Hindfoot Instability Test—Introduction and Validation of an Intraoperative Diagnostic Test of Hindfoot Instability in Deltoid Ligament Injury Associated With Ankle Fractures

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The deltoid ligament complex (DLC) is well‐known as an ankle joint stabilizer; however, through the superficial DLC, it also acts at the subtalar joint and helps to maintain the medial longitudinal arch. DLC repair in the presence of an ankle fracture remains a topic of controversy in the current literature.

Driving Fan Engagement: The Role of Orientation, Value Creation, and Community Dynamics in Sports Fan Pages

open access: yesJournal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Online fan communities are important peripheral arenas for sports consumption. However, the psychological and social mechanisms that sustain engagement across these digital spaces are not sufficiently understood. This study thus investigates how Orientation Toward Sporting Events (OSE) drives fan page engagement and, subsequently, satisfaction.

Calcified Plaque Detachment: Alternative Calcified Plaque Modification After Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Calcified plaque (CP) detachment (CD) and calcium fracture (CF) can occur following coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). The extent to which CF alone facilitates stent expansion during CP modification with IVL remains unclear. Aims This study aimed to investigate the clinical implications of IVL‐induced CD.
