Diagnosis of fracture is based on X-rays radiological studies, but CT-scan is the most reliable tool for diagnosis of calcaneus fracture. In this study, we conducted a systematic review, which will help readers to get a better view of usefulness of different imaging modality in diagnosis of calcaneal fracture. Methods: We conducted a systematic review based on PRISMA protocol. To find all citations, PubMed /Medline, ISI web of knowledge, EMBASE and Cochrane library databases were searched from their beginning to June 2015. Two authors, applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, screened all citations and abstracts and extracted all needed information from included literatures, independently. In order to assess the quality of included studies, QUADAS was used. Results: Ten literatures included in this systematic review. Sensitivity of different conventional radiographs ranged from 0% for Foot posteroanterior to 100% for Foot reversed oblique and Combined Lateral and axial calcaneal X-ray. Specificity of conventional radiographs ranged from 72% for lateral calcaneal X-ray to 100% for Lateral foot or ankle radiograph. For the CT-scan, three-dimensional (3D) shaded radiographs had highest sensitivity (90.7%) and specificity (93.9%). Four studies tried to show value of angle’s measures in diagnosis of calcaneal fracture that had different results. Conclusions: We concluded that there are few literatures evaluating different imaging modality in diagnosis of calcaneal fracture and results are not enough to prove advantage of one modality to others. So, one study with a large population sample is needed to compare diagnostic value of different modalities.","PeriodicalId":92013,"journal":{"name":"Clinical research on foot & ankle","volume":"4 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70280717","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}

Tasaki","doi":"10.4172/2329-910X.1000187","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2329-910X.1000187","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Anterolateral ankle pain is a common symptom after ankle sprain in athletes. Although the \u0000pathologic conditions producing anterolateral ankle pain have been researched, we still do not know the exact relationship between structural abnormality and anterolateral ankle pain. The aim of this study was to assess two distinct areas of anterolateral ankle pain by comparing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) findings with those of arthroscopic examination. \u0000Methods: From 2011 to 2014, a total of 32 ankles were examined. Preoperative physical findings, MRI and CT findings, and systematic arthroscopic examination were retrospectively reviewed. Abnormalities of two anterolateral ankle regions, the lateral shoulder and anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), were recorded. \u0000Results: Tenderness over the lateral shoulder region was present in 20 patients (62.5%) and tenderness over the ATFL region was present in 17 patients (54.1%). CT abnormalities were found in 28 patients (87.5%). MRIabnormalities were found in 25 patients (78.1%). On arthroscopy, 32 patients (97.0%) showed abnormalities in the anterolateral area. Statistical analyses showed correlations between pathology on imaging and arthroscopic \u0000examinations, and clinical pain. In the lateral shoulder region, synovitis/scar tissue and accessory (Bassett’s) \u0000ligament correlated with clinical pain. In the ATFL region, an abnormal ATFL and osteochondrial lesions correlated \u0000with clinical pain. \u0000Conclusion: Various pathological findings were observed on arthroscopic examination. Although anterolateral \u0000impingent syndrome is considered to be due to soft tissue impingement, osteocartilaginous abnormalities were \u0000identified in these patients. Inadequate care resulting in scar tissue formation and the presence of microinstability \u0000are possibly etiologic factors associated with abnormal findings. In order to prevent these conditions, improvements \u0000in the initial treatment of ankle injuries is warranted.","PeriodicalId":92013,"journal":{"name":"Clinical research on foot & ankle","volume":"4 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2329-910X.1000187","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70280750","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}

