Combined ORIF and Subtalar Arthrodesis Technique for Talar Neck Fracture Dislocations
Category: Trauma; Hindfoot Introduction/Purpose: Talar neck fracture-dislocations are uncommon but potentially devastating given the critical role the talus plays in lower extremity biomechanics. Open reduction internal fixation of this injury pattern is

A phase 2 trial of hydroxychloroquine in individuals at risk for rheumatoid arthritis
Background Individuals with serum elevations of anti‐cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP) antibodies are at increased risk for future rheumatoid arthritis (RA). No pharmacologic interventions have been approved for the prevention of RA in such ‘at‐risk’ individuals. However, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is used without supporting clinical trial evidence.

ABSTRACT Purpose Several alignment strategies have been proposed in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with the two extremes being mechanical alignment (MA) and unrestricted kinematic alignment (KA). While MA standardises coronal knee parameters to achieve a neutral alignment, KA reproduces each patient's native joint lines.

Functional outcome of subtalar arthrodesis in posttraumatic arthritis
Introduction: Involvement of the subtalar joint in fracture calcaneus malunion may give rise to chronic pain and permanent functional impairment. This study evaluated the functional result of subtalar joint fusion and effectiveness of a technique using ...

Foot and ankle kinematics in rheumatoid arthritis: influence of foot and ankle joint and leg tendon pathologies [PDF]
Objective From early onset of the disease, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) experience walking impairments. Pathologic effects of RA on foot and ankle structures have been studied clinically, but little is known as to how they relate to kinematic ...

Traditional measurement techniques in cadaveric dissection fail to account for the changes in soft tissue length during joint movement. We have developed a new, simple method to obtain more accurate measurements of ligament length and validated using the lateral ankle ligaments group.

Anterolateral Arthroscopic Posterior Subtalar Arthrodesis: The Surgical Technique
The effectiveness of subtalar arthrodesis has been well documented in treating degenerative subtalar joint disease. The arthroscopic subtalar approach for arthrodesis has also been proved to give excellent results in terms of bone fusion rates and ...

Sagittal Subtalar and Talocrural Joint Assessment With Weight-Bearing Fluoroscopy During Barefoot Ambulation [PDF]
Background: Identifying talar position during ambulation has proved difficult as the talus lacks palpable landmarks for skin marker placement and more invasive methodologies such as bone pins are not practical for most clinical subjects.
