To analyze the distribution characteristics of foot deformities and the biomechanical features of the feet among elderly diabetic patients in the community. A total of 3 148 elderly diabetic patients (6 296 feet) who participated in the diabetic foot screening program in Jinshan District, Shanghai, from March to May 2023 were included, with 1 357 males and 1 791 females, aged (70.7±6.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of flexor tendon tenotomy treatment of the diabetic hammertoe deformity on plantar pressure.
Research Design And Methods: The study was a substudy including participants from a randomized study on tenotomy treatment of diabetic hammertoes. This study was conducted between December 20, 2019 and June 22, 2021.

With the aiming of solving problems with the existing ordinary excavator buckets used in the process of operations (such as heavy digging resistance, ease of adhesion, and others), seven types of bionic buckets and a prototype bucket were designed, based on the contractile-state curve of the earthworm head and the contour curve of the pangolin claw toe. The digging processes of the buckets were simulated using the discrete element method. The results show that, compared with the prototype buckets, all seven types of bionic buckets have significant drag reduction effects at the same digging depth, and the drag reduction effects increase with the decrease of digging speed.

Hammer toe deformity is a highly prevalent lesser toe deformity and accounts for a high proportion of appointments to foot and ankle clinics. Its etiology is due to extrinsic and intrinsic muscular imbalance, attenuation and subsequent rupture of the plantar plate, and neuromuscular disorders. This leads to marked flexion of the proximal interphalangeal joint and extension of the metatarsophalangeal joint.

Background: Patients with spastic equinus, equinovarus, and claw toe deformities can experience marked pain and functional limitations in the ability to weight-bear comfortably, ambulate efficiently, or mobilize independently. Seen in 80% of patients with cerebral palsy and 18% of patients with stroke (1, 2), the spastic foot and ankle deformities, and its secondary sequelae of static joint contractures, osseous changes, and chronic pain, are unfortunately common.
Methods: Adult and pediatric patients undergoing combined hyperselective and selective partial motor neurectomies for varus or claw toe deformities were reviewed.
