The Effectiveness of the Modified Side-Locking Loop Suture Technique with Early Accelerated Rehabilitation for Acute Achilles Tendon Rupture in Athletes.

An early accelerated rehabilitation is generally recommended after surgery for acute Achilles tendon ruptures (ATRs). The modified side-locking loop suture (MSLLS) is a surgical technique that provides high tensile strength to the repaired Achilles tendon and allows for a safe, early accelerated rehabilitation protocol without requiring postoperative immobilization. However, there are no reports investigating the clinical outcomes of the MSLLS technique with early accelerated rehabilitation for ATRs.

Relationship between the medial cuneiform bone morphology and the severity of hallux valgus.

Background: It has been reported on the relationship between the medial cuneiform bone morphology, especially in terms of obliquity, and the severity of hallux valgus (HV), however, no consensus has been obtained. On the other hand, there are no reports on the relationship between the difference in height between the medial and intermediate cuneiforms and the severity of hallux valgus. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between the medial cuneiform bone morphology and the severity of HV.

Lateral process fracture of the talus in a basketball player treated with arthroscopic reduction-internal fixation: a case report.

An open reduction-internal fixation is generally recommended in Type I lateral process fractures of the talus when the dislocation of the fragment is >2 mm. This report describes a case of a lateral process fracture of the talus in a 24-year-old male basketball player who underwent arthroscopic reduction-internal fixation. The patient complained of pain on the lateral aspect of his left ankle during a cutting motion.

Fragility fracture of talar neck in an osteoporotic patient treated by posterior-to-anterior screw fixation under hindfoot endoscopy: a case report.

Fragility fractures of the talar neck are extremely rare. Here, we describe a case of fragility fracture of the talar neck associated with osteoporosis in a 76-year-old female, who was treated by posterior-to-anterior screw fixation under hindfoot endoscopy. A 76-year-old female cleaner with a history of osteoporosis complained of pain in her right ankle when going downstairs.

Characteristic Poses in Ballet in the Case of a Retired Classical Ballerina after Bilateral THA: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Background: Ballet dance involves extreme range of motion (ROM) in the hip joint. This ROM can cause injuries including labral strain, tears, and subluxation episodes. .

Nonunion of a Stress Fracture at the Base of the Second Metatarsal in a Soccer Player Treated by Osteosynthesis with the Bridging Plate Fixation Technique.

Background: A stress fracture of the second metatarsal base in soccer players is extremely rare. In this case study, we report a nonunion of a stress fracture at the base of the second metatarsal in a female soccer player who had persistent pain despite continued conservative treatment, who then was treated with the bridging plate fixation technique. .

New combined anteversion technique in hybrid THA: cup-first procedure with CT-based navigation.

Purpose: Combined anteversion (CA) technique (stem-first procedure) is generally accepted as the optimal technique to attain an appropriate CA value in total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, cup anteversion is strongly influenced by the native femoral anteversion. Accordingly, anterior protrusion of the cup in the acetabulum might occur.
