Intrinsic subtalar ligaments are primary varus stabilizers of the subtalar joint: A 3D cadaveric motion analysis

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Intrinsic subtalar ligaments are primary varus stabilizers of the subtalar joint: A 3D cadaveric motion analysis
Abstract Background The respective roles of subtalar joint intrinsic ligament (cervical ligament [CL], interosseous talocalcaneal ligament [ITCL]) versus the extrinsic calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) are unclear. This study aimed to use…

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…
