: Thoracic hyperkyphosis is a frequent problem and can impact greatly on patient's quality of life during adolescence. This condition be idiopathic or secondary to Scheuermann disease, disease disturbing vertebral growth. To date, there no sound scientific data available the management this condition. Some studies discuss effects bracing, however guidelines, protocols indication's treatment for were found. The aim paper was develop verify consensus managing thoracic patients treated with...
Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP1) joint is an intervention often used in patients with severe MTP1 osteoarthritis and relieves pain approximately 80% these patients. The kinematic effects compensatory mechanism foot for restoring a more normal gait pattern after this are unknown. aim study was to clarify mechanism, which it hypothesized that hindfoot forefoot would be responsible compensation arthrodesis joint.Gait properties were evaluated 10 feet 8 compared 21 12 healthy...
Abstract Background Hallux valgus deformity is a common musculoskeletal foot disorder with prevalence of 3.5% in adolescents to 35.7% adults aged over 65 years. Radiographic measurements hallux angles (HVA) are considered be the most reproducible and accurate assessment HVA. However, European countries, many podiatrists do not have direct access radiographic facilities. Therefore, alternative desired. Such computerised plantar pressure measurement clinical goniometry. The purpose this study...
Studies concerning total ankle arthroplasty could be influenced by several forms of bias. Independent national registries represent objective data on survival and patient reported outcomes. The aim this study was to determine identify risk factors for early failure in a nationwide series arthroplasties from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI).Data 810 patients, who received 836 between 2014 2020 were obtained (LROI) with median follow-up 38 months (range 1-84 months). Survival expressed...
Malalignment of the Total Ankle Replacement (TAR) has often been postulated as main reason for high incidence TAR failure. As ankle joint a small contact area, stresses are typically high, and malalignment may lead to non-homogeneous stress distributions, including peaks that initiate This study aims elucidate effect on bone-implant interface, thereby gaining more understanding potential role in failure.Finite Element (FE) models neutrally aligned well malaligned CCI (Ceramic Coated Implant)...
Total ankle arthroplasty is increasingly used as a treatment for end stage arthropathy. The aim of this study was to report the mid-term clinical function and survival results Ceramic Coated Implant (CCI) replacements assess association between alignment CCI total early functional outcome complication incidence.Data 61 patients, who received 65 implants 2010 2016, were obtained from prospectively documented database. Mean follow-up time 85.2 months (range 27-99 months). Clinical assessed...
Treating children with idiopathic scoliosis can amaze someone at the many different ways in which deformity present. Most authors state that genetics stipulates course of adolescent scoliosis. This is mainly based on high concordance monozygotic twins. However, there indication environmental factors have influences first report a twin pair described concordant for but apical levels, magnitudes and age detection stresses importance factors.
Background. The purpose of this study is to evaluate functional and radiological outcomes subtalar arthroereisis in the treatment symptomatic pediatric flexible flatfeet. Methods. A total 16 patients (26 feet) were treated with a Kalix II as motion blocker between 2009 2014. Calcaneal pitch (CP) Meary’s angle (MA) measured on radiographs preoperatively, directly postoperatively, at follow-up 47 ± 17 (range 19-79) months. Patient satisfaction surveys used assess outcome patient satisfaction....
Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is increasingly used to treat end-stage arthritis restore functional outcomes and alleviate pain. This treatment outcome may be influenced by pre-morbid patient anxiety.
Compensatory motion of foot joints in hallux rigidus (HR) are not fully known. This study aimed to clarify the kinematic compensation within and detect whether this affects plantar pressure distribution.Gait characteristics were assessed 16 patients (16 feet) with HR compared 15 healthy controls (30 three-dimensional gait analysis by using multi-segment Oxford Foot Model, measuring spatio-temporal parameters, joint kinematics pressure.HR subjects showed less flexion during midstance...
Pressure measurements are being used to understand the working mechanism of brace, because forces exerted by a brace cause correction scoliotic curve. The aim study was and effectiveness adjustments in newly developed using pressure measurements.
