Pedodynographic measurements after forefoot reconstruction in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

From January 1987 to December 1992, 38 patients (59 feet) with rheumatoid arthritis underwent reconstruction of the forefoot using Keller-Lelièvre arthroplasty of the first metatarsophalangeal joint and Hoffman resection of the lesser metatarsal heads. The average age of the patients was 61.3 years, with both feet involved in 21 patients and 17 with single foot involvement.

Osteoarthritis of the elbow following an extensive Darrach procedure.

Extensive radiohumeral joint degeneration was found at the elbow in a 41-year-old woman after an (extensive) Darrach procedure. Arguments supporting the hypothesis of a proximal migration of the radius are presented.

Results of excision of the interdigital nerve in the treatment of Morton's metatarsalgia.

Thirty-one patients (thirty-two feet) had excision of the interdigital nerve as treatment of their Morton's metatarsalgia. A longitudinal dorsal incision was used in all cases. Twenty-five out of 32 cases had a macroscopically visible neuroma, and only two had no evidence of a neuroma on histological examination.
