Arthrodesis with Intramedular Fixation in Posttraumatic Arthrosis of the Midfoot: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present two middle-aged men with posttraumatic arthrosis of the midfoot. Both patients suffered from severe pain and their foot was unable to bear weight. Both were operated using new fusion bolt 6.5 mm and additional screws. In their case, arthrodesis was mandatory and effective intervention. After surgical treatment both patients were pain free and able to walk without crutches and return to daily work.

Limb salvage talectomy for 3C Gustilo–Anderson fracture
Foot fractures vary in severity with complex midfoot fractures having poor morbidity rates and high amputation rates. Complex midfoot fractures are rarely reported since they are uncommon and only treated in specialist centres. Given the important role of the midfoot in foot function, reconstruction is preferable. Soft tissue management on the dorsal aspect of the foot poses further challenges ...

We present a 22-year-old man with dislocation of both the calcaneocuboid and cuneonavicular joints and fractures of the calcaneum and navicular of the right foot. The joints were reduced with percutaneous Kirschner wires, but the disrupted dorsal cuneonavicular ligaments were left unrepaired. Reduction was suboptimal and the joints were subluxed resulting in disabling arthralgia. Six months lat...

Background: There is still controversy regarding the best technique for ankle arthrodesis to acheive stable rigid fixation along with reconstructing a functional plantigrade foot. Moreover, existing techniques have complictions related to stability, soft tissue covering, fusion rate, and exposure. Methods: With the anterior approach exactly on the tibialis anterior sheath, the joint was expose...

particularly in patients for whom instability and the potential for nonunion are increased (e.g., in those with neuropathy. There are current fixation options such as custom anatomically designed midfoot plates which provide stability as well as locking and compression capacity (Maxlock, Orthohelix, Akron OH, and DePuy, Warsaw IN). A novel alternative for fixation is using an intramedullary sys...

Background:Locking plate fixation is increasingly used for first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP-I) arthrodesis. Still there is few comparable clinical data regarding this procedure. Methods:We retrospectively evaluated 60 patients who received an arthrodesis of the MTP-I between January 2008 and June 2010. With 20 patients each we performed a locking plate fixation with lag screw, arthrodesis w...
