Biomechanical comparison in a cadaveric flatfoot model between different calcaneal osteotomies with and without transfer from the peroneus brevis to the longus

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Biomechanical comparison in a cadaveric flatfoot model between different calcaneal osteotomies with and without transfer from the peroneus brevis to the longus
Abstract Introduction Progressive collapsing flexible foot deformities are generally treated with joint-preserving techniques. Our objective was to evaluate biomechanically the effect of different calcaneal osteotomies with or without a peroneus…

Effects of exercise combined with external support on hallux valgus angle and pain: A systematic review and network meta-analysis

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Effects of exercise combined with external support on hallux valgus angle and pain: A systematic review and network meta-analysis
Abstract Background Hallux valgus (HV) is a common foot deformity that causes pain and functional limitations. For mild-to-moderate cases, conservative treatment such as exercise therapy and external supports is preferred….

Arthroscopic assisted fixation of posterior malleolus fractures: Technical pearls and clinical outcomes

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Arthroscopic assisted fixation of posterior malleolus fractures: Technical pearls and clinical outcomes
Abstract Background Posterior malleolus (PM) fractures compromise overall ankle stability, lending to poorer long-term prognosis without adequate fixation. There remains inconsistency in the preferred surgical approach to fixation of the…

Time critical charcot foot reconstructions can be safely performed in the absence of optimal preoperative glycaemic control when delivered by MDT

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Time critical charcot foot reconstructions can be safely performed in the absence of optimal preoperative glycaemic control when delivered by MDT
Abstract Aim Established guidelines recommend a pre-operative HbA1c target of 8.5 % for elective surgeries. Patients waiting for Charcot foot reconstructions often have impaired mobility and fail to achieve this…
