Medial malleolus fixation with partially threaded cancellous 4.0-mm screws, a common fixation method, has been shown to fail due to pullout strength. Subsequent cadaveric models have shown increased pullout strength with the use of bicortical screws. The literature has also demonstrated fairly good clinical results with the use of bicortical screw fixation in a general population as well as in a complicated patient cohort.Methods: We sought to compare bicortical fully threaded 3.5-mm screw fixation with unicortical partially threaded 4.0-mm fixation in medial malleolus fractures. The aim was to compare postoperative complications such as screw failure/loosening, nonunion, delayed union, painful hardware, time to union, and time to full weightbearing.Results: Of 292 patients retrospectively reviewed, 126 were included following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data included 48 patients in the bicortical group and 78 in the unicortical group, with a mean ± SD combined age of 56.0 ± 18.0 years. Complications occurred in three patients (6%) in the bicortical screw fixation group and in six (8%) in the unicortical group, which did not reach statistical significance.Conclusions: These results show that medial malleolus fixation has an overall low complication rate of 7% total combined, which is comparable with the current literature. We demonstrated no significant differences in complications, weeks to ambulation, or time to union between bicortical and unicortical fixation.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"114 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143052875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often understudied and overlooked, their presence can cause many complications of the lower extremity. These muscles, although often asymptomatic, can cause great pain and complications such as tenosynovitis, tarsal tunnel syndrome, lateral ankle instability, and ankle pain when they impinge on the normal anatomy of the patient. The goals of this study were to examine the prevalence of common variants such as the peroneus quartus, peroneus digiti quinti, accessory soleus, flexor accessorius digitorum longus, peroneocalcaneus internus, and tibiocalcaneus internus and to understand the morphological and clinical significance of these accessory muscles and their interactions with surrounding muscles. A literature review of anatomically and clinically based articles was conducted to evaluate the supernumerary muscles. Phrases such as accessory muscles were used to refine the search. Supernumerary muscles have an incidence of 3% to 62%, depending on the muscular compartment and the specific muscle. Although conservative treatments such as orthoses and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may help alleviate some pain, surgical treatment yields higher success rates. Identification of supernumerary muscles is mainly by magnetic resonance imaging, but they can be detected by other methods, such as ultrasound. Due to the wide implications of these supernumerary muscles, this study attempted to create a reference guide for physicians to use in aiding their diagnoses and therapeutic plans. Although supernumerary muscles are typically asymptomatic, knowledge of these muscles is beneficial for clinicians in aiding their treatment plans.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"114 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143052891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, most of these studies have used small sample sizes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) concurrently in patients with RA using a relatively large sample size.Methods: A cross-sectional study using a nonprobability sampling method retrospectively surveyed the incidence of CTS and TTS in 338 patients with RA who had clinical signs of nerve entrapment and electrodiagnostic test evidence of CTS or TTS. The study comprised a sample of 269 women and 69 men.Results: Electrodiagnostic testing found CTS in 256 patients (75.7%) and TTS in 82 patients (24.3%); CTS was found in 56 men and 200 women, and TTS was seen in 13 men and 69 women. Concurrent CTS and TTS occurred in 50 patients (14.8%; nine men and 41 women).Conclusions: Peripheral nerve entrapment in the form of CTS and TTS was found to have a high incidence in persons with RA.

Despite their rapid development, there is only one systematic review regarding arthroscopically assisted treatment of ankle fractures, in which, however, only malleolar fracture studies are included. Various other types of ankle fractures have also been treated with arthroscopically assisted procedures. The purpose of this review was to identify and evaluate the existing literature about arthroscopically assisted surgical management of other types of foot and ankle fractures, such as Tillaux, pilon, Bosworth, talar, and calcaneal fractures. A systematic review was conducted until December 2022 using the Arksey and O'Malley framework and reported according to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews). Three databases-PubMed, Elsevier Scopus, and Cochrane Library-were searched for relevant studies. The chosen studies were divided into groups according to the fracture type. Of the 424 initially identified studies, 36 were finally included in the review: 22 case reports or case series and 14 original retrospective cohort studies. Participant demographic characteristics; methods of arthroscopically assisted reduction and fixation; and clinical, radiologic, and patient-reported outcomes were extracted. Arthroscopically assisted techniques for the treatment of Tillaux, pilon, Bosworth, talar, and calcaneal fractures are effective procedures and have already shown satisfactory and promising clinical and radiologic outcomes. There are some limitations in their use though, especially in some specific fracture patterns. Long-term effects and possible superiority of arthroscopically assisted techniques over classic reduction and fixation must be further studied.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"114 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143059458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Development of HO in weightbearing and/or superficial areas can lead to increased pressures, which increases the likelihood of wound formation and pain. Current treatment modalities for HO of the foot include mechanical off-loading and surgical resection; however, prophylactic measures such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, bisphosphonates, and other medical therapies have been attempted previously with mixed efficacy. Radiation therapy is another prophylactic method that may be used for the prevention of HO in patients after transosseous partial foot amputation.Methods: The present case series evaluated ten patients who underwent transosseous partial foot amputation for HO resection immediately followed by single low-dose radiation treatment. All of the patients received radiation between 700 and 800 cGy, with 6 MV photons directed at the area of concern within 48 hours of surgery.Results: Postoperatively, 10% of patients had HO recurrence, 80% remained fully weightbearing, 90% went on to primarily heal their surgical incisions, and 80% had postoperative pain relief; however, 30% went on to below-the-knee amputation due to chronic pain and/or infectious or nonfunctional pathology.Conclusions: Radiation therapy is a relatively available and safe modality for the prevention of HO that may be used prophylactically in cases of high suspicion of or known HO formation of the foot.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"114 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143052882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data on sex, age, body mass index (BMI), surgery performed, date of surgery, and wound development were collected.Methods: We retrospectively collected data on 217 patients with a mean ± SD age of 46.16 ± 13.72 years and follow-up of 9.1 ± 12.42 months. The specific procedures performed with this incision included repair of ruptured Achilles tendon (n = 89), Haglund deformity correction (n = 75), and flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer (n = 63). Wound complication was defined as a delay in wound healing with necrosis of the incisional margins resulting in exposure of superficial or deep layers. Deep infection was defined as the need for intravenous antibiotics.Results: We reported 15 wound complications (6.91%): ten (4.6%) were superficial and five (2.3%) were deep. All five patients with deep wound complications required operative debridement, and four patients required intravenous antibiotics. The infection rate of the midline incisional approach was 1.83%. Superficial wound complications were treated with local care and oral antibiotics, as necessary. There were no significant differences between age (P = .5986; P < .05), BMI (P = .7968; P < .05), smoking history (P = .6356; P < .05), or length of follow-up (P = .8338; P < .05). The overall wound rate of 6.91% is comparable with other literature with larger cohorts.Conclusions: These results will help us better educate surgeons about the risk of wound development with the posterior midline Achilles tendon incision.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"114 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143059519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
