Background: Repetitive loading during running is associated with the occurrence of running injuries. Several previous studies have assessed plantar pressure before, during, and after running. However, the difference in plantar pressure before and aft...
Background: Flat feet show increased foot motion during dynamic tasks. Although the increased motion is one of the risk factors for sports-related injuries, few studies have investigated how foot flexibility affects foot kinematics during landing. Th...
The management of fractures in diabetic patients poses unique challenges, particularly due to complications such as neuropathy, poor bone quality, and impaired healing. This case study explores the nonoperative management of multiple displaced metata...
Background: The purpose of this study was to quantify metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint contact characteristics before and after reconstruction of osteochondral defects using a novel hybrid procedure. Methods: The MTP joint contact areas, mean contact...
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease that affects various organs, including the musculoskeletal system. Tenosynovitis is a common manifestation of sarcoidosis involving the synovial sheaths surrounding the tendons. Sarcoid tenosynovitis is...
This is a case of an 11-year-old boy who experienced pain and peroneal spastic flatfeet due to the accessory anterolateral talar facet impingement (AATFI). Multiple conservative treatments have been used, but with poor results. Finally, he was referr...
Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is defined as an entrapment neuropathy from compression of the tibial nerve and/or distal terminal nerves in the tarsal tunnel, the medial foot, and/or ankle. While the incidence of TTS following a total knee replacement...
This case report presents the unique clinical history of a 26-year-old male patient who experienced a posterior tibial tendon (PTT) rupture following the Kidner procedure for a symptomatic accessory navicular bone. The subsequent reconstruction utili...
Background: This study aimed to investigate the safety and reliability of using bioabsorbable screws for the fixation of chevron osteotomy in the treatment of hallux valgus (HV) deformity. Methods: Clinical cases of chevron osteotomy in the treatment...
A 34-year-old male with no significant past medical history presented for evaluation of a 15-year, growing, 8-mm, red eroded nodule with collarette of scale on his left fifth toe that appeared after a distant history of trauma. On initial examination...
Background: Regular evaluation of foot posture should be performed to determine whether foot-level interventions are necessary because changes in foot posture may contribute to lower-limb overuse injuries. This pilot study aims to test the level of p...
Background: This retrospective study aimed to describe the decompression of the tarsal tunnel and porta pedis using a mini-incision and single-portal endoscopy. Methods: Thirty-one feet were evaluated and conservatively treated for tarsal tunnel synd...
Background: We aimed to investigate the intraobserver and interobserver validity of the Hepple classification used in talus osteochondral lesions. Methods: This study included 32 patients with osteochondral lesions in the talus after the exclusion cr...
Background: Biomechanical changes in individuals with pes planus may lead to unusual gait and increased muscle activity. This study aimed to investigate and compare walking oxygen consumption in individuals with pes planus and control participants. M...
Müller-Weiss disease is a rare condition of osteonecrosis of the lateral navicular with dorsal midfoot pain. The predominant treatment discussed in the literature is surgery. This report focuses on a single case using conservative treatment, includin...
Background: The incidence of neuropathic pedal ulceration is on the rise, especially as rates of type 2 diabetes continue to increase. Currently, there is limited research into the laterality for the development of lower-extremity neuropathic ulcerat...
Osteoid osteoma is a benign tumor of the bone, which tends to occur in diaphysis or metaphysis of the long bones. The lesion is generally intraosseous with vague clinical symptoms, hence given the name great mimicker. When located subperiosteally and...
Brachymetatarsia is characterized by the parabola formed through the articulation of the metatarsophalangeal joints of the toes. It is defined as the termination of one or more metatarsals at least 5 mm proximal to this parabola, most commonly affect...
Equinus deformity secondary to hemangioma of the calf in children can be difficult to treat. Several modes of treatment may be considered, such as radiotherapy, electrocoagulation, surgery, cryosurgery, carbon dioxide snow, silver nitrate, and sclero...
Background: Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) can be divided into distal and proximal components. The latter is referred to as high TTS (HTTS) in which the tibial nerve is compressed above the location of the laciniate ligament. Although diagnosis of TTS...
