Purpose Previous reports have demonstrated diminished size of the hindfoot bones in patients with idiopathic clubfoot deformity. However, no study has quantified the percentage of hypoplasia as a function of early growth, during the brace phase of Ponseti treatment. Methods We measured the dimensions of ossified structures on radiographs in patients with unilateral Ponseti-treated clubfeet to...

Needle arthroscopy has enjoyed a tremendous growth concerning the quality of intraoperative images due to technical innovation, resulting in innovative possibilities concomitant minimally invasive procedures and treatment osteochondral lesions talus (OLT). These have increasingly been receiving scientific attention orthopaedic (sports) medicine field, and, as such, evidence-based for them devel...

Sex estimation is an important aspect of skeletal identification. In addition, previous studies have found that the sex each race different. Thus, it necessary to develop discriminant function equations for Thai population. This study aims investigate relationship between width, length and height calcaneus talus with regards compare effectiveness alone, both talus. A total 200 individuals (100 ...

The weight of the body is transmitted to foot through subtalar joint and talus. Considering important location talus calcaneus, morphological structures these bones may affect biomechanics joint. At same time, structure in some common deformities. We aimed investigate whether various measurements calcaneus are associated with different deformities this study. In study, radiography images 158 (7...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility of Hawkins' classification for fractures of the neck of the talus. METHODS 20 random cases of fracture of the talus were selected, to be defined according to the classification of types by eight orthopedic surgeons, 13 orthopedic residents and 15 radiology residents. RESULTS Using the statistical test of Landis and Ko...

The case is presented of a 27 year old woman with lateral ankle pain after an inversion injury sustained while dancing. Although initial radiographs failed to identify the fracture, radiographs of the ankle at six weeks showed an unsuspected fracture of the lateral process of the talus. The fracture was treated with cast immobilisation for six weeks and the patient is currently undergoing aggre...

Osteochondral lesions of the talus can present as a late complication of ankle injuries. As the talus is largely covered by articular cartilage, it has a limited ability for repair. Early and accurate diagnosis is important as talar integrity is required for optimal function of the ankle. The common presentation is chronic ankle pain with a history of ankle trauma. Conservative treatment involv...

an investigation was carried out on a young unrelated couple, both 29 years old, with two boys and three girls, 3 months to 8 years old. one boy and the mother were healthy, the other four children and the father were affected. the family, originally from the district of nour, in northern iran, near the caspian sea, was first counseled at the genetic clinic in tehran in 1984. several trips were...

Primary subacute haematogenous osteomyelitis (PSHO) of the small bones of the foot is a rare and infrequently considered cause of a limp in children. We describe 11 patients with PSHO, of whom nine were under three years of age, who had a limp with few symptoms. The talus was involved in 36%. Bone scans were positive in all patients and led to localisation of the lesion in two. The radiological...

Giant cell tumor of talus is a rare entity. In contrast to GCT of long bones, most cases occur in a younger age group and tend to be multicentric. The authors report a case of GCT in a 19 year old boy which had led to extensive destruction of the talus. In view of the extensive involvement, total talectomy along with tibio - calcaneal arthrodesis was performed. At 6 months of followup, the pati...