Whereas it is not as common as hip and knee arthrosis in the aging population, it is more and more prevalent in the younger population. Also, it is not uncommon to see total destruction of the ankle joint in the neuropathic population. Whereas arthrosis of the knee and hip is mostly “wear and tear” type, the vast majority of ankle arthrosis is post traumatic. Because of this the likely hood of an underlying post traumatic deformity is high. Post Traumatic Deformity is often disabling particularly in the case of osteomyelitis treatment and open fractures with bone loss. This leads to a painful, non plantigrade, non functional limb. Consequently, the surgeon needs to perform complete and methodic pre-operative planning prior to performing any definitive reconstructive joint surgery. \u0000Ankle arthrodesis continues to be the standard of care for end stage ankle arthrosis. It is a tried and true procedure that provides the surgeon and patient, predictable union rates, low rate of complications and ultimately, gives acceptable AOFAS score, indicating a good post-surgical quality of life to the patient. However, arthrodesis is not without disadvantages. Over the last 10 years, however total ankle replacement (TAR), has become a growing and more widely accepted alternative to arthrodesis. New systems have improved instrumentation, shorter operating room time and fewer complications as well as improved functional outcomes. This procedure is also not without significant possible complications and disadvantages. Also, distraction ankle arthroplasty has shown to provide favorable short term and medium term favorable outcomes. \u0000However, regardless of the procedure selected by the surgeon and patient for the treatment of ankle arthritis, there is one principle that is ubiquitous but unfortunately often overlooked. This iatrogenic negligence leads to increased non-union rates, continued pain and ultimately loss of functionality of the limb. The authors of this paper have encountered several failed ankle arthrodeses and TAR’s because of this which required extensive revisional reconstructive surgery. Also, in the case of bony deformity, conservative measures such as braces, AFO’s will have disappointing results.","PeriodicalId":92013,"journal":{"name":"Clinical research on foot & ankle","volume":"4 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2329-910X.1000192","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70280853","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 study was aimed to compare the effectiveness of using an arch support and a silicone heel pad in the pain management of people with plantar fasciitis. \u0000Methods: Forty subjects (mean ± SD age; 44.46 ± 9.7 years) with unilateral plantar fasciitis were recruited in this randomized clinical trial study. They randomly and equally allocated to the intervention groups (the soft arch support insole and silicone heel pad). The primary outcomes were pain and foot function. Outcomes were measured while participants were administrated prior to receiving the allocated intervention and after 6-week follow up period. In the admission and follow-up sessions, the heel pain was scored via visual analogue scale (VAS) and the foot function were measured by foot and ankle outcome score (FAOS) questionnaire. Data were analysed by Mann-Whitney test. \u0000Results: Foot orthoses significantly improved the foot function, reduce the heel pain (p<0.001).

Two observers independently scored the defects using the ICRS (0-12 points). Histological analysis was performed by one expert histologist using the O’Driscoll Score (0-24 points) on 5 μm slices stained with Masson Goldner and Safranin O. Total ICRS and O’Driscoll scores as well as sub items were compared using a Spearman correlation coefficient (p<0.05). \u0000Results: The median ICRS for Observer 1 and 2 were 6.5 (range: 4-11) and 6.5 (range: 3-11).

Possible explanations may be limitations of surface assessment compared to analysis deeper into the tissue and the necessity of more elaborate macroscopic assessment including hypertrophy, colour, lesion size, location and degenerative status of the joint.

There was no correlation with the incidence of TOM and duration of diabetes, other demographic data, or various biochemical parameters, but there was a trend for association of TOM to reduced sensation in healthy people with diabetes. Clinician were making more accurate (82%) diagnosis of TOM than that of healthy nail plate (53.8%) when compared with microbiological studies. As TOM is very common and the benefit of its treatment has not been confirmed, the value of routine laboratory screening for TOM as part of annual assessment of diabetes is not established.

The aim of this study is to assess the repeatability of the OFM in healthy subjects.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000Nine healthy subjects, without a history of lower extremity injury, were recruited. Markers were placed according to the OFM requirements. Motion capture was conducted using the VICON NEXUS system on two separate test days, with two tests on each day conducted by two independent examiners. The range of motion (ROM) of the following inter-segments was selected for further analysis: forefoot-hindfoot, forefoot-tibia and hindfoot-tibia in frontal, sagittal and transverse planes. Each step was divided in two parts, a loading phase (from heel strike to midstance) and a push-off phase (from midstance to toe-off). The Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of the measurements with 90% confidence bounds (SEM90) and the Minimal Differences needed to be considered real (MD) with 95% confidence interval were calculated for inter-observer and intra-observer and effect of trial using SPSS.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000There was a linear correlation between the number of trials and the ICC's (r(2)=0.49, p<0.001), with six trial leading to good ICC's. Inter-observer repeatability: In the loading phase almost all ICC's were good or excellent (0.53-0.97) with only one parameter below 0.60. In the push-off phase two parameters scored moderate agreement, where the other 7 parameters had well to excellent agreement. The SEM90 values were varying from 0.85° to 2.49° in the loading phase and from 0.92° to 4.40° in the push-off phase.
