Most osteochondral lesions of the first metatarsal head are likely traumatic in etiology. The treatment ranges from microfractures to mosaicplasty. In this case report, we describe a central osteochondral lesion of the first metatarsal head treated with osteochondral graft obtained from the head of the same metatarsal in combination with Moberg osteotomy. After surgical treatment, the patient's American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Forefoot Scale score improved from 58 to 85, and the range of motion also improved. This technique may be an alternative treatment modality for osteochondral lesions of the first metatarsal.: .

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the sensorimotor function in patients with unilateral chronic ankle instability (CAI) and compare their abilities to healthy controls, focusing on sensory reweighting and vestibular modulation.
  • Twenty individuals with unilateral CAI and twenty healthy participants underwent various tests to evaluate ankle proprioception, plantar sensation, balance, and motor control, using a mix of analyses to compare the groups.
  • Results indicated that those with CAI had increased sensory thresholds for light touch and two-point discrimination bilaterally, moderate deficits in certain motor control measures, and showed postural instability in balance tests when compared to healthy controls.

Hard-to-heal wounds represent a global and growing medical and economic burden. Skin autografting is a useful treatment option but is often limited by donor site morbidity, logistical considerations, and grafting success in compromised wound beds. Combining autologous skin cell suspension (ASCS) technology with minced dermal grafts can allow for dermal elements and epithelial healing as well as closed donor sites.

Assessing the AIR classification reliability for estimating pronation of the first metatarsal.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord

December 2024

Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, No.31, Xinjiekou East Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, 100035, China.

Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is a multiplanar deformity and surgical treatment is often guided by two-dimensional radiographic parameters. This study assessed the reliability and accuracy of the AIR classification(The first metatarsal head's lateral edge can be delineated as angular (type A), round (type R), or intermediate (type I) through visual inspection or circle measurements on weight-bearing radiographs.)commonly used in clinical settings to categorize the shape of the lateral edge of the first metatarsal head, against measurements from weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT).

Isolated osseous involvement without lymphadenopathy is a rare manifestation of Rosai-Dorfman disease. It clinically and radiologically mimics infections and primary bone tumors. The present report describes a 9-year-old girl with multifocal monomelic osseous involvement as an isolated manifestation.

Background: There is limited literature available that provide information about fixation methods for minimally invasive hallux valgus osteotomies. Our objective was to evaluate the strength of different fixation methods for a percutaneous extracapsular transverse cervical metatarsal (PTCM) osteotomy in a sawbone model.

Methods: Thirty solid foam sawbone foot models were used.
