Abstract
Background:
The purpose of this study was to perform a histological comparative analysis of tibiotalar
joint samples taken from areas of osteolysis adjacent to total ankle arthroplasties
vs control synovial specimens to determine the reaction to and ...

Abstract
Background:
Wound complications following total ankle replacement (TAR) potentially lead to devastating
consequences. The aim of this study was to compare the operative and demographic differences
in patients with and without major wound problems which ...

Abstract
Background:
Extensile open approaches to reduce and fix intra-articular calcaneal fractures are
associated with high levels of wound complications. To avoid these complications,
a technique of percutaneous reduction and fixation with screws alone was ...

Abstract
Background:
The optimal operative management of hallux rigidus is still a matter for debate among
surgeons. Despite arthrodesis widely considered to be the gold standard treatment,
many surgeons advocate arthroplasty as a suitable alternative. There are, ...

Abstract
Background:
Insertional Achilles tendinopathy and retrocalcaneal bursitis is difficult to treat,
and several operative techniques have been used after failure of conservative management.
Dorsal wedge calcaneal osteotomy has been described for the treatment ...

Abstract
Background:
The primary purpose of this retrospective study was to report on a consecutive series
of 102 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) who underwent transtibial amputation (TTA)
for chronic infections and nonreconstructable lower extremity ...

Abstract
Background:
In patients who develop chronic ankle instability, clinicians often obtain magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) as part of the evaluation prior to operative referral. The
purpose of this study was to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of MRI in the ...

Abstract
Background:
Although recent biomechanical studies have reported mechanical superiority of augmented
anterior talofibular ligament reconstruction using suture-tape, clinical evidence
regarding the efficacy of suture-tape augmentation is still insufficient. ...

Abstract
Background:
Implant survivorship is dependent on accuracy of implantation and successful soft
tissue balancing. System instrumentation for total ankle arthroplasty implantation
has a key influence on surgeon accuracy and reproducibility. The purpose of ...

Abstract
Background:
The optimal fixation construct for tibiotalar arthrodesis continues to be debated.
While biomechanical data and clinical series support anterior plate augmentation,
comparative studies assessing its use are sparse. The purpose of this study was ...

Abstract
Background:
Isolated gastrocnemius contracture (IGC) is associated with various foot and ankle
pathologies. To address the problem of IGC, a number of gastrocnemius lengthening
procedures have been described. Although proximal medial gastrocnemius ...

Abstract
Background:
Proximal opening wedge osteotomy (POWO) is an established procedure for moderate to
severe hallux valgus. A common concern of this procedure is that it results in lengthening
of the first metatarsal, which could cause increased intra-articular ...

Abstract
Background:
The effect of ankle positioning during suture-button fixation for syndesmosis repair
on range of motion (ROM) and anatomic reduction has yet to be investigated. The purpose
of this cadaveric study was to compare the effects of 3 different ankle ...
Restricted accessResearch articleFirst published December 7, 2016pp. 436–442
Abstract
Background:
Measurement of the medial clear space (MCS) is commonly used to assess deltoid ligament
competency and mortise stability when managing ankle fractures. Lacking knowledge
of the true anatomic width measured, previous studies have been unable to ...

Abstract
Gastrocnemius contracture is a common condition associated with painful overload symptoms in the forefoot and midfoot. Multiple techniques have been described for the recession of gastrocnemius tendon in patients who failed nonsurgical treatment.
