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.
‘Quadrimalleolar’ fractures may represent large portion of ankle fractures
Anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament avulsions were identified in 18.2% of all ankle fractures.Overall, 44.6% of patients with trimalleolar fractures had anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament avulsions.
Development of a foot and ankle strengthening program for the treatment of plantar heel pain: a Delphi consensus study
People with plantar heel pain (PHP) have reduced foot and ankle muscle function, strength and size, which is frequently treated by muscle strengthening exercises. However, there has been little investigation of what exercises are used and there is no sound evidence base to guide practice. This study aimed to develop a consensus-driven progressive muscle strengthening program for PHP.
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.
Effects of supportive and minimalist footwear on standing balance and walking stability in older women
Footwear has been shown to influence balance and is an important consideration in relation to the prevention of falls. However, it remains unclear as to what type of footwear is most beneficial for balance in older people: sturdy, supportive footwear, or minimalist footwear to maximise plantar sensory input. The objectives of this study were therefore to compare standing balance and walking stability in older women wearing these two footwear styles, and to investigate participants’ perceptions in relation to comfort, ease of use and fit.
Patient-specific instrumentation may improve outcomes in total ankle arthroplasty
Published results showed patient-specific instrumentation may decrease operative time, reduce intraoperative fluoroscopy and achieve better postoperative alignment in patients undergoing total ankle arthroplasty.
Treatment for Claw Toe Pain
Claw toe is a foot deformity that causes painful toe-curling. If you have claw toe, your toes will point upward at the joint closest to the foot but bend sharply downward at the middle and third joint
