Metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joint angle measurements on weight-bearing CT images
The aim of this study was to present and evaluate methods of measuring toe joint angels using joint-surface based and inertial axes approaches.
Tips for performing MIS beaming for Charcot foot reconstruction
New MIS techniques have recently emerged in Charcot foot reconstruction that combines percutaneous deformity correction and fusion with intramedullary beaming to restore coronal and sagittal alignment with significantly reduced soft tissue dissection.
Immediate Weight Bearing Following 1st Metatarsal Phalangeal Joint Arthrodesis with 2 Nickel Titanium Alloy Staples
The aim of this study is to determine whether the use of 2 nickel-titanium alloy (NITINOL) staples, placed at 90 degrees to one another is a stable enough construct to support full, immediate weight bearing following 1st MTPJ arthrodesis.
Predicting the outcome of plantar heel pain in adults: a systematic review of prognostic factors
Plantar Heel Pain (PHP) is a common disorder with many treatment pathways and is not self-limiting, hence prognostic information concerning recovery or recalcitrance is needed to guide practice. In this systematic review, we investigate which prognostic factors are associated with favourable or unfavourable PHP outcomes.
Comparison the treatment of anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament anatomical repair and syndesmosis screw fixation for syndesmotic injuries in ankle fracture
The fixation method of syndesmotic injuries in ankle fractures remains controversial. The goal of the study was to compare radiographic and clinical outcomes between anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) anatomical repair with syndesmosis screw fixation in syndesmotic injuries.
