Osteochondral lesions in distal tarsal joints of Icelandic horses reveal strong associations between hyaline and calcified cartilage abnormalities [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2014 Osteochondral lesions in the joints of the distal tarsal region of young Icelandic horses provide a natural model for the early stages of osteoarthritis (OA) in low-motion joints. We describe and characterise mineralised and non-mineralised osteochondral

Compensatory Movements of the Midfoot Joints Influence Gait Pattern After Arthroscopic Ankle Arthrodesis [PDF]
Foot & Ankle OrthopaedicsBackground: Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis (AAA) is a standard procedure for end-stage osteoarthritis of the ankle. One of the main concerns after AAA remains the development of secondary osteoarthritis in the subtalar and tarsal joints in the long term.

Tarsal fusion for pes equinovarus deformity improves gait capacity in chronic stroke patients
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2019 Background Gait impairments are common and disabling in chronic stroke patients. Pes equinovarus deformity is one of the primary motor deficits underlying reduced gait capacity after stroke. It predisposes to stance-phase instability and subsequent ankle
