Functional outcome after the nonsurgical treatment for adolescent spasmodic valgus foot.

Background: Adolescent spasmodic valgus foot is usually associated with resistant pain and deformity. It shows controversy regarding its incidence, etiology, and treatment. Our study aimed to evaluate the functional outcome after the nonsurgical treatment for such condition.

Mid-Sole Release of the Plantar Fascia Combined With Percutaneous Drilling of the Calcaneus for Treatment of Resistant Heel Pain.

Background: Heel pain with or without calcaneal spur is a challenging problem. Once conservative measures have failed, surgery may be indicated; there has been debate about the best surgical procedure. Two standard operative procedures have been either releasing the plantar fascia or removing the spur with drilling of the calcaneus.

Transfixing Kirshner wires for fixation of intertrochanteric valgus osteotomies in management of pediatric coxa vara.

Background: Coxa vara is a radiological term describing a decrease in the neck-shaft angle to 120° or less. Coxa vara is associated with pathomechanical changes that can manifest clinically. If left untreated, coxa vara can affect the normal development of the pediatric hip.

Triceps-sparing approach for open reduction and internal fixation of neglected displaced supracondylar and distal humeral fractures in children.

Background: Supracondylar humeral fractures are one of the most common skeletal injuries in children. In cases of displacement and instability, the standard procedure is early closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation. However, between 10 and 20 % of patients present late.

A simple surgical technique for treatment of Freiberg's disease.

Background: Of all the osteochondrosis, Freiberg's disease is reported to be the fourth most common, exceeded by Köhler's disease, Panner's disease, and Sever's disease. This disease usually occurs in the 2nd metatarsal head and relatively in the 3rd and 4th metatarsal heads.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of debridement, synovectomy, dorsal closing wedge osteotomy and pin fixation for Freiberg's disease treatment.
