The accessory navicular (AN) is a separate ossification center for the tuberosity of the navicular that is present in approximately 5–14% of the general population. It produces a firm prominence on the plantar-medial aspect of the midfoot. There may be a co-existent flexible flatfoot, but there is no conclusive evidence of a cause-and-effect relationship between the two conditions. It is usually not symptomatic, and few cases necessitate operative intervention. When symptoms require surgical treatment,
The purpose of this study was to determine the surgical risks and recurrence rate associated with the
Patient reported outcomes and satisfaction scores following
Introduction. The popliteus tendon is a component of the posterolateral corner of the knee, which controls the external rotation of the tibia. In our clinical practice, the femoral footprint of the popliteus tendon is occasionally excised as the bone is resected during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Although the
Chondrosarcoma of bone is a surgical disease and
Wrist ganglia are the commonest benign tumours of the hand consisting of a collagenous walled cavity containing gelatinous mucin material. These lesions can be managed by either reassurance alone, aspiration or surgical
Twenty-two patients who underwent thirty-four Kellers’
Objective: To assess whether hemicortical
The recognition, investigation and management of osteoid osteoma has been well documented. Treatment can either be medical or surgical, studies have shown both options to have almost equal long term outcomes. However only surgical treatment involving complete
Routinely in TKA, at least one of the cruciate ligaments are sacrificed. The cruciate ligaments
Introduction and Aims: The volar carpal ganglion (VCG) is a common benign tumor of the hand complicated by multiple recurrences with conventional treatment. Despite being a common condition, we know of no report describing post-operative functional outcome. We evaluated functional outcome, pain, scarring, and recurrence after VCG
Introduction Radio-scapho-lunate (RSL) arthrodesis has been shown to be an effective treatment for arthritis limited to the radio-carpal joint. It preserves wrist motion at the mid-carpal joint while relieving pain. The main shortcoming of this procedure has been restricted residual wrist range of motion (ROM) compromising clinical outcome. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of
Background:. Achilles pathology is a serious and frequently occurring problem, especially in elite athletes. Recent research has suggested a role for the plantaris tendon in non-insertional achilles tendinopathy. We report on the outcomes after
Introduction: This biomechanical study evaluates the consequences of a mid-third BPTB-autograft
Purpose: Patients are often referred to tertiary care centers after unplanned
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of posterior
cruciate ligament (PCL) retention, PCL recession, and PCL excision
during cruciate-retaining total knee replacement. Methods. A total of 3018 anatomic graduated component total knee replacements
were examined; 1846 of these retained the PCL, 455 PCLs were partially
recessed, and in 717 the PCL was completely excised from the back
of the tibia. Results. Clinical scores between PCL groups favored
Limited wrist arthrodesis has been shown to be an effective treatment for the degenerative and unstable wrist, abolishing pain but limiting motion. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of
Aim: A prospective study designed to assess and evaluate the results of arthroscopic acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) minimal
Fibular hemimelia is associated with equinovalgus deformity of the ankle and hind foot and antero-medial bowing of tibia. A wedge shaped distal epiphysis of the tibia and tight posterolateral soft tissues play an important role in the pathogenesis of ankle valgus and lateral subluxation of foot. Tethering effect of fibular anlage may contribute to the deformities in the tibia and ankle. Lengthening procedures are associated with progression of these deformities. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Exner Osteotomy and
Failures of treatment of osteoid osteoma (OO) are related to errors in exact localization and incomplete
