Correlation of progressive collapsing foot deformity with varus knee alignment in young adults - A case control study.

Background: Majority of patients with Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity(PCFD) have symptoms pertaining to the knee. Malalignment at the foot will have effects on the alignment of the knee. In this case control study, we compare the alignment of the knees between patients with PCFD and controls.

Electromyographic Analysis of Large Muscle Activity in Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity.

Background: There are various deformities described in the spectrum of Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD) which not only have adverse effects on the foot but also on the entire lower limb. Early lower limb muscular fatigue and pain during exertion is the most common complaint of patients with PCFD. Surface electromyography (sEMG) provides an accurate assessment of muscle activity.

Foot length - A reliable predictor of posterior tibial tendon thickness: A cadaveric study.

Background: Tibialis posterior tendon, deltoid ligament and spring ligament are the three most important structures on the medial aspect of the foot. They contribute to the stability of the foot and ankle and also to the maintenance of the arches of the foot. These structures get affected and dimensions get disrupted in various traumatic and degenerative conditions.

Fresh Fractures: A New Indication for Use of Bone Allografts-A 10-Year Data Analysis.

Background: Tissue banking includes the process starting from procurement to the distribution and usage of allograft tissues. The use of bone bank in orthopaedics is not widely seen. Our objective is to describe the 10-year allograft donor and recipient data from a fully functioning tissue bank in India, analyse the types of grafts used, indications and demand for various grafts.

Rare giant schwannoma of superficial peroneal nerve on the dorsum of foot.

Schwannoma is a benign tumour of Schwann cells originating from myelin sheath of axons of the nerves. It is usually seen in the vestibular region, very rarely found in extremity regions. Schwannomas are termed 'Giant' when they measure more than five centimetres in a minimum of one dimension.

Navicular Tuberosity: A Surface Landmark for the Masterknot of Henry.

Background: Medial aspect of foot is unexplored due to its complex anatomy. Masterknot of Henry is an important landmark in this region, which plays a key role during tendon transfer procedures especially in those involving the flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus. We aim to determine the exact anatomical location of masterknot of Henry with respect to the bony prominences of the medial aspect of the foot and compare these measurements to the length of the foot.

A Shepherd's Crook Deformity of Proximal Femur Treated by Valgus Osteotomy and Bone Grafting.

The Shepherd's crook deformity of the proximal femur is a characteristic radiologic feature of fibrous dysplasia. It may be limited to a single bone, which is called monostotic, or may be polyostotic involving multiple bones as seen in McCune-Albright Syndrome. We report a case of a 19-year-old male patient who presented to us with pain in the right hip for one year.

Bilateral Humerus and Right Femur Fracture in a Newborn after Cesarean Section for Breech Presentation in a Twin Pregnancy: A Very Rare Case Report.

Introduction: The most common fractures during vaginal delivery occur in the clavicle, humerus, and femur. Cesarean section reduces the chances of a child having a birth injury. However, in some difficult extractions, long bone fractures may occur.

Isolated Tuberculous Peroneal Tenosynovitis: A Case Report.

Tuberculosis (TB) of osteoarticular sites constitutes less than 3% of total patients with tuberculosis. Involvement of the foot and ankle is less than 0.3% of total disease.

Intramuscular Myxoma - A Rare Tumor.

Introduction: Intramuscular myxoma is a rare benign soft tissue tumor involving the musculoskeletal system. The incidence is reported as varying from 0.1 to 0.
