Various surgical techniques have been reported in treating calcaneal malunions over the decades, while the operations on single plane were accompanied by respective limitations. The purpose of this st...
From March 12, 2010, to August 17, 2017, 10 patients (10 feet) with malunited calcaneal fractures were treated with multiple reconstructive osteotomy with subtalar joint-preserving operations. All pat...
All patients were subjectively satisfied with the treatment. The average time to union was 12.2 ± 1.11 weeks. The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle (AOFAS) ankle and hind foot score was 86.3 ± 4.45 (...
Multiple reconstructive osteotomy is an effective way to restore the calcaneal morphology and preserve the subtalar joint for selected calcaneal malunion....
This study focuses on the assessment of the mechanical effect produced by Morton's extension as an orthopedic intervention in patients with bilateral foot pronation posture, through a variation in hin...
Varus ankle osteoarthritis (OA) is typically associated with peritalar instability, which may result in altered subtalar joint position. This study aimed to determine the extent to which total ankle r...
Fourteen patients (15 ankles, mean age 61 ± 6 years) who underwent TAR for varus ankle OA were analyzed using semi-automated measurements based on weight-bearing computed tomography. Twenty healthy in...
All angles improved between preoperative and a minimum of 1 year (mean 2.1 years) postoperative and were statistically significant in 6 out of 8 angles (P < 0.05)....
Our findings indicate that talus repositioning after TAR restores the subtalar joint alignment which may improve hindfoot biomechanics. Future studies are required to implement these findings for TAR ...

Subtalar joint arthrodesis is a commonly used procedure for numerous pathologic conditions in the foot and ankle. Although rarely performed in isolation, this procedure can provide successful resoluti...
This study aimed to determine the clinical effect of incongruent subtalar joint space on total ankle arthroplasty (TAA)....
Thirty-four consecutive patients who underwent TAA were grouped according to the status of subtalar joint incongruency. A comparison of clinical and radiographic parameters between groups as well as m...
The final American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score was significantly higher in the congruent group compared to that of the incongruent group (p = 0.007). There were no significant dif...
A thorough preoperative investigation should be taken into the state of the subtalar joint for TAA....
A comprehensive insight into the effects of subtalar- and mid-tarsal joint osteoarthritis on lower limb's biomechanical characteristics during walking is lacking. Our goal was to assess joint kinemati...
Patients with symptomatic and radiographically confirmed osteoarthritis of the subtalar and mid-tarsal (n = 10) and an asymptomatic control group (n = 10) were compared. Foot joint kinematics and kine...
During pre-swing phase, the tibio-talar range of motion in the sagittal plane of the patient group decreased significantly (P = 0.001), whereas the tarso-metatarsal joint range of motion in the sagitt...
These findings suggest that patients with subtalar and mid-tarsal joint osteoarthritis adopt a cautious walking strategy potentially dictated by pain, muscle weakness, kinesiophobia and stiffness. Sin...
This study sought to determine whether range of motion (ROM) of the ankle and subtalar joint complex (STJ) is correlated with ankle injuries in National Basketball Association (NBA) G-league and colle...
This prospective cohort study encompassed 103 player-seasons (68 collegiate, 35 NBA G-League). Patient demographics, passive ankle and STJ range of motion measurements, anterior drawer, and talar tilt...
Twenty-one ankle injuries occurred with 10 405 player exposures yielding an incidence of 2.11/1000 exposures, resulting in 113 days of missed playing time. No direct measures of ankle, subtalar, or co...
Using the predictive subtalar mobility thresholds found in this study may help identify at-risk players that may benefit from targeted ankle injury prevention programs....
Level II, prospective cohort study....
It remains unclear whether to perform a bone graft is necessary during posterior arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis. The present research aimed to comparatively analyze the outcomes of arthroscopic sub...
A total of 93 patients with subtalar arthritis who underwent posterior arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis were retrospectively examined. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether t...
Among the 93 patients included, 53 received bone graft and 40 did not. The union rate and time to osseous fusion suggested no significant difference between the two groups. The improvement of clinical...
In the present study, bone graft could not effectively reduce the risk of nonunion and improve the outcome....
It has been suggested that subtalar and tibiofemoral kinematics are coupled, such that abnormal subtalar inversion during the impact and push-off portions of stance may affect tibial rotation, leading...
This study aimed to establish a low-risk zone to avoid neurovascular injury during a temporary extra-articular calcaneo-tibial pin fixation in an unstable ankle or subtalar joint. A line from the calc...
