Article Synopsis
- Haglund exostosis-related heel pain can be treated with dorsal closing wedge calcaneal osteotomy (DCWCO), which has shown promising clinical outcomes in recent studies.
- A study involving 15 patients measured ankle muscle strength and gait function before and a year after surgery, finding minor differences in strength between limbs and improving gait dynamics.
- Post-surgery, patients reported a 48% improvement in foot function, with 80% feeling significantly benefited by the procedure, suggesting effective long-term results from the surgery.
Purpose: To examine the measurement properties of the German PROMIS short forms for pain intensity (PAIN), pain interference (PI) and physical function (PF) in orthopedic foot and ankle surgery patients.
Methods: Patient-rated outcomes were collected from consecutive patients of our foot and ankle registry before and 6 months after surgery. Measurement properties were tested according to the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement Instruments (COSMIN).
Objective: Pain free weight bearing ability with orthograde hindfoot position and preserved tibiotalar motion.
Indications: Symptomatic arthritis of the ankle and subtalar joint, additional subtalar hindfoot malalignment.
Contraindications: Absolute: acute infection, noncorrectable ligamentous instability or bony defects, restricted perfusion, diabetic foot syndrome.
Background And Purpose: Computer navigation in total knee arthroplasty is somewhat controversial. We have previously shown that femoral component positioning is more accurate with computed navigation than with conventional implantation techniques, but the clinical impact of this is unknown. We now report the 5-year outcome of our previously reported 2-year outcome study.
