Tear of the peroneal tendon may occur in different anatomical sites. The most prevalent site is around the lateral malleolus. Tear of the peroneus longus at the level of the peroneal tubercle is unusual. Anatomically, the lateral surface of the calcaneous can be divided into thirds. The middle third includes the peroneal tubercle, which separates the peroneus longus tendon from the peroneus bre...

Treatment of the posterior malleolus has been debated among orthopedic surgeons. Most orthopedic surgeons will fix the posterior malleolus if it is larger than 25% to 30% of the distal articular surface. The most common method of fixation of the posterior malleolus is by indirect reduction and anteroposterior screws. In the present study, we describe the technique and results of treatment of th...

The paper describes the technique and application of a tricortical bone graft harvesting from lateral malleolus. Graft does not interfere with continuity fibula. Due to its structure, is equivalent similarly structured taken iliac crest. used in osteotomies arthrodesis within foot ankle joint, which require strong piece as wedge. author typically uses this type for osteotomy anterior part calca...

The front row of a rugby union scrum consists of three players. The loose head prop, hooker and tight head prop. The objective of this study was to determine if known biomechanical risk factors for triceps surae muscle injury are exhibited in the lower limb of front row players during contested scrummaging. Eleven high performance front row rugby union players were landmarked bilaterally at the...
