Medical Students as Teachers: A Student-Led Course in Developing Teaching Skills.

Students as Teachers is a 7-month student-led elective that equips first- and second-year medical students with teaching skills. Pre- and post-course surveys measured participants' knowledge and confidence level in the course's learning objectives such as creating lesson plans, engaging learners, and assessing understanding. Eleven students participated in the course and 10 students completed the pre- and post-course surveys.

Gastrocnemius recession.

The Grand Rapids Arch Collapse classifications create a novel system for categorizing and correlating numerous common foot and ankle conditions related to a falling arch. The algorithm for treating these conditions is exceptionally replicable and has excellent outcomes. Gastrocnemius equinus diagnosis plays a crucial role in the pathology of arch collapse.

Design comparison of the INBONE I versus INBONE II total ankle system.

Unlabelled: Degenerative joint disease of the ankle is a debilitating etiology, in which treatment has been disputed in the literature among healthy active patients. Total ankle arthroplasty had recently gained popularity as long-term outcomes are being reported and advancement in the design of the implants themselves evolves. Multiple implants are available on today's market including the INBONE (Wright Medical technologies, Arlington, TN) Total Ankle System.

Treatment of hammertoe deformity using a one-piece intramedullary device: a case series.

Hammertoes are common deformities that are often surgically treated using arthrodesis or arthroplasty of the proximal interphalangeal joint with percutaneous, temporary Kirschner wire fixation. However, percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation is associated with potential complications, including wire migration, breakage, and pin tract infection. Furthermore, the complications of pseudoarthrosis and nonunion are seen using this technique owing to a lack of rotational control of the Kirschner wire.

Achilles tendon reattachment after surgical treatment of insertional tendinosis using the suture bridge technique: a case series.

Achilles tendinopathy is a clinical diagnosis characterized as a triad of symptoms including pain, swelling, and impaired performance of the diseased tendon. Achilles tendinopathy is divided into Achilles tendonitis and tendinosis based on histopathological examination. Achilles tendinosis is viewed microscopically as disorganized collagen, abnormal neovascularization, necrosis, and mucoid degeneration.
