Outcomes of triple arthrodesis with IOFIX type fixation: A prospective study.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the patient reported outcome measures (PROMS), radiological outcome and complications when performing a triple arthrodesis using the IOFIX system for the talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints.

Methods: Data was collected prospectively. Twenty-nine consecutive patients were reviewed 1 year postoperative.

Foot biomechanics in patients with advanced subtalar- and mid-tarsal joint osteoarthritis and poorly responding to conservative treatment.

Background: A comprehensive insight into the effects of subtalar- and mid-tarsal joint osteoarthritis on lower limb's biomechanical characteristics during walking is lacking. Our goal was to assess joint kinematics and kinetics and compensatory mechanisms in patients with subtalar and mid-tarsal joint osteoarthritis.

Methods: Patients with symptomatic and radiographically confirmed osteoarthritis of the subtalar and mid-tarsal (n = 10) and an asymptomatic control group (n = 10) were compared.

Which parameters predict correction of the intermetatarsal angle after first metatarsophalangeal fusion?

Fusion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) is a commonly performed surgical procedure. Although the effect of first MTPJ fusion on reduction of Intermetatarsal angle (IMA) is well described, contributing factors remain unclear. The aim of this study was to identity predictive parameters for IMA reduction.

In Vivo Foot Segmental Motion and Coupling Analysis during Midterm Follow-Up after the Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Trimalleolar Fractures.

Purpose: Trimalleolar ankle fractures (TAFs) are common traumatic injuries. Studies have described postoperative clinical outcomes in relation to fracture morphology, but less is known about foot biomechanics, especially in patients treated for TAFs. The aim of this study was to analyze segmental foot mobility and joint coupling during the gait of patients after TAF treatment.
