The purpose of this retrospective case series was to evaluate clinical outcomes following both conservative treatment and arthroscopic bone marrow stimulation (BMS) for the management of symptomatic s...
All symptomatic subtalar OCLs with a minimum of 12 months follow-up having undergone either a conservative management or arthroscopic procedure were included. Patient-reported outcomes were collected ...
All patients underwent conservative treatment first; in addition, 9 patients underwent subtalar arthroscopic debridement with or without BMS. The median follow-up time was 15 months (IQR: 14-100). In ...
This retrospective case series demonstrated that a high number of patients converted to surgery after initial conservative treatment. In addition, debridement and BMS show good clinical outcomes for t...
In recent years, the involvement of the compensation ability of the subtalar joint in lower extremity alignment has been reported. We previously showed that hindfoot alignment angle (HAA) is an indica...
Seventy-two knees of 72 patients aged ≥40 years with varus knee were included in this study. Preoperative radiographs were used for measurement of this study parameters. Based on our previous study, w...
The weight-bearing hindfoot angle (WBHA) (p < 0.001) and non-weight-bearing hindfoot angle (non-WBHA) (p = 0.003), were significantly greater in the A-group than in the N-group. Conversely, the ratio ...
The pathophysiology of abnormal compensation ability of the subtalar joint in the varus knee is thought to involve a state of increased valgus of hindfoot alignment and an inability to move into norma...
Level Ⅲ, retrospective study....
Although hindfoot arthrodeses relieve pain and correct deformity, they have been associated with progressive tibiotalar degeneration. The objective was to quantify changes in tibiotalar kinematics aft...
Hindfoot arthrodeses were performed in 14 cadaveric mid-tibia specimens. Specimens randomly received isolated fixation of the subtalar or talonavicular joint first, followed by fixation of the remaini...
Isolated and double hindfoot arthrodeses increased tibiotalar plantarflexion, inversion, and internal rotation during late stance. Tibiotalar kinematics changes occurring after isolated arthrodesis re...
Tibiotalar kinematics were modestly altered for all conditions, both isolated and double hindfoot arthrodeses. Changes in tibiotalar kinematics were consistent from the isolated to the double arthrode...
These findings may correlate with clinical research that has cited hindfoot arthrodesis as a risk factor for adjacent tibiotalar arthritis. Once either the subtalar or talonavicular joint is fused, av...
The etiology of flatfoot and cavus foot is multicausal and controversial. So far, no literature reports the relationship between the sagittal morphology of subtalar joint and the alignment of foot. Th...
From January 2017 to January 2020, we included 109 feet in the flatfoot group, 95 feet in the cavus group, and 104 feet in the control group in this retrospective comparative study. The Gissane angle ...
The Gissane angle, calcaneal posterior articular surface inclination angle, Meary's angle, talar pitch angle, and calcaneal pitch angle were significantly different in the three groups. The Gissane an...
A subtalar joint with a larger Gissane angle and a more horizontal calcaneal posterior articular surface angle tended to have a higher foot arch and vice versa. The inspiration from this study was tha...
The aim of this study was to assess the biomechanical effects of subtalar ligament injury and reconstruction on stability of the subtalar joint in all three spatial planes....
Fifteen fresh frozen cadaveric legs were used, with transfixed tibiotalar joints to isolate motion to the subtalar joint. An arthrometer fixed to the lateral aspect of the calcaneus measured angular d...
Sectioning the ITCL significantly increased angular displacement upon inversion and eversion in the coronal and sagittal planes. Reconstruction of the ITCL significantly improved angular stability aga...
Progressive injury of ligamentous stabilisers, particularly the ITCL, led to increasing angular displacement of the subtalar joint measured with the inversion and eversion stress tests, used in clinic...
Posttraumatic osteoarthritis may lead to surgical fusion of the ankle joint if non-surgical therapy fails. The indication for a fusion of the joint is based on the pain and disability of the patient, ...
In the United States, rates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection have been declining for decades. Osteoarticular tuberculosis of the ankle is rarely observed. We present the case of a 65-year-old m...
Landing from heights is a common movement for active-duty military personnel during training. And the additional load they carry while performing these tasks can affect the kinetics and ankle kinemati...
Fourteen healthy male participants were recruited. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed on the right ankle of each participant to create three-dimensional (3D) models of the talus, tibia, and calc...
During added trunk loading condition, the medial-lateral translation range of motion (ROM) at the talocrural joint significantly increased (p < 0.05). The subtalar joint showed more extension at 44-56...
With the added trunk load, there is a significant increase in peak vGRF during landing. The medial-lateral translation ROM of the talocrural joint increases. And the kinematics of the subtalar joint a...
It has been difficult to study the effects of arch support on multiple joints simultaneously. Herein, we evaluated foot and ankle kinematics using a fully automated analysis system, "4D-Foot," consist...
We evaluated the effect of arch support on ankle, subtalar, and talonavicular joint kinematics in five healthy female volunteers without a clinical history of foot and ankle disorders. Computed tomogr...
For the ankle joint, significant differences were observed in dorsi/plantarflexion, inversion/eversion, and internal/external rotation in the late midstance phase. The dorsi/plantarflexion and inversi...
The results indicated that the arch support decreased the ankle motion and increased the subtalar and talonavicular joint motions. Additionally, our study demonstrated that the in vivo subtalar and ta...
Traditionally, two-dimensional conventional radiographs have been the primary tool to measure the complex morphology of the foot and ankle. However, the subtalar, talonavicular, and calcaneocuboid joi...
