Comparison of biomechanical foot analyses between nine Flemish foot-experts

Introduction Treatment or prevention of specific foot problems often requires an analysis of the biomechanics of the foot. These analyses can be performed by different experts. Specifically, in Flanders, they may be performed by medical doctors in orthopaedics and rehabilitation, orthopaedic technologists, or podiatrists. It is well known that there is no standardization yet of clinical methods...

Principles of Foot Deformity Correction: Ilizarov Technique

The Ilizarov technique lends itself well to correction of foot deformities because of the three-dimensional nature of the foot and of the apparatus. The two approaches to the correction of foot deformities are (1) soft tissue distraction of the deformity and (2) distraction of an osteotomy. In the former, the deformity is corrected by eliminating pre-existing contractures and by distracting acr...

Relationship between foot type, foot deformity, and ulcer occurrence in the high-risk diabetic foot.

We hypothesized an association between foot type, foot deformity, and foot ulceration and conducted an analysis of a well-characterized, high-risk diabetic population of 398 subjects. The average age was 62 years of age and 74% of the study population were males. Foot-type distributions were 19.5% pes cavus (high arch), 51.5% neutrally aligned (normal arch), and 29.0% pes planus (low arch). We ...

Reconstruction of Mirror Foot with Dysplastic Tibia

INTRODUCTION The Mirror foot is a rare congenital anomaly associated with duplication of the structures of the foot. Verghese et al have classified these feet into three types. Type three is associated with a Dysplastic tibia of which only 5 have been reported. Surgical management has been reported in only two of these five cases which are in the form of amputation. CASE REPORT We would like ...
