD group) (n = 18) underwent with low-dose (0.1mg) injections collagenase that separated by two weeks, high group (HD) traditional single high-dose (0.3mg) injections,...
To evaluate the epidemiology of ankle fractures surgically treated at Instituto de Ortopedia e Traumatologia do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade São Paulo.Medical records patients admitted with foot and between 2006 2011 were revised. Seventy three that underwent surgical treatment identified. The parameters analyzed included age, gender, injured side, AO Gustilo & Anderson classification, associated injuries, exposure, need to urgent treatment, time definitive early post-operative...
Posterior tibial tendinopathy (PTT) can lead to acquired flatfoot in adults. Many patients develop PTT without any identifiable risk factors. Molecular changes extracellular matrix (ECM) and metalloproteinase (MMP) polymorphism may influence the of developing PTT. We aim investigate association between metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) (MMP-8) gene polymorphisms with collagen I, III V A case-control study 22 5 controls was performed. The MMP-1 (2G/2G) MMP-8 (T/T) genotypes were determined by...
To analyze the characteristics of patients with Lisfranc injuries and their associated fractures .This is a retrospective analysis on 42 hospitalized at Instituto de Ortopedia e Traumatologia do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade Medicina Universidade São Paulo, between 2006 2010. Parameters patient profile, risk factors, fracture characteristics, data treatment acute complications were analyzed .Analysis cases showed that in our sample, men more affected than women, ratio 4.25:1. The most...
Posterior tibial tendon (PTT) insufficiency is considered as the main cause of adult acquired flat foot and three times more frequent in females. High estrogen levels exert a positive effect on overall collagen synthesis tendons. We have previously demonstrated association between some genetic single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) tendinopathy. In present study, we investigated PvuII c454-397T>C (NCBI ID: rs2234693) XbaI c454-351A>G rs9340799) SNPs receptor alfa (ER-α) gene with PPT...
OBJETIVO: Este artigo faz a avaliação retrospectiva clínica e radiológica das fraturas do odontóide de 20 pacientes atendidos no IOT-HCFMUSP, durante o período 2004-2010. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado estratificação destas segundo sua classificação (AO/Anderson D'Alonzo), perfil epidemiológico, tipo tratamento, tempo consolidação complicações. RESULTADOS: Observou-se maior número casos da fratura em sexo masculino (4:1), com idade entre 3ª 4ª década vida (60%), vítimas quedas altura (60%) acidentes...
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of conservative treatment in patients with isolated Weber B fractures lateral malleolus. Methods: Medical charts 30 stable malleolus, exhibiting less than 2mm displacement, were retrospectively evaluated. All underwent early weightbearing joint mobilization, involving use a cam-walker boot (CWB) for period 6 8 weeks. Clinically, qualitative variables such as presence residual pain, tibiotalar motion, total return...
The modified Lapidus procedure (MLP), which consists of fusion between the first metatarsal (M1) and medial cuneiform, has been widely performed with satisfactory clinical outcomes, but it a variable nonunion rate ranging 4% 10% loss correction in up to 5.8% cases. Excessive motion around site tarsometatarsal arthrodesis, specially at intercuneiform joint, is probably reason. original (OLP), includes M1 second (M2), may be beneficial preventing recurrence. objective this study was describe...
Category: Basic Sciences/Biologics Introduction/Purpose: Numerous studies, as evident in literature, have attempted to develop an induced Achilles tendinopathy animal model. The most common models include collagenase injections and mechanical overload of the tendon, but both are controversial. model creates a chronically is time intensive. In addition, once stimulus removed tissue changes often heal. injection quicker, rarely evolve healing frequently results early acute tendon reaction....
Category: Basic Sciences/Biologics Introduction/Purpose: Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD), the most common cause of flatfoot deformity in adults, is more frequent female gender with peak incidence sixth decade life. Multiple risk factors - intrinsic and extrinsic associated systemic conditions have been described literature. Genetic predisposition secondary to hyperexpression genes related hormonal metabolism, particularly estrogens, may play a role pathogenesis this disease acting...
Category: Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: The Lapidus procedure (LP) is a powerful technique that often provides significant corrections of the hallux valgus (HV) deformities. In addition, it described forefoot width alters considerably with this technique, impacting in shoe wear. However, has not yet been reported whether foot narrowing reflects on clinical and functional outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate effect variations bony soft tissue widths (BSFW) outcomes after HV...
