Category: Hindfoot Introduction/Purpose: Objective: To evaluate and quantify the loss of ankle mobility in patients undergoing subtalar arthrodesis compared to the contralateral side, through physical examination. Methods: A total of 12 patients who had only the subtalar arthrodesis procedure from various causes in one foot were selected. The same ...

Category: Hindfoot; Other Introduction/Purpose: The flat-top talar dome is a well-known potential consequence of both operative and non-operative clubfoot management. While it is assumed that patients with a flat-top talus will have greater problems with daily activity, the functional impact of this deformity has not been characterized in the liter...

Category: Basic Sciences/Biologics; Ankle; Hindfoot; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Decreased tibiotalar joint contact area (CA) and increased peak pressure (PP) following rotational ankle fractures may predispose the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Previous studies have highlighted the effects of lateral talar translation on tibiotalar...

Diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCT) are more likely to occur in the hindfoot and tend to recur after surgical excision. We performed a pooled analysis of hindfoot TGCT cases to identify factors associated with local recurrence and functional outcomes. We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 33 patients diagnosed with TGCT (15, loca...

The absence of a standardized method for defining hindfoot bone coordinate systems makes it difficult to compare kinematics results from different research studies. The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable and robust procedure for defining anatomical coordinate systems for the talus and calcaneus. Four methods were evaluated based upon t...

It is now well accepted that diabetic patients with clinically and radiographically nonplantigrade Charcot foot arthropathy are best managed with correction of the acquired deformity. Several investigations have demonstrated a high probability for a favorable clinical outcome when the deformity is in the midfoot. Unstable deformity at the subtalar ...
