Metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis of the hallux: A clinical comparison of fixation methods and a review of the literature

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis of the hallux: A clinical comparison of fixation methods and a review of the literature
Abstract Background First metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis (FMTPA) reliably treats severe hallux deformities. While fixation techniques differ biomechanically, there is no evidence that this influences clinical outcomes. This study compares clinical…

Weightbearing radiographs accurately predict deep deltoid ligament injury in Weber B ankle fractures – a minimally invasive arthroscopic evaluation

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Weightbearing radiographs accurately predict deep deltoid ligament injury in Weber B ankle fractures – a minimally invasive arthroscopic evaluation
Abstract Background Differentiating Weber B/SER4a from SER4b fractures relies on weightbearing radiographs and gravity stress tests, assumed to reflect deep posterior tibiotalar ligament (dPTTL) integrity. This study assessed their diagnostic…

Defining normal joint space width in essential joints of the foot and ankle using an objective weight bearing CT hounsfield unit algorithm

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Defining normal joint space width in essential joints of the foot and ankle using an objective weight bearing CT hounsfield unit algorithm
Abstract Background The tibiotalar (TT), subtalar (ST), talonavicular (TN), and first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints of the foot and ankle are essential for foot mobility and function. Assessing progression of osteoarthritis…

Biomechanical effects of selective tarsometatarsal arthrodesis configurations: A finite element analysis

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Biomechanical effects of selective tarsometatarsal arthrodesis configurations: A finite element analysis
Abstract Background The biomechanical effects of different tarsometatarsal (TMT) arthrodesis configurations on adjacent joints remain unclear. This finite element study evaluated load transfer and pressure redistribution following selective TMT fusion….

Translation, validation, and test-retest reliability of the foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) scale in hindi-speaking population

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Translation, validation, and test-retest reliability of the foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) scale in hindi-speaking population
Abstract Background The foot and ankle ability measure (FAAM) scale is a patient-reported outcome measure used to assess lower extremity functional status in a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. It was…
