AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Shortening of the distal fibula after malleolar fracture is accompanied with important alterations of the biomechanics and the compressive forces of the ankle joint. The relationship between the extent of shortening, the degree of valgus position of the talus and the reduction of the joint surfaces is described on the basis of experimental investigations. The importance of these circumstances for treatment of malleolar fractures is discussed.

Successful Healing After Minimally Invasive Subtalar Fusion Following Comminuted Open Calcaneus Fracture: A Case Report.
JBJS Case Connect
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, Mass General Brigham, Boston, Massachusetts.
Case: A 51-year-old male polytrauma patient presented with bilateral calcaneus fractures after a fall. This report describes treatment of his right comminuted Sanders IV calcaneus fracture with percutaneous open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) primary subtalar fusion to restore alignment and preserve soft tissue.
Conclusion: Unlike traditional open approaches, which are prone to wound complications due to larger incisions, our approach of maintaining fracture alignment during joint preparation using an MIS burr for acute posttrauma subtalar arthrodesis and percutaneous ORIF appears to have reduced these risks, resulting in successful radiological healing and functional recovery at 1-year follow-up.
Initial Contact with Forefoot or Rearfoot in Spastic Patients After Stroke-Three-Dimensional Gait Analysis.

Laboratório de Marcha, Centro de Medicina de Reabilitação de Alcoitão, 2649-506 Alcabideche, Portugal.
Background/objectives: Post-stroke hemiparetic gait often presents with asymmetric patterns to compensate for stability deficits. This study examines gait differences in chronic stroke patients with spastic hemiparesis based on initial foot contact type-forefoot versus rearfoot.
Methods: Thirty-four independently walking spastic hemiparetic patients were retrospectively analyzed.
Is the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis related to the fracture site? A two-sample mendelian randomization study.

Department of Joint Surgery, HongHui Hospital, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China.
Objective: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a known complication of fractures. This study aimed to explore the genetic causal relationship between DVT and fracture sites.
Research Design And Methods: The exposures analyzed in this study included fracture of femur (FFE), fracture of lower leg, including ankle (FLLA), fracture of shoulder and upper arm (FSUA), fracture of forearm (FFO), fracture of rib, sternum and thoracic spine (FRSTS) and fracture of lumbar spine and pelvis (FLSP).

: Falls and fall consequences in older adults are global health issues. Previous studies have compared postural sways or stepping strategies between older adults with and without fall histories to identify factors associated with falls. However, more in-depth neuromuscular/kinematic mechanisms have remained unclear.

Rehabilitation of gait function in post-stroke hemiplegic patients is critical for improving mobility and quality of life, requiring a comprehensive understanding of individual gait patterns. Previous studies on gait analysis using unsupervised clustering often involve manual feature extraction, which introduces limitations such as low accuracy, low consistency, and potential bias due to human intervention. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify and cluster gait patterns using an end-to-end deep learning approach that autonomously extracts features from joint angle trajectories for a gait cycle, minimizing human intervention.
