OBJECTIVES This study aims to evaluate the possible effects of early weight-bearing on clinical and radiological outcomes of comminuted calcaneal fractures treated with locking plates. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 15 patients (12 males, 3 females; mean age 40.1 years; range 18 to 55 years) with comminuted calcaneal fractures between October 2010 and April 2012. Stand...

BACKGROUND Large comparative studies that have evaluated long-term functional outcome of operatively treated ankle fractures are lacking. This study was performed to analyse the influence of several combinations of malleolar fractures on long-term functional outcome and development of osteoarthritis. METHODS Retrospective cohort-study on operated (1995-2007) malleolar fractures. Results were ...

To compare the treatment efficacy of spastic flatfoot surgery by 2 different surgical methods: nonfusion subtalar arthroereisis using subtalar joint stabilizer (SJS) and Dennyson-Fulford subtalar arthrodesis (D-FSA).A total of 26 cases of ambulant children with cerebral palsy diagnosed as spastic flatfoot were surgically treated from January 2011 to December 2014. Preoperative and postoperative...

BACKGROUND Calcaneal fractures in children are rare injuries, and those with displaced intraarticular fracture patterns are found even less frequently. Recent data in the adult literature have suggested operative treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures leads to a more favorable outcome. Most pediatric calcaneal fractures are due to low-energy trauma and are therefore minimally...

Objective: We present a series of patients with flexor hallucis longus tenosynovitis submitted to hindfoot endoscopy, describing clinical outcomes and reporting surgical findings complications seen throughout the treatment. Methods: Thirty-one diagnosed posterior ankle endoscopy were followed. The mean follow-up was 24 months. Patients classified according American Orthopaedic Foot Ankle Societ...

Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical and radiological results of extensile lateral (EL) approach sinus tarsi (ST) in calcaneal fracture surgery.
 Materyal-Metod: A total 40 patients with Sanders II-III fractures, including 22 EL group 18 ST group, were included retrospective study. evaluation, changes calcaneus Bohler Gissane angle, length, width, height measured duri...

Purpose: The aim of this stud was to compare the clinical and radiological results between Sinus-tarsi (ST) Extended-Lateral (EL) approaches in open reduction internal fixation intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
 Materials Methods: 51 fractures 48 patients surgically treated 2012 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. divided into two groups. Preoperative CT, early postoperative 1st-year ra...

Background: Surgical treatment is often needed for Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) of foot. Even though good outcomes were reported with tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (TTCA) in CN patients, the choice implant still an issue. The aim study was to evaluate TTCA retrograde intramedullary nail, patients CN. Materials and methods: A prospective observational done 41 consecutive treated hindfoot IM na...

Background We aimed to evaluate radiologic and clinical outcomes of ankle fractures involving posterior fragments that were fixed with a plate by the posterolateral approach. Methods Sixty-five patients who followed for at least 12 months older than 18 years included. The malleolus classified according Haraguchi classification system computed tomography (CT). through Intra-articular step-off, r...

Objective: Compare a case series diagnosed with Müller-Weiss disease and whether or not maintaining the diseased navicular bone influences outcome of arthrodesis. Methods: A retrospective clinical study that evaluated patients (phases 3 4 Maceira’s classification) submitted to surgery. The were divided into two groups. Group included six (six feet), in whom all was removed, tricortical graft us...
