Extra-Articular Calcaneo-Tibial Schanz Pin Stabilization for Acute Ankle Trauma

Reduction strategies through the anterolateral exposure for fixation of type B and C pilon fractures.

The surgical management of pilon fractures has evolved over the last several years with treatment shifting from acute definitive fixation to delayed fixation. One of the driving forces behind this change was the high incidence of soft tissue complications in those patients with high-energy pilon fractures (Orthopaedic Trauma Association 43B and 43C) managed with acute stabilization. Meticulous ...

TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY IN PATIENT WITH TIBIAL EXTRA ARTICULAR STRESS FRACTURE

Intra-Articular Osteotomies of the Hip, Knee, and Ankle

Realignment of the hip knee and ankle can be achieved by extra-articular osteotomy if there is no intra-articular deformity or incongruity. Intra-articular osteotomy of the femoral head, femoral condyles, tibial plateaus and tibial plafond can all be achieved technically and biologically and lead to a congruous joint. This is a new frontier for realignment surgery extending the indications for ...

Effect of extra-osseous talotarsal stabilization on posterior tibial tendon strain in hyperpronating feet.

Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is considered one of the most common causes of progressive adult acquired flatfoot deformity. The etiology leading to the dysfunction of posterior tibial tendon remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to quantify strain on the posterior tibial tendon in cadaver feet exhibiting hyperpronation caused by flexible instability of the talotarsal joint ...
