Intramedullary pinning of concomitant fibular shaft fractures prevents postoperative tibial shaft malalignment without increasing soft tissue complications

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Intramedullary pinning of concomitant fibular shaft fractures prevents postoperative tibial shaft malalignment without increasing soft tissue complications
Abstract Background Tibial diaphysis fractures, accounting for 17 % of lower extremity fractures, are often associated with fibular fractures. This study compares intramedullary pinning and extramedullary plating for fibular fixation…

Does the medial longitudinal arch collapse recur after subtalar arthroereisis implant removal? A long-term follow-up study in adolescents

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Does the medial longitudinal arch collapse recur after subtalar arthroereisis implant removal? A long-term follow-up study in adolescents
Abstract Background Flexible flatfoot is a common pediatric condition characterized by a reducible loss of the medial longitudinal arch during weight-bearing. While subtalar arthroereisis is widely used for its minimally…

Mechanical failure after primary internal fixation of unstable ankle fractures –A retrospective observational study

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Mechanical failure after primary internal fixation of unstable ankle fractures –A retrospective observational study
Abstract Background Ankle fractures are common injuries treated by trauma surgeons. Failure of fixation necessitating subsequent revisions remains a significant concern, carrying increased morbidity and healthcare cost. Mechanical failures are…

Evaluation of the osseous morphology at ATFL attachments and its anatomic ligamentous features in chronic ankle instability using MRI

Sep 5, 2026 by in ORTHOPEDIC Comments Off on Evaluation of the osseous morphology at ATFL attachments and its anatomic ligamentous features in chronic ankle instability using MRI
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between chronic ankle instability (CAI) and both the anatomical characteristics of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and the bony morphometry of…

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…
