Background: Arch-height estimation though practiced usually in supine posture; is neither correct nor scientific as referred in literature, which favour for standing x-rays or archindex as yardstick. In fact the standing x-rays can be excused for being troublesome in busy OPD, but an ink-footprint on simple graph-sheet can be documented, as it is easier, cheaper and requires almost no machineri...

Navicular bone and cuneiform were infrequent locations of tarsal tuberculosis. The present study reported an unusual case of navicular and cuneiform tuberculosis who was successfully treated with Streptomycin-loaded bone cement. A 71-year-old Chinese male patient was admitted to our hospital with complaints of swelling and pain at the dorsal aspect of the right foot for 6 months. The patient pr...

Abstract The accessory navicular (AN) is a bony formation located on the medial side of foot, proximal to and continuous with posterior tibialis tendon. It emerges as developmental variant due presence secondary ossification center adjacent primary navicular. regarded physiological anatomical variant. In most instances, this an incidental finding. Radiographic values are used define three types...

INTRODUCTION Foreign body injuries with date thorns, metal and wooden splinters are common in Middle East region, as most of it is desert. Some of the injuries lead to cellulitis or abscess formation, if neglected or improperly managed results in osteomyelitis or septic arthritis of foot structures. This is the first report of isolated navicular osteomyelitis following neglected foreign body in...

EQUINUS CONTRACTURE at the ankle because of a gastro-soleus contracture. b. Initial contact: mid foot or forefoot c. Collapse of the medial arch: i. Talus is in equinus, talo-navicular joint is subluxed ii. Os Ca...

BACKGROUND Understanding the biomechanics of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) may provide insights into injury risk and prevention, as well as function of the arch-supporting structures. Our understanding of MLA deformation is currently limited to sit-to-stand, walking, and running. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three-dimensional deformation of the MLA of the right foot was characterized in 17 healt...
