[Risk factors associated to musculoskeletal pathologies in athletes with cavus foot through baropodometric studies].

Introduction: The cavus foot is a musculoskeletal pathology with an increase of the medial arch of the concavity of the foot. The etiology of the cavus foot is still enigmatic, it is related with neurologic conditions, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Friedreich's ataxia, and cerebral palsy. The aim of this research was to analyze the plantar pressure distribution of the feet on young athletes with cavus foot.

[Functional assessment in total knee arthroplasty comparing the posterior cruciate ligament preservation versus postero-stabilization].

Introduction: The two most commonly used types of prostheses are the total knee prosthesis with posterior cruciate ligament preservation and posterior cruciate ligament replacement.

Objective: To assess whether there is a difference in functionality between the two procedures.

Material And Methods: Observational, retrospective and cross-sectional study with 134 patients divided into group A (N = 67) with ligament preservation and group B (N = 67) with posterior substituting.

[Exposed dislocation of the first and second cuneiform bones and fracture in situ of the third cuneiform bone of the foot: Clinical case and literature review].

Backgrounds: The isolated fracture/dislocation of the cuneiform bones is a not very frequent event and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. This type of event is presented as a variation of the Lisfranc injuries. The present report shows a rare clinical case of a patient with dislocation of the first and second cuneiform bones and fracture in situ of the third cuneiform bone of the left foot.

[Biomechanical analysis through numerical simulation of rupture of the tibial posterior tendon in valgus flat foot: a cadeveric study].

The insufficiency of the posterior tibial tendon is the most common acquired cause of pain related to valgus flatfoot deformity in adults. The acquired flatfoot adult is a very painful symptomatic deformity resulting from a gradual stretching (attenuation) of the posterior tibial tendon and ligaments that support the arch of the foot. The progressive pain acquired flatfoot adult affects four times more women than men.

[A cadaveric study of a new capsulorrhaphy for the surgical treatment of hallux valgus].

Background: There are many surgical options for the treatment of hallux valgus in combination with capsular repairs for the correction of hallux valgus.

Material And Methods: This report corresponds to a descriptive study where a new capsulorrhaphy technique in hallux valgus is proposed. Six dissections were performed on cadavers with hallux valgus deformity using the following surgical technique: medial approach on the first toe longitudinally, dissecting by planes and locating the metatarsophalangeal joint capsule; it was incised longitudinally.
