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.

Correlation between indirect radiographic parameters of first metatarsal rotation in hallux valgus and values on weight-bearing computed tomography.

Purpose: To verify if indirect radiographic signs of first metatarsal pronation, determined by the head round sign, correspond to weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) measurements.

Methods: In this case-control retrospective study, we analyzed 26 hallux valgus (HV) feet and 20 controls through conventional radiograph (CR) and WBCT images. Two blinded orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeons performed the measurements.

Deltoid ligament arthroscopic repair in ankle fractures: Case series.

Introduction: Diagnosis and treatment of ankle medial ligament lesions in malleolar fractures has always been a matter of controversy. Even when deltoid involvement is clear, the direct repair of this structure is not a consensus. Recently, deltoid repair through an arthroscopic technique was described aiming to potentialize better clinical results and minimize complications.

Hypermobility in Hallux Valgus.

The interaction between hypermobility and hallux valgus remains both contemporary and incendiary. The difficulty in setting clinical and radiological parameters to diagnose and the complexity of questions that circumnutate the philosophy among etiology and denouement, fires up the debate regarding these conditions. Outcomes among procedures that address or neglect ray instability are still used as argument for any group of believers or nonbelievers.

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).
