"Intersection syndrome" of the foot: treated by endoscopic release of master knot of Henry.

Intersection syndrome of the forearm is a painful condition in the area where the muscle bellies of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis cross the common wrist extensors. A similar case of the foot with marked fibrosis at the interconnection of flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum tendons is reported and the fibrous interconnection was extended proximally. This was successfully treated with endoscopic release of the master knot of Henry.

Plate fixation for crescentic metatarsal osteotomy in the treatment of hallux valgus: an eight-year followup study.

Background: Distal soft tissue realignment and crescentic metatarsal osteotomy is a popular procedure in the treatment of hallux valgus. The traditional technique of screw fixation for crescentic osteotomy is technically demanding, and the inferior stability of this construct has been described. We evaluated the long-term results of a modified fixation method.

Simultaneous rupture of the patellar tendon and the anterior cruciate ligament: a case report and literature review.

We report a case of simultaneous rupture of the patellar tendon and the anterior cruciate ligament. This condition was rarely reported in the literature and clinical diagnosis can be difficult. It is frequently associated with injuries of other knee structures.

Outcomes after interposition arthroplasty for treatment of hallux rigidus.

Unlabelled: Interposition arthroplasty reportedly improves outcomes after traditional salvage procedures for advanced hallux rigidus. We hypothesized this procedure can provide pain relief and satisfactory function with few complications. We examined 18 patients with severe articular cartilage loss who received 21 interposition arthroplasties.
