We describe a patient who sustained an extra-articular, oblique and angulated first metatarsal fracture. The medial hallucal sesamoid bone was subsequently found to have entered the fracture gap preventing reduction. We describe treatment of this rare injury with a successful outcome.

The patellar compression angle: a new, accurate diagnostic angle for lateral patellar compression syndrome.

J Orthop Surg Res

January 2025

Clinical School/College of Orthopedics, Tianjin Medical University, 406 Jiefang South Road, Tianjin, 300211, China.

Background: Lateral patellar compression syndrome (LPCS) is a common cause of anterior knee pain. Early diagnosis of LPCS using an accurate radiological examination is, therefore, important. However, the currently used radiological examinations for detecting LPCS are poor diagnostic indicators.

An alternative fixation for all mild and moderate hallux valgus cases enabling intraoperative readjustment.

J Orthop Surg Res

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Adana City Training and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Adana, Turkey.

Background: The development of a cost-effective and easily applicable fixation method to address all components of hallux valgus (HV) surgery is of great importance to the field. This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy of an  alternative fixation method that combines the advantages aspects of commonly used distal osteotomy techniques and evaluate its level of applicability in the treatment of mild and moderate HV cases.

Methods: The retrospectively designed study was conducted at Adana City Training and Research Hospital, Adana, Türkiye.

Objective: The treatment of comminuted inferior pole patellar fractures has long posed a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. This study aims to compare the biomechanical stability and clinical efficacy of Kirschner wire tension band combined with anchor cross-suture fixation versus traditional partial patellectomy in the treatment of comminuted inferior pole patellar fractures.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 14 patients who underwent Kirschner wire tension band combined with anchor cross-suture fixation (Group A) in our department of orthopedics from September 2020 to April 2022.

Purpose: Previous studies reported that anterior knee pain (AKP) occurs with an incidence of 32% after opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). However, the biomechanical effects of this procedure on patellofemoral joints (PFJs) remain unclear. We aimed to quantify the changes in the kinematics and cartilage conditions of the PFJ during stair climbing before and after OWHTO.

: Hallux valgus is a common forefoot disorder with hundreds of proposed management techniques. Distal chevron osteotomy with a modified McBride procedure has been traditionally recommended for mild hallux valgus because of its simple and less invasive nature with fewer complications, faster recovery, and reliable outcomes. In recent years, the indications for this procedure have expanded to include hallux valgus with severe deformities.
