The Effect of Fibular Osteotomy on Talus Position in Supramalleolar Osteotomy

Arthrodiastasis, Supramalleolar Osteotomy, or Arthrodesis?

A Critical Review of Proximal Fibular Osteotomy for Knee Osteoarthritis

The surgical management of Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), so far, mainly revolved around arthroscopic procedures,arthroplasty (total: TKA and unicompartmental: UKA) or high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Recently, another minimallyinvasive surgical treatment of proximal fibular osteotomy (PFO) has been proposed for the management of KOA. ThePFO has been found to be useful in the manageme...

The role of fibular for supramalleolar osteotomy in treatment of varus ankle arthritis: a biomechanical and clinical study

BACKGROUND Supramalleolar osteotomy (SMOT) is a well-accepted treatment method for mid-stage varus ankle osteoarthritis (OA). However, few studies have examined the role of fibular osteotomy in SMOT. The objective of the current study was to compare the biomechanical and clinical outcomes of SMOT with and without fibular osteotomy. METHODS Eight cadaveric lower legs with 10° varus/valgus SMOT...

Ankle joint pressure changes in a pes cavovarus model: supramalleolar valgus osteotomy versus lateralizing calcaneal osteotomy.

BACKGROUND A fixed cavovarus foot deformity can be associated with anteromedial ankle arthrosis due to elevated medial joint contact stresses. Supramalleolar valgus osteotomies (SMOT) and lateralizing calcaneal osteotomies (LCOT) are commonly used to treat symptoms by redistributing joint contact forces. In a cavovarus model, the effects of SMOT and LCOT on the lateralization of the center of f...

The multiplanar effect of first metatarsal osteotomy on sesamoid position.

The standard classification system used to measure the sesamoids in the evaluation of hallux abductovalgus is a uniplanar description of a multiplanar deformity. Additionally, it cannot accurately describe a true measure of sesamoid positional change in the perioperative period because the first metatarsal is laterally transposed during corrective surgery. The intended emphasis of this investig...
