Foot Ankle Int. 2004 Apr;25(4):225-230 Kopp FJ, Banks MA, Marcus RE ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Tibiotalar arthrodesis remains the gold standard reconstructive procedure for the treatment of disabling ankle arthritis. The purpose of this study was to review the clinical results of tibiotalar arthrodesis utilizing the chevron fusion technique. METHODS: The results of … Read more
Foot Ankle Int. 2000 Jul;21(7):546-550 Wood PLR, Clough TM, Jari S ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: We compared the outcome of the cemented Thompson Parkridge Richards (TPR) ankle prosthesis with that of the cementless Scandinavian Total Ankle Replacement (STAR) ankle prosthesis in a demographically similar group of patients. METHODS: These were 14 consecutive arthroplasties in … Read more
– Discussion: – this is probably an under rated procedure in terms of its indications; – surgical indications: – hallux valgus + 2nd toe amputation: – great toe is stabilized in part by the presence of 2nd toe; – when it is absent, a hallux valgus valgus deformity is best treated by arthrodesis of first … Read more
– Bony Impingement: – pts who have persistent pain in anterior aspect of ankle & who have anterior tibiotalar spur evident on a lateral roentgenogram need additional diagnostic evaluation and management; – extreme dorsiflexion required by the demiplie position in ballet can lead to impingement of anterior lip of … Read more
Discussion pathoanatomy: fibular collateral ligament is made up of three separate structures; these are not as strong as medial ligaments, since lateral support of ankle is also provide by the fibula; anterior talofibular ligament calcaneofibular ligament posterior talofibular Ligaments cervical ligaments: ref: Elongation behavior of calcaneofibular and cervical ligaments during inversion loads applied in an … Read more

Discussion (see also: role of ankle and subtalar joint in gait) normally, during the transition from foot flat to heel off, the foot dorsiflexes as the body moves forward; gait consequences of equinus contracture: patient may adopt a toe to toe gait pattern or a toe to heel gait pattern (premature forefoot loading) reduced propulsion … Read more
(see also: Sub-Talar Fusion, Tibial-Talar-Calcaneal Fusion Discussion and Outcomes: optimal position for fusion see gait and role of ankle joint in gait ref: Ankle arthrodesis. Long-term follow-up with gait analysis. Exam: perform an Allen test for the foot vasculature; note function of posterior tibial pulse while the dorsalis pedis pulse is occluded and vice versa; … Read more
Foot Ankle Int. 2007 Aug;28(8):865-872 Mologne TS, Ferkel RD ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Osteochondral lesions of the tibia are much less frequent than those of the talus, and treatment guidelines have not been established. We hypothesized that arthroscopic treatment methods used for osteochondral lesion of the talus would also be effective for those of … Read more
