Metastasis to bone or synovial tissue in the distal extremity is a rare event for endometrial carcinoma. This case report involves a 76-year-old female with stage II endometrial cancer who developed persistent ankle pain after a transabdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Plain films were initially negative. An MRI several weeks later demonstrated an abnormality in the syno...

Background: The sinus tarsi syndrome (STS) is a common foot and ankle disease with controversial pathogenesis treatment procedures. This long-term study aimed to analyze the effect of staged surgical strategy for STS.

Sinus Tarsi Syndrome is a cause of chronic ankle instability and pain. MRI of the ankle has been the modality of choice for diagnosing the condition. However, SPECT-CT offers an alternate modality for diagnosing and evaluation of the condition. We present the case of a footballer who was suffering from chronic right leg pain despite receiving physiotherapy. He was being managed as a case of a c...

PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to identify the pathologic findings of sinus tarsi syndrome (STS) by subtalar arthroscopy and to evaluate the results of arthroscopic treatments in 33 consecutive cases. METHODS A retrospective review was performed in 31 consecutive patients (33 cases) who underwent subtalar arthroscopic treatment for STS. The mean follow-up duration was 24 months (rang...

BACKGROUND Two common surgical approaches included the sinus tarsi and extensile lateral are used for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. However, few studies have compared outcome of treated by the two approaches. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome between these two approaches for Sanders type-II and type-III fractures. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was...

BACKGROUND We conducted a prospective randomized clinical trial to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of the sinus tarsi and extended lateral approaches for the surgical treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures. METHODS Between January 2009 and January 2014, patients with displaced intraarticular calcaneal fracture were randomly assigned to receive surgical treatm...

ABSTRACT The operative treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures has been a controversial topic. Soft tissue conditions and concomitant disease must be considered in these patients. The minimally invasive sinus tarsi approach is a valid therapeutic solution that guarantees stability, anatomic reduction of the fracture and soft tissue preservation. Twenty-five closed calcaneal fr...
