Adequate assessment of crush injuries to the hallux is necessary before appropriate management can be initiated. When distal phalangeal fractures of the hallux are detected by routine radiography and subungual hematomas are present, open fractures of the hallux may be overlooked if the physician does not routinely avulse the nailplate. The authors review current modalities for the detection and evaluation of these injuries and present a protocol for treatment. Full article

Osteoarthropathy Versus Osteomyelitis. Does Magnetic Resonance Imaging Help?

by Keith A. Naftulin, Paul A. Stone and John J. McGarry

Abstract

Osteomyelitis and osteoarthropathy may appear clinically and radiographically similar. Many retrospective and some prospective studies have shown that magnetic resonance imaging provides valuable information about the pathologic basis of disease, specifically in the differentiation of osteomyelitis from osteoarthropathy. Although culture and biopsy of [...] Read more.

Osteomyelitis and osteoarthropathy may appear clinically and radiographically similar. Many retrospective and some prospective studies have shown that magnetic resonance imaging provides valuable information about the pathologic basis of disease, specifically in the differentiation of osteomyelitis from osteoarthropathy. Although culture and biopsy of bone are the definitive diagnostic procedure, this may not always be possible. Magnetic resonance imaging can be used as an adjunct to help plan treatment protocols.

The authors describe the anatomical necessity and functional significance of torsion of the tendon of tibialis posterior. A wooden model of the right lower extremity has been constructed which includes representations of the ankle, subtalar, and oblique midtarsal joints. The model is used to show that the presence of torsion within the tendon of tibialis posterior eliminates the need for any longitudinal slippage between individual tendon fibers during triplane movement of the joints of the lower extremity.

The longitudinal epiphyseal bracket is a rare ossification defect of bones of the hands and feet and results in an abnormal epiphysis that is C-shaped, longitudinally oriented, and vertically extends into the diaphysis. The longitudinal epiphyseal bracket may exist as an isolated deformity, but is commonly associated with digital deformities such as polydactyly, duplicated digits, congenital hallux varus, and clinodactyly. Five case histories of children with the longitudinal epiphyseal bracket in different bones of the foot are described with three distinct clinical presentations. The development of the longitudinal epiphyseal bracket and implications for treatment are considered. Full article
