Impact of pain in other body regions on the foot-specific quality of life in patients with hallux valgus.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to clarify the prevalence of pain outside the foot, and to determine the associations of pain outside the foot with foot-specific quality of life (QOL) in patients with hallux valgus.

Methods: Patients scheduled to undergo hallux valgus surgery were recruited. Patients answered whether they experienced disabling pain in 13 body regions other than the foot.

Radiographic and Clinical Results of Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin Osteotomy for Moderate to Severe Hallux Valgus Deformities.

Background: Few studies have reported results of minimally invasive chevron Akin osteotomy (MICA) for moderate to severe hallux valgus correction. This study aims to evaluate MICA for moderate to severe hallux valgus radiographically and clinically.

Methods: Forty feet were prospectively reviewed.

Percutaneous Bunionette Correction Without Fixation: Clinical Results and Radiographic Evaluations Including Rotation of Metatarsal Head and Sagittal Angle Change of Fifth Metatarsal.

Bunionette deformities have been treated as an analog of hallux valgus, and the surgical techniques are similar. Most commonly anteroposterior image is evaluated pre- and postoperatively. To our knowledge, only one study has evaluated changes on the lateral radiograph and no study has evaluated changes in rotation of the fifth metatarsal head postoperatively.

Removal of Painful Os Paracuneiforme: A Case Report.

Os paracuneiforme (OPC) is an extremely rare accessory bone located either medial to the medial cuneiform or to the naviculocuneiform joint. Although OPC often appears on the list of accessory ossicles, there are few reported cases regarding this bone. OPC can cause symptoms that require surgical intervention, but only 2 surgically treated cases have been published in the literature in English.

Adult Flat Foot With Multiple Accessory Navicular Bones Treated Surgically: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Multiple accessory navicular bones is an extremely rare condition. To the best of our knowledge, only 8 cases in 2 imaging studies have been published. We report a case of a patient with flat foot with 2 accessory navicular bones.

Chronic extensor hallucis longus tendon rupture treated with double-bundle autograft of extensor hallucis capsularis: A case report.

The extensor hallucis capsularis is an accessory extensor tendon with varied occurrence. Here, we present the case of a 40-year-old man with chronic extensor hallucis longus tendon rupture treated using extensor hallucis capsularis tendon as a double-bundle autograft. He had dropped a knife proximal to the right hallux metatarsophalangeal joint 4 months ago.

Spontaneous rupture of uterine smooth muscle tumour presenting acute abdominal pain and haemoperitoneum.

Uterine smooth muscle tumours are histologically categorised into benign leiomyoma, malignant leiomyosarcoma or smooth muscle tumours of uncertain malignant potentials (STUMPs). Common symptoms of uterine tumours are hypermenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, lumbago or irregular genital bleeding. We experienced a case of uterine tumour with atypical clinical behaviour.

Accessory anterolateral talar facet impingement with tibialis spastic varus foot.

In recent years, some authors have reported accessory anterolateral talar facet impingement with flatfoot including peroneal spastic flatfoot. Conversely, to our knowledge, no case report has been published about accessory anterolateral talar facet impingement with tibialis spastic varus foot. We report the first case in a 22-year-old man with intellectual disability, bilateral cleft hands and type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle: A case report and review of the literature.

Objectives: Muscle hypertrophy is a relatively rare condition that may cause nerve entrapment syndromes. We report the case of a 14-year-old girl with unilateral hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle with entrapment of the medial plantar nerve and review the literature.

Methods: Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed unilateral hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle.

Severe Hallux Valgus With Coalition of the Hallux Sesamoids Treated With Modified Lapidus Procedure: A Case Report.

Unlabelled: Coalition of the hallux sesamoids is an extremely rare condition. To our knowledge, only 1 case report has been published. We report a case of severe hallux valgus deformities with coalitions of the hallux sesamoids.

Effectiveness of Percutaneous Proximal Closing Wedge Osteotomy With Akin Osteotomy to Correct Severe Hallux Valgus Determined by Radiographic Parameters.

Unlabelled: Some authors reported the results from percutaneous distal metatarsal osteotomy for hallux valgus recently. On the other hand, there are few reports of percutaneous proximal metatarsal osteotomy. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the radiographic results of percutaneous proximal closing wedge osteotomy with Akin osteotomy for correction of severe hallux valgus and increasing longitudinal arch height.

An Isolated Chronic Osteochondral Fracture of the Third Metatarsal Head Treated With Bioabsorbable Pins: A Case Report.

Unlabelled: An osteochondral fracture of the metatarsal head is generally the result of direct trauma and is associated with additional proximal fractures of the medially adjacent metatarsals. An isolated osteochondral fracture of the metatarsal head is extremely rare, with only 10 published case reports. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed in 6 of 10 cases and in 2 of 4 chronic cases, each with different implants previously.
