INTRODUCTION: First Ray Instability (FRI) and especially hypermobility leads to the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch's structural framework, which reduces the foot's ability to become a rigid lever for propulsion, resulting in progressive foot deformities. Early detection of FRI with prompt intervention helps prevent degenerative foot deformities. Various manual, device-based and radiographic diagnostic tests for FRI quantification have been described in the literature. We aim to conduct an up-to-date, comprehensive, systematic review of the literature reporting on diagnostic tests to evaluate FRI...

BACKGROUND: Hallux valgus (HV) is a common foot pathology. Severe HV in the presence of Tarsometatarsal joint (TMTJ) instability is often managed with arthrodesis of the 1st TMTJ. There are concerns regarding non-union and malunion (particularly the early loss of inter-metatarsal angle correction before complete arthrodesis). We report our medium-term results of a small series of patients that underwent an evolved surgical technique utilising orthogonal staples and a transverse suture button fixation to address biomechanical concerns with traditional Lapidus arthrodesis...

The intrinsic muscles of the foot are important to maintain the arch of the foot and to participate in sports activities. Using ultrasound shear wave elastography, we investigated the effect of different toe flexion methods on the activity of the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the foot. The study included 15 healthy adults who performed toe flexion under 2 conditions: with interphalangeal (IP) joint flexion and without IP joint flexion. The applied load during flexion was 500 g. Muscle stiffness was measured in the abductor hallucis, flexor hallucis brevis, flexor digitorum brevis, quadratus plantae, flexor hallucis longus, and flexor digitorum longus muscles using ultrasound shear wave elastography...

BACKGROUND: Literature has shown implicit bias in the treatment between non-operative and surgical treatment in patients with certain types of ankle fractures, which comprise 7.6% of all adult fractures. An understanding of any bias across all ankle fracture management may prove to be critical for the understanding of potential correlations between treatment methods and outcomes of patients with ankle fractures. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether there is a sex-based bias in the operative and non-operative treatment of all ankle fractures...

INTRODUCTION: Traditionally, early surgical management of Lisfranc injuries with transarticular screws (TAS) was deemed to be the optimal treatment. However, concerns of potential iatrogenic articular cartilage disruption has led to discrepancies in opinion amongst surgeons, with many surgeons now utilizing dorsal bridge plates (DBP) for ORIF of Lisfranc injuries. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to investigate the clinical outcomes at medium-term follow-up of consecutive patients in our institution who underwent ORIF with DBP for Lisfranc injuries...

The enhanced paper grip test (EPGT) offers an easy-to-use measure of hallux plantar-flexion strength that does not need expensive specialised equipment. Literature suggests that it could be a useful screening tool to assess the risk of falling in older people. However, research on a specific mechanistic link to the risk of falling is lacking. It is hypothesised here that muscle weakening (assessed by the EPGT) is indicative of impaired ability to recover balance after a slip or a trip. To get an initial assessment of validity of the above hypothesis, the EPGT is compared against an established lab-based measure of lower-limb strength that is capable of assessing a person's ability to recover balance after a slip or a trip: maximum isometric leg press push-off force (leg press force)...

BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) are rare but serious complications after foot and ankle fracture surgery. A consensus definition of a high-risk patient has not been reached, leading to significant variability in the use of pharmacologic agents for VTE prophylaxis. The aim of this study was to develop a model for predicting VTE risk in patients undergoing surgery for foot and ankle fractures that is usable and scalable in clinical practice. METHODS: A retrospective review of 15,342 patients, within the ACS-NSQIP database, who had undergone surgical repair of foot and ankle fractures from 2015 to 2019 was performed...

Human foot has outdistanced a long way from climbing to trees to walking all day long, within a relatively short period. Today, we are suffering from a number of aching foot problems and deformities as compromises to transition from quadripedalism to bipedalism, which is perhaps the sole derivative of the modern human being. In today's modern environment, the choice between being chic or healthy is a difficult decision to make, consequently our feet ache. To cope with such evolutionary mismatches we only need to adopt our ancestors' receipt: wearing minimal shoes, walking and squatting as much as we can...
