Background: Although a variety of great toe implants have been tried in an attempt to maintain motion, the majority failed with loosening, malalignment/dislocation, implant fragmentation and bone loss. In these cases, salvage arthrodesis is more complicated results shortening ray or requires structural graft reestablish length. This prospective study compared efficacy safety this small (8/10 mm) hydrogel gold standard for advanced-stage hallux rigidus. Methods: prospective, randomized...
Background: Hindfoot alignment on 2D radiographs can present anatomical and operator-related bias. In this study, software designed for weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT) was used to calculate a new 3D biometric tool: the Foot Ankle Offset (FAO). We described distribution of FAO in series data sets from clinically normal, varus, valgus cases, hypothesizing that values would be significantly different 3 groups. Methods: retrospective cohort 135 (57 38 40 valgus) WBCT (PedCAT; CurveBeam...
Whilst a few studies have associated various symptoms with the presence of peroneus quartus muscle in peroneal compartment leg, little is known clinical relevance this muscle. We dissected 102 cadaver legs and reviewed magnetic resonance images 80 patients from ankle. The quartus, number different attachments, was present 6.6% legs. It most commonly arose brevis inserted into retrotrochlear eminence calcaneum. Associated pathology included longitudinal tear tendon brevis, possible...
Cone beam CT allows cross-sectional imaging of the tibiofibular syndesmosis while patient bears weight. This may facilitate more accurate and reliable investigation injuries to, reconstruction of, but normal ranges measurements are required first. The purpose this study was to establish: 1) reference syndesmosis; 2) if side-to-side variations exist in syndesmotic anatomy; 3) age affects 4) anatomy differs between male female patients weight-bearing cone views.A retrospective analysis...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Foot deformities are frequent complications in Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) patients, often requiring orthopedic surgery. However, there no prospective, randomized studies on surgical management, and is variation the approaches among centers both within between countries. Methods: In this study we assessed frequency of foot surgery patients recruited into Inherited Neuropathies Consortium (INC). We also designed a survey addressed to surgeons at INC determine...
A prospective, randomized, noninferiority clinical trial of synthetic cartilage implant hemiarthroplasty for hallux rigidus demonstrated functional outcomes and safety equivalent to first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint arthrodesis at 24 months. We prospectively assessed efficacy a minimum 5 years.Of 135 eligible patients from the original trial, 112 (83.0%) were enrolled (mean age, 58.2 ± 8.8 years; 87 females). Pain visual analog scale (VAS), Foot Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) Activities...
Background: Grading systems are used to assess severity of any condition and as an aid in guiding treatment. This study examined the relationship baseline motion, pain, observed intraoperative cartilage loss with hallux rigidus grade. Methods: A prospective, randomized examining outcomes arthrodesis compared synthetic implant was performed. Patients underwent preoperative clinical examination, radiographic assessment, grade assignment, assessment loss. Visual analog scale (VAS) score for...
There are various methods available to fix a calcaneal osteotomy, ranging from screws plates and staples. It is not clear if one method superior the other. In this series we compare complications union rates of 3 different fixation.A retrospective review records consecutive patients who had osteotomy was undertaken. All their by same technique, however subsequent fixation performed using methods: lateral locking plate, headless, or headed screw. The were placed through separate stab incision...
Purpose. To determine preoperative patient expectations and their relative importance for hallux valgus surgery using a patient-derived questionnaire, whether such are influenced by age, gender, or occupation. Methods. Two questionnaires were developed open-ended interviews. The 19 most commonly stated included in the Patient Expectation Questionnaire: 2 related to improvement appearance, pain reduction, 15 functional improvements performing daily recreational activities. top 9 Priority...
The focus on evidence-based medicine has led to calls for increased levels of evidence in surgical journals. purpose the present study was review articles published foot and ankle literature assess changes level over a decade.All from years 2000, 2005, 2010 Foot & Ankle International Surgery, as well all Journal Bone Joint Surgery (JBJS, American [A] British [B] Volumes) were analyzed. Animal, cadaver, basic science articles; editorials; surveys; special topics; letters editor;...
