There are few reports of this disorder in the literature, and most describe cases that ultimately lead to limb amputation. We present the cases of 2 patients treated from birth to skeletal maturity. Methods: Two female patients with clubfoot at birth were diagnosed with congenital distal tibiofibular diastasis. One of them had the deformity of the right foot, and the other had deformity of both limbs. Both patients underwent early distal tibiofibular arthrodesis and serial stretching of the compromised feet and legs. Results: After 20 years of clinical follow-up and after reaching skeletal maturity, both patients had plantigrade feet without significant shortening of the lower limbs or pain, and both performed activities of daily living without restrictions, wearing conventional shoes. Conclusion: Early distal tibiofibular arthrodesis followed by limb stretching was effective for treating congenital distal tibiofibular diastasis and is a good alternative to amputation, which is indicated in the literature.","PeriodicalId":21602,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of the Foot & Ankle","volume":"216 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91387674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The flowcharts for lateral soft-tissue release remain unclear and lack consensus among surgeons. Objective: To propose a modified version of the test for the complementary preoperative assessment of hallux valgus reduction. Methods: We describe a method in which the examiner supinates the first metatarsal head medially to manually correct the pronation of the first metatarsal and then applies varus force to the hallux to test the lateral capsular tension of the metatarsophalangeal joint. Results: A significant reduction in lateral capsular tension was observed in the metatarsal head lifting and rotating maneuver compared with the conventional McBride test. Discussion: Hallux valgus reduction is greater with manual correction of the deformity than with the classic McBride test, most likely because of the resulting rotational bone repositioning and soft-tissue balancing. These changes seem to decrease the lateral tension that limits the correction of the deformity in the metatarsophalangeal angular plane. Conclusion: We believe that this modified version of the McBride test can be used as a more reliable predictor of the need for lateral metatarsophalangeal release after the metatarsal position is corrected through osteotomy or cuneometatarsal arthrodesis. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":21602,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of the Foot & Ankle","volume":"219 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87025805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concept of detection and management of diabetes mellitus in primary care centers is widely practiced in Brazil by the general practitioner. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of our educational program for diabetics for patients with diabetes mellitus and to determine the predictors of compliance. Methods: A cross-sectional prospective study was performed in a quaternary hospital where patients with diabetes were referred to the outpatient clinic of the diabetic foot group so that they were part of a multidisciplinary group (medical orthopedists specialists in foot and ankle, medical endocrinologists, physiotherapist and nurse) with a specific protocol for guidelines for foot care. Specialist orthopedic doctors of the foot and ankle completed the protocol and performed the specific physical examination. Results: Of the 578 diabetic patients, the mean age was 67 years, 69% were female, 53% used insulin to control the disease and the disease duration was 14 years. Obesity was diagnosed by calculation of the body mass index (BMI), and 85% patients were overweight. Evaluation of protective sensibility showed that 68% were significantly decreased, with sensation from the 4.0 g monofilament. One hundred and twenty seven patients required surgery resulting from clinical complications of the disease: 64 ulcers (Wagner classification 57% ulcers had a degree 1 Wagner classification, 63% affected forefoots), 54 Charcot arthropathies (52% Eichenholz in phase 3, 61% located in the mid-foot), and 9 cases of osteomyelitis. Fifty-three patients had one or more prior amputations at the time of their first appointment, mostly of the toes (66%).

