developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) and flatfoot are common pediatric orthopedic disorders, being referred to and managed by both general and pediatric orthopedic surgeons, through various modalities. our study aimed to evaluate their consensus and perspective disagreements in terms of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches of the mentioned deformities. forty participants in two groups of g...

INTRODUCTION Spontaneous osteonecrosis of the navicular bone in adults is a rare entity, known as Müller-Weiss syndrome. We report here on our experience with six patients with Müller-Weiss syndrome accompanied by flatfoot deformity, but on a literature search found no reports on this phenomenon. Because the natural history and treatment are controversial, an understanding of how to manage this...

Patients with ulnar mononeuropathy survive with flatfoot or drop foot resulting from weakness of the ankle dorsiflexiors. This proposed device attempts to detect the mono channel involuntary eye blink with use of neurosky mind wave device. This signal also using for control to resume patients independent-walking ability by stimulating the peroneal nerve by triggering an FES.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the rotation and translation of each joint in the hindfoot and compare the load response in healthy feet with that in stage II posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) flatfoot by analysing the reconstructive three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) image data during simulated weight-bearing. METHODS CT scans of 15 healthy feet an...

BACKGROUND Triple arthrodesis through a two-incision approach is the traditional surgical treatment of fixed flatfoot in adults. However, since it limits motion and forces the remaining joints to absorb more load, long-term studies report diminishing results over time from symptomatic breakdown of adjacent joints. In addition, wound-healing problems have been reported in up one-third of patient...

[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of proprietary foot orthotics in young adults with flatfoot to determine changes in the ankle joint angle in the coronal plane during the midstance phase. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 15 college students diagnosed with flatfoot. Changes in the ankle joint angle in the coronal plane in the midstance phase were measured using the Vicon Mot...

Background: Adult acquired flatfoot deformity is generally mediated with an Evans procedure where a wedge of bone is placed into the calcaneus to better align the foot and decrease the deformity. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of human amniotic allograft applied to allogeneic tri-cortical grafts in Evans calcaneal osteotomy. Methods: The medical records of patie...

Identifying decompensation of idiopathic flexible flatfoot can be difficult due to varying levels expression and the complexity condition, making patient selection for surgical treatment a challenge. This case report presents long-term follow- up an Evans operation performed painful in adolescence, discusses probable mechanism behind loss correction.
