Comparing proximal and distal chevron osteotomy for moderate to severe hallux valgus: A meta-analysis of clinical and radiological outcomes, focusing on hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Comparing proximal and distal chevron osteotomy for moderate to severe hallux valgus: A meta-analysis of clinical and radiological outcomes, focusing on hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle
Abstract Background Moderate to severe hallux valgus deformities are traditionally managed with proximal chevron osteotomy (PCO) due to its ability to correct significant angular deviations. However, distal chevron osteotomy (DCO),…

Abnormal axial rotation of the Talus on weight-bearing computed tomography in patients with micro-instability of the ankle

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Abnormal axial rotation of the Talus on weight-bearing computed tomography in patients with micro-instability of the ankle
Abstract Background While diagnosing mechanical chronic ankle instability (CAI) is often straightforward, identifying subtle micro-instability remains challenging. A tear of the superior bundle of the lateral ligament complex has been…
