Background: Masquelet technique involves two stages for reconstruction of bony defects. During stage one decontamination and debridement is performed. The bone defect filled by a spacer made cement. After gap around 6 weeks, bio-membrane established the cement spacer. two, removed cancellous autologous graft used to fill space that was previously occupied However, there huge scarcity literature...

A total of 142 metatarsal bones of unknown age and sex were examined for the length of the bone and number & position of the nutrient foramen. Study also included the direction of nutrient foramina and it’s distances from both the ends . It was observed that almost all the Metatarsals had one nutrient foramen in the middle third of their shaft In 5 th Metatarsals majority of foramina were situa...

Chondromyxoid fibroma is an uncommon benign cartilaginous tumor accounting for less than 1% of all bone tumors. The classic site of involvement is the metaphyseal region of long tubular bones, usually presenting in the second to third decades of life with nonspecific pain and swelling of the affected part. This case is an interesting incidental finding in a juvenile hallux abductovalgus deformi...

Osteotomy of the neck of the first metatarsal bone has been practised for many years in the treatment of hallux valgus. Although various techniques have been described (Hohmann 1948 ; Mitchell, Fleming, Allen, Glenney and Sanford 1958), we are aware of only one detailed report of results (Mitchell et a!. 1958). This paper presents the results of osteotomy in eighty-two feet, and attempts to def...

OBJECTIVES Lameness after metacarpal and metatarsal fractures in dogs is reported to occur with an incidence of 18% to 70%. On the basis of long-term results, the prognosis of these injuries was re-evaluated retrospectively. METHODS Medical records of 100 dogs with complete clinical and radiographic follow-up examinations after an average of four years (4 months - 14 years) were evaluated. Ac...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the anatomical location of erosions at the MTP joints in patients with RA using high-resolution 3T MRI. METHODS In 24 patients with RA, the more symptomatic forefoot was imaged using 3T MRI. T1-weighted, intermediate-weighted and T2-weighted fat-suppressed sequences were acquired through the MTP joints, together with three-dimensional volumetric...

Introduction Symptomatic hallux valgus is a common clinical problem. Current trends for treatment are toward percutaneous or mini-invasive procedures, among these a mini-invasive distal metatarsal osteotomy (SERI) demonstrated to be effective in correcting the deformity with minimal surgical trauma and satisfactory results [1]. Conflicting with previous clinical studies, a recent paper [2] repo...