All studies found in the literature refer to the adult population, with no reports of this injury in the pediatric population. The literature on the treatment of this injury is scarce. Objective: To report the case of a child subjected to peroneus brevis tendon transfer for the sequela of a severe anterior tibial and extensor hallucis longus tendon injury. Methods: Male patient, 8 years of age, was run over by a car and sustained an exposed tibial fracture and major soft-tissue injury of the foot. Anterior tibial, posterior tibial and extensor hallucis longus tendon rupture were detected. Damage control, soft-tissue cover and conservative treatment of the anterior tibial and extensor hallucis longus tendons were initially performed; however, the conservative treatment failed, and valgus deformity and pronation developed. Subsequently, tenoplasty (posterior tibial tendon), the Strayer procedure (gastrocnemius recession of the Achilles tendon) and elongation of the peroneus longus and brevis tendons were also performed, but the patient experienced deformity recurrence. Subcutaneous peroneus brevis tendon transfer to the navicular was then chosen, with postoperative use of an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) and physical therapy. Results: The deformity was improved. The patient progressed with satisfactory gait and strength. He currently walks without support using an AFO. Both the patient and his family were satisfied with the functional outcome of the tendon transfer. Conclusion: Reconstruction of anterior tibial and extensor hallucis longus tendon rupture through peroneus brevis tendon transfer is a viable and reliable treatment option. No complications such as adhesions or correction failure were observed, thus corroborating the viability of this method.","PeriodicalId":21602,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of the Foot & Ankle","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81975535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shockwave therapy (SWT) has become a reliable option for the management of this disease in recent years. The objective of this study is to report the effectiveness of low-energy SWT combined with an eccentric strengthening protocol in 19 consecutive patients. Methods: This is a prospective study of 19 patients diagnosed with IAT. The protocol consisted of SWT combined with eccentric training for 12 weeks. All patients were evaluated on the first day and after 24 weeks using the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Achilles (VISA-A) score, the Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) questionnaire and algometry. The patients were also evaluated for compliance with the protocol, complications and final outcome. Results: All patients completed the study without complications. In total, 15 (79%) patients fully complied with the Alfredson protocol, and 13 (68%) considered the treatment successful. At the final evaluation, the patients required more pressure on the calcaneus to trigger pain (Algometry 1), reported less pain when applying the algometer with 3 kg of pressure (Algometry 2) and had less global pain (VAS) and higher AOFAS and VISA-A scores. All differences were significant. Conclusion: Eccentric training combined with SWT is an effective treatment for IAT. Further placebo-controlled studies with a longer follow-up are necessary to support this statement.","PeriodicalId":21602,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of the Foot & Ankle","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83159419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of percutaneous procedures for HV has been increasingly explored. The present study aims to evaluate and compare the radiographic results of percutaneous surgeries for HV treatment performed at our institution. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on radiographs and medical records of patients undergoing percutaneous surgery for HV treatment from August 2017 to August 2018. Using pre and postoperative radiographs, the Hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), and bone sesamoid deviation measurement and classification were performed according to the AOFAS criteria for angular measurements. Results: We evaluated the radiographs of 19 patients, representing a total of 25 feet, with a minimum segment time of four months, 84.2% females, and a mean age of 58 years. In 13 feet, there was an association of the Chevron and Akin techniques and in 12 of the Reverdin-Isham and Akin techniques. On average, the preoperative IMA was 13.4º, and in the postoperative period, 7.2º HVA had a mean of 26.3º in the preoperative period and in the postoperative period an average value of 11,2º. We observed improvement of the dislocation of the sesamoids in all cases by postoperative radiography. We did not find any serious complications. Discussion: There was a decrease in the postoperative measurements in all evaluated cases, with a mean of 15º in the HVA and 6,2º in the IMA. Chevron osteotomy associated with AKIN obtained a higher degree of correction of the IMA as predicted. The HVA using both techniques provided good correction without significant differences, which could be explained by the association of the Akin osteotomy in the two evaluated techniques.  Conclusion: Percutaneous surgeries with Chevron plus Akin and Riverdin-Isham plus Akin techniques performed at our institution proved to be efficient for HV correction, with a reduction of postoperative HVA and IMA.","PeriodicalId":21602,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of the Foot & Ankle","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86012872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients with type 43C fractures were included in this study. A total of 98 tibial pilon osteosynthesis surgeries were performed, and 35 cases were selected for this study based on the inclusion criteria. The treatment protocol established was based on the Tscherne Classification.  Results: We observed that immediate skin complications might be a prognostic factor for the late removal of osteosynthesis material (mean = 2 years postoperation) because an association was found between skin complications and the removal of osteosynthesis material. We observed a high incidence of late arthritis complications in both groups, which indicates that post-traumatic arthritis associated with 43C pilon fractures is practically certain.  Conclusion: No differences were found between the groups when correlating the American Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS), the degree of arthritis, and skin complications; therefore, complications did not determine the outcomes of tibial pilon fracture. Although the cartilage damage that occurs at the time of injury is a significant mediator of the clinical outcome, more important factors affect the final treatment outcome. In our study, these factors were the treatment protocol based on soft tissue involvement, anatomical reconstruction of the joint, and rigid internal fixation with early range of motion.","PeriodicalId":21602,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of the Foot & Ankle","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90595792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis was performed based on the Lauge-Hansen classification. The raters were 5 orthopedic professionals from our department: 3 residents and 2 board-certified orthopedists (one with less than 10 years of experience, and the other with more 10 years of experience in the field). The professionals first analyzed and classified 30 ankle fracture radiographs; then, after 1 week, they were asked to perform a new evaluation. The radiographs were shown without names or other identifying information. The classifications were subsequently examined based on the analysis of the supporting material that had been previously provided for each individual. A consensus decision regarding the classification was made among all professionals at the end of the study. Results: The professionals were asked to analyze radiographs from 30 patients with ankle fracture, among whom supination-external rotation was the most common diagnosis. The results were outlined in tables and plotted in graphs; in a second evaluation performed after 1 week, there were 66% hits and 34% errors, whereas the percentage of hits in the first evaluation was 61.33%.
