Lisfranc joint dislocation secondary to Charcot arthropathy is a debilitating condition that often leads to ulceration and infection. After conservative treatment, such as bracing and appropriate shoe wear fail, the only option might be amputation. However, we have seen good clinical outcomes from applying a plate to the plantar (tension) side of the medial midfoot. In our retrospective study, ...

The suspensory ligament (SL) can be divided into three separate regions which are subject to injury: the proximal part, the body, and the branches. For clinical purposes in the forelimb the proximal part extends from approximately 4 to 12 cm distal to the accessory carpal bone, and in the hindlimb from approximately 2 to 10 cm distal to the tarsometatarsal joint. In the forelimb, the SL origina...

Two different hypotheses have been advanced to explain the formation of talotibial osteophytes in the anterior ankle impingement syndrome. We investigated how frequently hyperplantar flexion occurs during kicking and whether the site of impact of the ball coincides with the reported location of the osteophytes. We also measured the magnitude of the impact force. We studied 150 kicking actions p...
