Macro‐ and microcirculatory factors affecting foot temperature change during walking

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Change in skin temperature is a complex process affected by several factors. During walking, increased microcirculatory activity, such as muscle metabolism, could increase foot temperature. The ensuing macrocirculatory responses, such as increased leg blood flow (LBF), might also increase foot temperature.

A prospective clinical and biomechanical analysis of feet following first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis for end stage hallux rigidus

Background Hallux Rigidus is the result of degeneration of the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint (1st MTPJ). In end-stage hallux rigidus, treatment is mainly surgical with arthrodesis being a favourable option.

A distal metatarsal osteotomy for hallux rigidus

, 2010
Hallux rigidus is a mild to severe degenerative arthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint of the foot. The symptoms usually result from cartilage wear, altered joint mechanics, and osteophyte formation particularly on the dorsal aspect of the ...

Irreducible Dislocation of the Great Toe Interphalangeal Joint Secondary to an Incarcerated Sesamoid: A Retrospective Case Series of Six Patients

Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports
Introduction: Irreducible interphalangeal (IP) joint dislocation of the hallux is a rare injury, most often caused by interposition of the sesamoid–plantar plate complex.

Hallux valgus

Acta chirurgica Iugoslavica, 2011
Hallux valgus is a complex deformity of the forefoot. Beside the lateral deviation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint angle exceeding 15-20 degrees and intermetatarsalvarus exceeding 8-9 degrees, it is also characterized by extensive changes of the soft tissue arch, sesamoid mechanism and metatarsocuneiform joint.

Low‐threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptors on the foot sole have enhanced sensitivity when skin temperature is elevated

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of microneurography recordings used to examine the effects of local skin heating on cutaneous mechanoreceptor responses in the human foot (left panel). A microelectrode inserted into a peripheral nerve records single‐unit activity from tactile afferent fibres while controlled mechanical stimuli are applied ...
