Ankle Malunion: When and How to Perform Supramalleolar Osteotomy.

Ankle osteoarthritis is usually posttraumatic, creating asymmetric damage on the ankle joint in approximately 80% of cases. The talus is susceptible to tilt to the damaged cartilage area, producing a supramalleolar deformity with localized ankle arthritis. Supramalleolar osteotomy is joint-preserving surgical treatment for patients with localized ankle arthritis.

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Used to Assess Physiological Muscle Adaptations in Exercise Clinical Trials: A Systematic Review.

Using muscle oxygenation to evaluate the therapeutic effects of physical exercise in pathologies through near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is of great interest. The aim of this review was to highlight the use of muscle oxygenation in exercise interventions in clinical trials and to present the technological characteristics related to the equipment used in these studies. PubMed, WOS, and Scopus databases were reviewed up to December 2021.
