Endoscopic Resection of Sinus Tarsi Ganglion Extended to the Anterolateral Ankle

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Sinus tarsi ganglia are believed to develop from the degeneration of surrounding ligaments or subtalar joint and may associate with sinus tarsi syndrome. Surgical excision of the ganglion and debridement of the sinus tarsi is indicated for symptomatic ones recalcitrant to conservative treatment.

Effects of adjustable‐volume transfemoral prosthetic sockets on balance and falls: A randomized clinical trial

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Adjustable‐volume prosthetic sockets have been developed to allow users to accommodate volume fluctuations throughout the day. Improvement in socket fit is thought to enhance the connection between the user's residual limb and prosthesis and may therefore improve postural control and balance.
