BACKGROUND: The primary motion of the toes is flexion and extension. The motion results from activity of multiple muscles, and toe disorders may result from muscle dysfunction. The relationships of specific muscles related to toe function is underreported. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate three-dimensional toe motion resulting from specific muscle contraction using cadavers. METHODS: Three-dimensional joint movements of the 1st, 2nd, and 5th toe were produced by applying traction of individual muscles using six Thiel-embalmed cadaver legs...

AAFD comprises ligamentous failure and tendon overload, mainly focused on the symptomatic posterior tibial tendon and the spring ligament. Increased lateral column (LC) instability arising in AAFD is not defined or quantified. This study aims to quantify the increased LC motion in unilateral symptomatic planus feet, using the contralateral unaffected asymptomatic foot as an internal control. In this case matched analysis, 15 patients with unilateral stage 2 AAFD foot and an unaffected contralateral foot were included...

BACKGROUND: Diabetic foot amputations are a devastating outcome for any diabetic patient. They are associated with various risk factors, including failure to risk stratify the diabetic foot. Early risk stratification could lower foot complications risk at the primary healthcare level (PHC). In the Republic of South Africa (RSA), PHC clinics are the first entry point to the public healthcare system. Failure to correctly identify, risk categorise, and refer diabetic foot complications at this level may lead to poor clinical outcomes for diabetic patients...

INTRODUCTION: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a disorder that occurs after one or more acute ankle sprains and is characterised by persistent symptoms which include episodes of ''giving way'' a sensation of instability, recurrent ankle sprains, and functional deficits. Despite of effective treatment strategies a comprehensive approach is needed that can break this continuum of disability and improve the postural control. A systematic review with meta-analysis assessing the effectiveness of interventions targeting plantar cutaneous receptors for improving postural control in individuals with chronic ankle instability...

BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that, as posterior malleolar ankle fractures usually present one or two main fragments, the buttress plating principle can be successfully achieved either with conventional nonlocking or anatomic locking posterior tibia plates, and no clinical differences should be found. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of posterior malleolar ankle (PM) fractures treated with conventional nonlocking (CNP) or anatomic locking plates (ALP), and also to compare both constructs in terms of crude costs...

Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the distal tibia can result in significant bone loss and soft tissue compromise, which can present a challenge for reconstruction. Various techniques have been described for the reconstruction of large defects, including the use of allografts. In this article, we describe a novel technique of reconstruction of a large defect in the distal tibia using two femoral head allografts after resection of GCT. The technique involves using two femoral head allografts, which are shaped to fit the defect and secured with a locking plate and screws...

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a clinical condition that affects gait performance and control in millions of individuals worldwide. Contrary to basic spatiotemporal parameters, gait-based spectral analysis may provide useful insights into gait neuromotor control. Hence, this study was set to investigate the spectral content of gait at the preferred speed in patients with DM. METHODS: Total 1117 individuals [658 DM and 649 healthy adults (HA)] performed a 10 m walk while wearing an inertial measurement unit over the fourth lumbar vertebra...

BACKGROUND: Tailors bunions are common forefoot deformities affecting the fifth MPJ, with challenging symptomatology often resistant to conservative care. Currently no gold standard exists for the surgical management of tailor's bunions, although the scarf osteotomy has been described as a versatile option for reducing these deformities.

Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease-causing pain and disability, and its management keeps creating a debate. So, we aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of total ankle arthroplasty and ankle arthrodesis for ankle osteoarthritis. We searched PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science till August 2021. The outcomes were pooled as Mean difference (MD) or Risk Ratio (RR), and 95% confidence interval. We included 36 studies. The results showed a significantly lower risk of infections in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) than ankle arthrodesis (AA) (RR= 0...

BACKGROUND: When evaluating hallux valgus (HV) deformity with anteroposterior (AP) foot radiographs, the distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) has been the subject of frequent debate. Although a straightforward indicator of structural alignment of the distal first metatarsal articular surface, inter- and intraobserver measurements can vary widely. Alterations in the radiographic appearance of bony "structure" with positional changes of the foot/foot bones in HV deformities in no small part contributes to these inaccuracies...

BACKGROUND: The provision of therapeutic footwear, to prevent the development of diabetic foot ulcers by re-distributing high peak plantar pressure is frequently prescribed for patients with diabetes. Areas of interest (ROI) are identified by placing boxes on the visualised pressure movie. The aims were to evaluate the inter-reliability of the placements of seven ROI boxes and to explore how the box placement affected peak pressure in the seven ROIs. METHODS: Plantar pressure movies from 20 of a total of 40 movies were selected for the analysis...
