We read with interest the recent paper by Groarke et al. (Quality of life in individuals with chronic foot conditions: a cross sectional observational study. The Foot (2012) doi:10.1016/i.foot.2011.11.007). The paper ended by stating that 'there is no scoring system for the foot and ankle that is valid, repeatable and reliable'. This statement is misleading. The authors could have made reference to the patient-reported Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ). The MOXFQ has been subjected to more rigorous testing of its measurement properties than is the case for most instruments, and has been demonstrated to be acceptable, reliable, valid and responsive in the context of foot or ankle surgery.

Background: Ankle sprain is a common clinical disease, which has the highest incidence rate among joint and ligament injuries. And acute ankle sprains can easily develop into chronic ankle instability, thereby increasing the difficulty of treatment. The current clinical guidelines for post-acute ankle sprains are still controversial.

The orientation and rear legs have different roles in the spike jump (SPJ) in volleyball, yet the relationship between the jump height and kinetics of each leg remains underexplored. We aimed to clarify the relationships between jump height and kinetics of the orientation and rear legs in the SPJ. This study included 18 female college volleyball players.

We analysed the long-term adaptations of resisted sprint training (RST) with combined loads on the performance and kinematics of the maximal velocity (MV). One team women's professional soccer players performed a six-week training programme with progressive sled loading from 20% to 80% of body mass. Pre-training, post-training and detraining measures were obtained for sprint times for 0-20 m, 20-30 m and 0-30 m, while step length (SL), step rate (SR), step velocity, trunk, hip, thigh, knee, shank ankle, foot and centre of mass (CoM) angles were digitised with an 18-point human model.

Background: Previous studies have shown that dyslipidemia is significantly associated with primary frozen shoulder and may be a risk factor for the development of primary frozen shoulder. However, these findings may be biased by a number of confounding factors. We investigated the association between serum lipids and primary frozen shoulder by retrospective analysis and two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) methods.

The deltoid ligament (medial collateral ligament) and the syndesmosis (a composite ligamentous structure at the distal tibiofibular junction) are critical for maintaining ankle stability. In cases of high-energy ankle fractures, these structures are often injured simultaneously, leading to instability and potential long-term complications such as post-traumatic arthritis. This review aims to explore advancements in minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of combined deltoid ligament and syndesmosis injuries, with a focus on optimizing surgical outcomes and reducing patient morbidity.
