Medial and Lateral Combined Ligament Arthroscopic Repair for Multidirectional Ankle Instability.

Background: The high prevalence of ankle sprains in the population produces a significant number of patients with lateral instability. Persistence of this condition may lead to the progressive involvement of medial structures, causing a multidirectional rotational instability.

Methods: This is a retrospective study with patients diagnosed with multidirectional instability who underwent ankle arthroscopy with medial (arthroscopic tensioning) and lateral repair (arthroscopic Bröstrom) between January 2018 and January 2020.

Subtalar arthroscopic debridment for the treatment of sinus tarsi syndrome: case series.

Objective: The objective of this study is to report the results of arthroscopic debridement of the subtalar joint in eight patients with Sinus Tarsi Syndrome (STS) refractory to conservative treatment.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of eight patients with STS who underwent subtalar arthroscopy for debridement of the sinus tarsi between January 2015 and January 2017 after six months of conservative treatment. All patients answered an epidemiological questionnaire and underwent functional evaluation with the Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS) and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Score (AOFAS) in the preoperative and in the last evaluation (average of 12 months - 6-24 months).

Cutaneous thermal sensitivity in diabetic neuropathy.

Background: The goal of this investigation was to determine if cutaneous thermal sensitivity could be used as a discriminator of peripheral neuropathy in diabetic subjects who were sensate to the Semmes-Weinstein 5.07 monofilament.

Methods: Sixty adult subjects were separated into two groups.
