CONTEXT Altered foot dynamics due to malalignment of the foot may change plantar-pressure properties, resulting in various kinds of overuse injuries. OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of foot characteristics on plantar-pressure-related measures such as maximum pressure, maximum pressure-time, and pressure-time integral underneath the medial aspect of the foot during running. DESIGN Cross-secti...

thisis a case report of a 24-year-old man who presented with increased pain and firm swelling of the right foot after a minor twisting injury. radiography, computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) findings showed ancillary information that was helpful for surgical treatment. the final diagnosis was confirmed aschondroblastoma of the navicular bone based on the pathology rep...

In a review of the etiology of peroneal spastic flat foot, Harris and Beath in 1948 showed that this term was often applied indiscriminately and inaccurately to rigid flat feet of at least three different types. In two there was an anomaly of tarsal structure with fusion of the calcaneum either to the navicular bone or to the talus. A deformed, rigid foot was produced without true peroneal spas...

In this study, we reported a case with collapse and subluxation of metatarsal-cuneiform joint, navicular-cuneiform joint with subluxed the right first metatarsophalangeal joint. The injured medial column was internally fixed with compression arthrodesis. The fusion site was firmed up with BonGold® Bone Sponge and Bone Putty. The prognosis of fused navicular-cuneiform joint and metatarsal-cuneif...

The tarsal navicular plays an integral role in hind-foot motion and gait, and is the keystone of the foot's medial longitudinal arch. As such, injuries to the navicular can be devastating. Acute avulsion, tuberosity, and body fractures have been described. Fractures of the body result from high-energy trauma and are often seen in conjunction with additional ipsilateral foot injuries. Plain radi...

The accessory navicular is occasionally the source of pain and local tenderness over the instep. If conservative measures fail, surgical treatment may be required and the results of 62 operations to one or both feet in 47 patients are reported. Twenty-six patients were treated by the Kidner operation, in which the main insertion of the tibialis posterior is re-routed; in the remaining 21 the os...

Background: Running is a cyclic movement requiring bilateral symmetry between the lower limbs to reduce injury risk. The assessment of side-to-side differences often performed detect functional deficits. Objectives: purpose was study using clinical and running performance assessments in healthy runners (HR), with history limb injuries (RHI), current (RLI). Methods: Forty-three were recruited, 1...

CONTEXT A discrepancy in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury rates exists between men and women. Structural differences between the sexes often are implicated as a factor in this discrepancy. Researchers anecdotally assume that men and women tend to display different normative values for certain lower extremity alignments, but published information about these values is limited. OBJECTIVE...

Objective. To determine the effect of off the self foot orthoses in the treatment of idiopathic plantar fasciitis. Methods. Thirty-four subjects with a clinical diagnosis of plantar fasciitis were evaluated using isotopic bone scan, ultrasound and physical examination as a baseline measure. A Foot Function Index (FFI), standardized orthopedic foot and ankle joint measures plus a navicular drop ...
