The aetiology and form of hallux valgus (HV) is varied with many corrective procedures described. We report a 39-year-old woman, previously treated with a Chevron osteotomy, who presented with recurrent right HV, metatarsus primus varus, and associated bunion. Osteotomies were performed at two levels as a revisional procedure. This report highlights (1) limitations of the Chevron osteotomy and ...

Chronic inflammatory disease of bones and joints (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, gout, etc.), but also acute bone injury healing, or degenerative resorptive processes inducing osteoporosis, are associated with structural remodeling that ultimately have impact on function. For instance, stability is predominantly orchestrated by the arrangement extracellular matrix fibrillar networks, i.e., collage...

Abstract This study describes a corrective procedure for metatarsal angular malformation using wedge ostectomy in 41-day-old Thoroughbred filly. A 41.6 °angular of the metatarsus was corrected with left hindlimb association type II external fixator and methyl methacrylate resin. The animal subjected to surgical under general anesthesia. filly placed dorsal recumbency hind limb free manipulation...

BACKGROUND Multiple reports are found in the literature about the surgical treatment of hallux valgus deformities. Few, however, are prospective outcome studies. The purpose of this study was to prospectively look at the functional outcome of patients with moderate and severe hallux valgus deformities (intermetatarsal angle of more than 14 degrees and a hallux valgus angle of more than 30 degre...

Injuries of the distal extremities in dogs and cats frequently involve significant skin disruption/de-gloving or deficits and sometimes significant soft tissue loss. Salvage is dependent on ability to retain weight-bearing capability with functional pad tissue, appropriate neuro-vascular supply and adequate digital and meta-carpal or meta-tarsal bone stock for transfer of ground reaction forces...

The dinosaur track record features numerous examples of trackways with elongated metatarsal marks. Such ‘elongate tracks’ are often highly variable and characterized by indistinct outlines abbreviated or missing digit impressions. Elongate tracks well-known from the Paluxy River bed Texas, where some have been interpreted as ‘man creationists due to their superficially human-like appearance. ho...

Tissue engineering has recently gained popularity as an alternative to autografts stimulate bone tissue regeneration through structures called scaffolds. Most of the in vivo experiments on long-bony defects use internally-stabilized generic Despite wide variety computational methods, a standardized protocol is required optimize ceramic scaffolds for load-bearing bony stabilized with flexible fi...

This case report describes the surgical management of a severe congenital deformity in Shetland pony. A two-week-old foal was presented with right hind limb showing 90-degree torsion tarsal region towards medial side and metatarsophalangeal joint forced extension behind tarsus. As assessed through radiography, tibial malleoli trochlea talus were poorly developed, flexor tendons inserted topogra...
