Congenital deficiency of part of distal ulna affecting the distal radio-ulnar joint is a rare disorder. It is even rarer to find the association of proximal radio-ulnar joint dislocation along with distal ulnar deficiency. This type of congenital forearm anomaly is difficult to treat. Conversion to a single bone forearm in the expense of pronation-supination movement is a viable option. By doin...

Background: Pronation deformity in patients with cerebral palsy can have a major impact on upper limb functionality. There is lack of consensus the literature about preferred surgical technique to address this deformity. Study aim: To evaluate and synthesize outcome different techniques for pronation palsy. Methodology: The databases MEDLINE Embase were searched publications up December 2021. A...

BACKGROUND Non-invasive imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide the ability to evaluate the complex anatomy of bone and soft tissues of the wrist without the use of ionizing radiation. Dynamic instability of wrist--occurring during joint motion--is a complex condition that has assumed increased importance in musculoskeletal medicine. The objective of this study was t...

PURPOSE For severe forearm injuries such as an Essex-Lopresti fracture-dislocation, functional reconstruction necessitates repair of the interosseous ligament (IOL) to restore normal load sharing between the radius and ulna. Locating or tensioning such a reconstruction improperly can lead to abnormal load sharing and/or restriction of forearm rotation. The normal IOL strains should indicate the...

Atypical rearfoot eversion is an important kinematic risk factor in running-related injuries. Prominent interventions for atypical include foot orthoses, footwear, and taping, yet a running gait retraining lacking. Therefore, the aim was to investigate effects of changing mediolateral center pressure (COP) on eversion, subtalar pronation, medial longitudinal arch angle (MLAA), hip kinematics ve...

BACKGROUND The angle-dependent torque capacity of the subtalar pronators and supinators is important to maintain dynamic ankle stabilisation. Based on the peak torques during maximum voluntary isometric pronation and supination across the subtalar range of motion, the strength curves of younger and elderly males and females were investigated. METHODS Maximum voluntary isometric subtalar prona...

The Ad Hoc Committee of Terminology of the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot (JSSF) proposes novel terminology for motion of the ankle, foot, and toe because there are some ambiguities in the current terminology. Articles were identified by searching the electronic databases of PubMed that compared definitions of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), International Society ...
