[Rigid sole shoe versus inverted sole shoe in hallux valgus surgery: clinical, functional and radiological analysis].

Introduction: the orthopedic shoe is usually prescribed during postoperative care after hallux valgus surgery to protect the osteotomy and provide functional comfort to the patient. In this regard, the superiority of rigid sole shoe (RSS) compared to the reverse camber shoe (RCS) remains controversial. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical, functional and radiological outcomes from using the rigid sole shoe (RSS) vs.

Free vascularized iliac periosteal graft for bilateral forearm nonunion reconstruction in a child with bilateral transfemoral amputation.

Vascularized periosteal flaps have been reported as very effective for treating biologically complex bone nonunion in pediatric patients, owing to their high angiogenic and osteogenic potentials. The purpose of this article is to report a case of a 6-year-old patient with nonunion involving both forearms and a very limited bone flap donor site in the context of prior bilateral transfemoral amputation due to meningococcal sepsis. Two free vascularized iliac periosteal flaps (VIPF), supplied by the deep circumflex iliac vessels, were used in two stages to reconstruct the forearms.

Local Percutaneous Radiofrequency for Chronic Plantar Fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. It accounts for 80% of the cases and has an estimated prevalence rate of up to 7% in the general population, with bilateral involvement in 20% to 30% of those patients. This condition affects people of working age, thereby limiting and diminishing their quality of life.

Accidents and injuries in elite MotoGP motorcycle riders.

Objective: Evaluating incidence, characteristics and risk factors of accidents and injuries in each elite motorcycle racing class (MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3), 2013-2017.

Design: Descriptive epidemiological study.

Setting: MotoGP Medical Team, Dorna Sports SL.

Two-Portal Endoscopic Plantar Fascia Release: Step-by-Step Surgical Technique.

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition of heel pain with a lifetime incidence up to 10%. For this entity, conservative treatment is considered the gold standard, involving non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, stretching exercises of the plantar fascia, activity modifications, ice, and insoles. When patients do not respond to these treatments, partial or total plantar fascia release has been the mainstay of treatment, with success rates of approximately 70% to 90%.

Retrograde Drilling With Tibial Autograft in Osteochondral Lesions of the Talar Dome.

Osteochondral lesions that compromise the ankle are rare, with an incidence between 0.02% and 1.5% according to different series.

Are Vascularized Periosteal Flaps Useful for the Treatment of Difficult Scaphoid Nonunion in Adults? A Prospective Cohort Study of 32 Patients.

Purpose: To evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes after surgical treatment of difficult scaphoid nonunion in adults with a vascularized thumb metacarpal periosteal pedicled flap (VTMPF).

Materials And Methods: Thirty-two patients at least 18 years old, with scaphoid nonunion and characteristics associated with a poor prognosis, who underwent a VTMPF procedure, were included in this retrospective cohort study with a mean follow-up of 17 months. Factors associated with a poor prognosis were a delay in presentation of over 5 years, the presence of avascular necrosis, and previous nonunion surgery.

Retrograde intramedullary headless compression screws for treatment of extra-articular thumb metacarpal base fractures.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes of extra-articular fractures involving the base of the thumb metacarpal treated with fixation using a retrograde intramedullary cannulated headless screw. A review of prospectively collected data was conducted on a consecutive series of 13 patients, treated with headless screw fixation for acute displaced fractures. All workers resumed full duties, while non-workers returned to unlimited leisure activities within a mean of 42 days.

Inter-implant fractures: an unmet medical need-a preventive approach proposal.

Inter-implant fractures are associated with reduced quality of life and increased 1-year mortality. For that reason, we propose, instead of treating, a novel, preventative surgical approach that involves splinting the inter-implant femoral shaft interval. In patients with a previous femoral implant in whom a second surgery for new material implantation was necessary (including knee or hip arthroplasty, plate or femoral nailing), an overlapping technique using the minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis technique was performed during the second surgery.

Metastatic spinal cord compression: Incidence, epidemiology and prognostic factors.

Background: Metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) is a severe complication in patients with cancer, and its incidence rate is difficult to accurately estimate. The aim of this study is to report the incidence and epidemiological and prognostic characteristics of MSCC in patients with cancer.

Material And Methods: We analysed a cohort of 1736 patients diagnosed with cancer of any origin who were hospitalised in a palliative care unit.

Surgical technique and outcomes for bilateral humeral lengthening for achondroplasia: 26-year experience.

Background: Elongation in patients with achondroplasia provides better overall skeletal proportionality and significantly improves such individuals' access to their perineal region to self-manage personal hygiene. This paper describes our surgical technique and outcomes for bilateral humeral lengthening in achondroplasia patients over 26 years.

Methods: Ours was a retrospective study of 55 patients with achondroplasia-related short stature, in whom bilateral humeral lengthening was performed from 1990 to 2016.

Dorsolateral Biplane Closing Radial Osteotomy and Lunate Fixation for Stage IIIC Kienböck Disease: A New Surgical Approach.

The treatment of advanced-stage Kienböck disease (KD) remains highly controversial. Particularly important is stage IIIC KD, which includes patients with a lunate coronal fracture. The purpose of this paper was to describe a new approach to KD in patients with Lichtman stage IIIC KD, and our results using it.
