The architecture of this study was designed to be simple, effective, and repeatable with minimal complications. This study used a force plate to examine ground reaction forces with the simultaneous use of a video tape recorder to provide overlapping images of the angular displacement of the proximal phalanx on the first metatarsophalangeal joint coinciding with these ground reaction forces. Peak ground reaction force was found to be 1.16 x body weight while the proximal phalanx was found to be maximally dorsiflexed just 0.09 seconds after the peak ground reaction force. The mean range of motion during this process was found to be 31.54 degrees.</p>","PeriodicalId":76649,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of foot surgery","volume":"31 5","pages":"450-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12601814","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}

This osteotomy is combined with other procedures in surgical realignment of the first ray. Cases best suited for this procedure must be selected carefully. The procedure involves resecting the existing bone block from the opposing surfaces of the first and second metatarsal bases and from the distal one half of the opposing surfaces of the first and second cuneiforms. A triangular-shaped wedge of bone is then resected from the midbody of the first cuneiform while retaining a medial hinge. Closure of the first cuneiform osteotomy should require only minimal pressure. Two threaded Steinman pins transfix the osteotomy site. The vascular cancellous bone of the first cuneiform assures adequate healing of the osteotomy site.</p>","PeriodicalId":76649,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of foot surgery","volume":"31 5","pages":"434-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12601811","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}
