In (lescribing certain fractures of the fibula, sustained without violence, the writer (Burro ,s’s I 940) expressed the hope that further cases would be published so that something COU1(l be learnt of these uncommon fractures. Additional cases have now been described. The writer has encountered five other personal cases, and scrutiny of the literature has revealed at least one pre ’i us case (D...

Titanosauria is an exceptionally diverse, globally-distributed clade of sauropod dinosaurs that includes the largest known land animals. Knowledge of titanosaurian pedal structure is critical to understanding the stance and locomotion of these enormous herbivores and, by extension, gigantic terrestrial vertebrates as a whole. However, completely preserved pedes are extremely rare among Titanosa...

Hiking trails have been growing in popularity in the health and well-being promotion. Consequently, the foot became an object of study in order to understand the discomfort and pain in the lower limb. The aims of the work were: 1) to detect tendencies for behaviour of maximum values of plantar pressure (MaxP) during the walk on different slopes, 2) to contribute to the methodology of the diffic...

We treated 37 infants with 53 idiopathic club feet by posterolateral release alone at a mean age of 2.4 months. They were reviewed after a mean follow-up of 10 years 7 months. Both function and appearance were studied. Seventeen feet had required further surgery, at an average of four years after posterolateral release. In all cases hindfoot equinus had been well corrected; the mean ankle dorsi...

Reports of corrective procedures for cubitus varus (gunstock deformity) have emphasized the frequency of loss of position and significant complication. Modifications that have been made to the standard supracondylar osteotomy protocol include correction of the angular deformity only, without correction of rotation; an incomplete wedge osteotomy leaving the medial cortex intact by hinging the os...

Tripple deformity of elbow in association with cubitus varus can be treated by dome osteotomy. In this study we assess the strength of fixation after a dome osteotomy for cubitus varus associated with triple deformity in terms of union and complications. We conclude with this study that dome osteotomy has its own advantages in correcting the deformity for cosmesis and also by not leaving the pr...
