Foot volume measurements were taken on 12 feet of nine female intercollegiate volleyball players (mean age of 20 years) before and after a 2-hr rigorous practice session. No significant difference was found between foot volume before and after exercise. A slight reduction in the foot volume after exercise was noted in comparison with the foot volume before exercise. These findings suggest that fitting footwear with extra space in front of the longest toe to accommodate changes in foot length associated with foot volume increases following exercise is not necessary. However, providing extra space in front of the longest toe during shoe fitting should still be considered in order to accommodate anterior sliding of the foot during athletic activities.

Morselized Femoral Head Impaction Bone Grafting of Large Defects in Ankle and Hindfoot Fusions.
Foot Ankle Int
January 2025
Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust, Foot & Ankle Unit, Stanmore, United Kingdom.
Background: Ankle and hindfoot fusion in the presence of large bony defects represents a challenging problem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes of patients who underwent ankle-hindfoot fusions with impaction bone grafting (IBG) with morselized femoral head allograft to fill large bony void defects.
Methods: This was a 3-center, retrospective review of a consecutive series of 49 patients undergoing ankle or hindfoot fusions with femoral head IBG for filling large bony defects.
Computerized Tomography for Diagnosing Traumatic Arthrotomies of the Ankle.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, Illinois.
Background: Owing to the risk for septic arthritis, traumatic arthrotomies are an urgent surgical problem for the treating orthopaedic surgeon. Traditionally, diagnosis is with the saline load test (SLT), although in the awake patient is an invasive and potentially painful procedure. While computerized tomography (CT) has been shown to be a reliable diagnostic tool for traumatic arthrotomies of other joints, its role has only recently been investigated in the setting of ankle arthrotomy.

Introduction: Diabetic foot infections represent a common and serious complication of diabetes mellitus, with a wide range of clinical presentations. Despite their significance, uncertainties persist regarding their management and impact on Internal Medicine services.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Registry of Specialized Healthcare Activity (RAE-CMBD) over a five-year period (2018-22).
Background: Total ankle replacement (TAR) has evolved in the last decade from a procedure rife with complication and failure to a promising alternative to arthrodesis. The ability to maintain ankle joint range of motion is showing great promise in patient-reported outcomes, postsurgical pain, as well as long-term sequalae of joint fusion. Although TAR can be performed via either an anterior or lateral approach both with their own sets of benefits and potential complications, the consensus seems to be that one is no better than the other when performed by high-volume surgeons.

Diabetic foot, leg ulcers and decubitus ulcers affect millions of individuals worldwide leading to poor quality of life, pain and in several cases to limb amputations. Despite the global dimension of this clinical problem, limited progress has been made in developing more efficacious wound dressings, the design of which currently focusses on wound protection and control of its exudate volume. The present in vitro study systematically analysed seven types of clinically-available wound dressings made of different biomaterial composition and engineering.
