Successful lesser toes and metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint reconstruction must withstand substantial biomechanical loads from standing, walking, and exercise. While complications following lesser toe ...
Although joint swelling is traditionally interpreted as synovitis, recent imaging studies showed that there is also inflammation of tenosynovium and intermetatarsal bursae in the forefoot. We aimed to...
171 ACPA-positive and 203 ACPA-negative consecutively diagnosed patients with RA had a physical joint examination (swollen joint count-66/tender joint count-68), filled a Health Assessment Questionnai...
While ACPA-negative RA patients had more swollen joints (mean SJC 8 vs 6 in ACPA-positives, p=0.003), the number of swollen MTP joints was similar (mean 1 in both groups); walking disabilities were al...
Although the forefoot of ACPA-positives and ACPA-negatives share clinical similarities at diagnosis, there are differences in underlying inflamed tissues. This reinforces that ACPA-positive and ACPA-n...
Using a curved carbon-fiber plate (CFP) in running shoes may offer notable performance benefit over flat plates, yet there is a lack of research exploring the influence of CFP geometry on internal foo...
The cavovarus foot is a complex 3-dimensional deformity. Although a multitude of techniques are described for its surgical management, few of these are evidence based or guided by classification syste...
We included 20 cavovarus feet from 16 adult patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth who underwent weightbearing CT (mean age 43.4 years, range: 22-78 years, 14 males). Patients included had flexible deformi...
We identified 4 types of cavovarus forefoot morphotypes. Type 0 was defined as a balanced forefoot (2 cases, 10%). Type 1 was defined as a forefoot where the first metatarsal was relatively plantarfle...
In this relatively small cohort, we identified 4 forefoot morphotypes in cavovarus feet that might help surgeons to recognize and anticipate the residual forefoot deformities after hindfoot correction...
Level IV, retrospective case series....
Radiography is the appropriate initial imaging modality to assess for midfoot and forefoot pathology before turning to advanced imaging techniques. While most lesions of the mid- and forefoot can be d...
Forefoot plantar ulcers in patients with diabetic neuropathy are considered to be primarily the result of increased shear forces applied over prominent plantar bony prominences. The purpose of this ar...
A consecutive 112 patients (146 feet), who presented to our Multidisciplinary Diabetic Foot Team clinics since February 2019 with plantar nonischemic forefoot ulcers were included in this study. Exclu...
Of 96 feet, none had infection or wound-related problems following TAL. Complete transection of the tendon was noted in 4 patients (4%) and heel callosity in 1 patient. In 92 feet (96%), the ulcers he...
TAL followed with a walking cast as an outpatient procedure was effective in healing forefoot ulcers in 96% of feet. Comparable to the widely practiced hand surgery Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tour...
Level IV, retrospective case series....
Osteomyelitis (OM) associated with diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) is a growing public health challenge worldwide. Since 2012 the number of patients presenting with DFU per year to our centre has doubl...
This study aims to evaluate outcomes from outpatient antibiotic therapy (OPAT) in the management of OM in DFU patients....
A retrospective analysis was performed of medical notes, radiology, and vascular laboratory reports for all DFU patients with OM treated from April 2016 to April 2020. Variables analyzed included age,...
185 patients were admitted with 264 infected digits (Male 223; Female 41). The mean age was 66 years. Only 168 (63.6%) were fully healed at 12 months. Of the 96 patients who failed to heal, 43 underwe...
Extended outpatient antibiotic therapy (with an inpatient multidisciplinary approach) is an effective treatment for digital OM in DFU with a success rate of 63%. In recurrence, repeating prolonged ant...
Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) technique has been widely used in hand surgery, but there are few prospective data on its use in forefoot surgery....
The WALANT technique reduces pain compared to general anesthesia for bone surgery on the first ray of forefoot....
This was a prospective, longitudinal, comparative, non-randomized cohort study in adult patients undergoing bone surgery on the first ray of forefoot. The primary objective was the level of pain (0-10...
A total 37 patients were analyzed in the WALANT group and 24 in the general anesthesia group (women, 90.2%; mean age, 51.3 years; hallux valgus, 85.2%; first metatarsal osteotomy, 80.3%). After genera...
Postoperative pain with WALANT technique or general anesthesia was comparable. Time spent in the operating room and in recovery room was significantly shorter with WALANT technique....
III; prospective non-randomized comparative study....
Since the early 2000s, minimally invasive forefoot surgery (MIS), particularly hallux valgus correction, has significantly advanced with the introduction of the Shannon burr. However, despite numerous...
Postoperative outcome measurement typically relies on postoperative radiological results and clinical-functional scales; however, there is a growing interest in considering patient satisfaction (inclu...
To determine whether showing a preoperative photograph improves satisfaction in postoperative forefoot surgery patients....
An observational, cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted in the Foot and Ankle Unit of our center. We included 120 participants between 18 and 90 years old who underwent forefoot surgery. The...
The overall satisfaction rate was 78.33% at 3 months after the intervention. The 93.6% of patients who received the photograph were satisfied at the postoperative follow-up, while in the control group...
The degree of satisfaction in patients undergoing forefoot surgery is not associated with the presentation of preoperative photographs....
