Introduction: The clinical feasibility and applicability of surface landmarks for Baxter nerve entrapment to proximal and distal sites is unclear. This study provides anatomical guidelines for optimal transducer placement using two specific landmarks, the most inferior tip of the medial malleolus (A) and the most protruding posterior tip of the calcaneus (B), to enhance the diagnostic and therapeutic injection efficacy for proximal and distal entrapment sites.
Materials And Methods: Eighty-six feet from 45 fresh cadavers (25 male and 20 female) were dissected to determine Baxter's nerve (BN) localization.

The research aims to investigate the mechanical response of footfalls at different velocities to understand the mechanism of heel injury and provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of heel fractures. A three-dimensional solid model of foot drop was constructed using anatomical structures segmented from medical CT scans, including bone, cartilage, ligaments, plantar fascia, and soft tissues, and the impact velocities of the foot were set to be 2 m/s, 4 m/s, 6 m/s, 8 m/s, and 10 m/s. Explicit kinetic analysis methods were used to investigate the mechanical response of the foot landing with different speeds to explore the damage mechanism of heel bone at different impact velocities.

Background Haglund's syndrome, a common cause of pain in the posterior heel that consists of painful swelling of the local soft tissues and prominence of the posterosuperior calcaneal projection, presents significant challenges in treatment, particularly when conservative management fails. This study evaluates the functional outcomes following oblique partial excision of the posterosuperior portion (calcaneal tuberosity osteotomy) of the calcaneus for Haglund's syndrome. Methods A cohort of 30 patients, aged 18 years and older, with persistent heel pain unresponsive to conservative treatments, underwent partial osteotomy using a medial or lateral approach.

Background: Flexible flatfoot is a normal finding in infants and the arch is shaped spontaneously in most children before the age of 10 years. Flexible flatfoot is a common deformity in both adolescent and adult populations.
Objective: This prospective study aims to assess the functional and radiological outcomes of subtalar arthroereisis in adolescent patients with symptomatic flexible flatfoot.

Objective: Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of combined repositioning - open repositioning of the depressed articular facet combined with intraoperative two-vector distraction of the calcaneus with a new external fixation distraction apparatus and osteosynthesis with a calcaneal plate with angular stability of a Sanders IV type fracture..
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: This study evaluates the results of sequential two-vector distraction with a repositioning apparatus for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of a Sanders IV calcaneal fracture.
