Ankle sprain
An ankle sprain is a stretch or tear in one or more of the ankle ligaments. Ankle ligaments are slightly elastic bands of tissue that keep the ankle bones in place. Ankles are particularly prone to sprain because of the small size of the joint and the forces exerted when walking, running and jumping, especially if the surface is uneven.
Advances catalyze minimally invasive foot, ankle surgery
Although minimally invasive surgery for the foot and ankle has been around for decades, improvements in tools, implants and surgical training combined with a growing body of literature have inspired renewed popularity of these surgeries.
Study shows advanced footwear technology positively impacts elite sprint performances
A study published in PeerJ sheds light on the potential game-changing impact of advanced footwear technology (AFT) on elite sprint performances in track and field. The research, titled "The Potential Impact of Advanced Footwear Technology on the Recent Evolution of Elite Sprint Performances," reveals the significant strides made in sprint performance and suggests that AFT has played a pivotal role in these improvements.
Why does the outside of my foot hurt, and what can I do about it?
Pain on the outside of a person’s foot can occur before, during, or after activities such as walking. It can make standing or moving around difficult. Possible causes include joint or tendon inflammation and small fractures.
Insertional Achilles tendonitis: Causes, symptoms, and treatments
Achilles tendonitis (AT) is inflammation, pain, and swelling of the Achilles tendon. Insertional Achilles tendonitis is one type, which involves the lower part of the tendon that slots into the heel bone.
Anterior tibial tendonitis: Symptoms, risk factors, and treatment
Anterior tibial tendonitis is a type of ankle injury. The anterior tibial tendon lies at the front of the ankle and helps flex the foot upward. Injury to this tendon usually occurs due to overuse.
Should we fix the fibula in tibial plafond fractures? A meta-analysis reviewing the evidence base for fibula open reduction and internal fixation in tibial plafond fractures.
Open reduction and internal fixation is the standard of care to stabilize tibial plafond fractures. However, it remains uncertain as to whether fixation of the fibula affects outcome. This study aimed to review the evidence base for comparable outcomes in tibial plafond fractures when undergoing open reduction and internal fixation of ipsilateral fibula fractures compared with open reduction and internal fixation of the tibia alone
A comparative analysis of between percutaneous cannulated screw fixation and traditional plate internal fixation in treatment of Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures
The objective of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous cannulated screw fixation and traditional plate internal fixation in the treatment of Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures.
How Bad Is It Really to Wear High Heels All the Time?
From classic pumps to skyscraper stilettos and strappy sandals, the right pair of heels can really elevate your outfit (get it?). But they're not exactly the most comfortable shoe out there. And if you wear them all the time, are heels bad for you?
Several patient factors may contribute to poor outcomes after total ankle arthroplasty
Younger age, arthritis, diabetes and high BMI may be associated with poorer outcomes after total ankle arthroplasty.Lifestyle factors were the most common risk factors for readmissions and complications.
