Epidemiology of talus fractures in Finland: a nationwide register study from 1997 to 2020.

Background: The aim of this study was to estimate the nationwide incidence of talus fractures (per 100 000 person-years) and to determine the incidence of operative treatment in the Finnish population.

Methods: Based on Finnish Care Register for Health Care data, all patients 18 years and older admitted to hospital with talar fractures between 1997 and 2020 were included.

Results: During the 24-year study period, 5247 patients with primary or secondary diagnoses of talar fracture were identified.

Operative versus non-operative treatment for non-displaced Lisfranc injuries: A two-center randomized clinical trial.

Background And Aims: There is no consensus on which Lisfranc injuries can be treated non-operatively. The aim of the study was to compare non-operative treatment and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in the treatment of non-displaced Lisfranc injuries.

Materials And Methods: This study was a multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted at two hospitals in Finland between 19 March 2012, and 20 December 2022, with a target sample size of 60 patients.

Cone-beam computed tomography imaging and three-dimensional analysis of midfoot joints during non-weightbearing and weightbearing in 11 healthy feet.

Background: Studies report that Lisfranc injury is more common than thought. Several imaging methods for assessing the stability of Lisfranc injury have been described but many are impossible to standardize and not accurate enough.

Purpose: To present a three-dimensional (3D) method for analyzing the changes in the joint space width of the midfoot joint and the joints of the medial part of the Lisfranc complex in healthy individuals.

Open Reduction Internal Fixation vs Primary Arthrodesis for Displaced Lisfranc Injuries: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: There is no consensus whether the primary surgical method should be open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or primary arthrodesis (PA) for Lisfranc injuries. The aim of our randomized controlled trial was to compare ORIF and PA for displaced Lisfranc injuries.

Methods: This study was a national multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Evaluation of the changes in incidence and patient age of knee arthroscopy along with changes in time between knee arthroscopy and arthroplasty between 1998 and 2018: a nationwide register study.

Background: Recent evidence has led to guidelines to refrain from recommending knee arthroscopy for patients with an osteoarthritis diagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the latest changes in the incidence of arthroscopic surgery for degenerative knee disease, changes in the ages of those patients and the delay between knee arthroscopy and arthroplasty, in Finland between 1998 and 2018.

Method: The data for were collected from the Finnish National Hospital Discharge Register (NHDR).
