Introduction

Pes cavovarus is a foot deformity that can be idiopathic (I-PC) or acquired secondary to other pathology. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common adult cause for acquired pes cavovarus deformity (CMT-PC). The foot morphology of these distinct patient groups has not been previously investigated. The aim of this study was to assess if morphological differences exist between CMT-PC, I-PC and normal feet (controls) using weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT).

Methods

A retrospective analysis of WBCT scans performed between May 2013 and June 2017 was undertaken. WBCT scans from 17 CMT-PC, 17 I-PC and 17 healthy normally-aligned control feet (age-, side-, sex- and body mass index-matched) identified from a prospectively collected database, were analysed. Eight 2-dimensional (2D) and three 3-dimensional (3D) measurements were undertaken for each foot and mean values in the three groups were compared using one-way ANOVA with the Bonferroni correction.

Background: The best treatment for displaced distal radius fracture is still debated. The aim of our study is to use the PRWE and Euroqol questionnaires to look at patients function at a minimum of 1 year following distal radius fracture.

Method: 32 consecutive patients with a Colles-type fracture were treated surgically. 16 were treated with K wires and 16 underwent an open reduction and internal fixation. At a minimum of one year the PRWE and Euroqol questionnaires were filled in.

Results: Intra articular and extra articular fractures were equally distributed between the 2 groups. The Euroqol the EQVAS and PRWE scores showed no statistical difference between the 2 groups (respectively p=0.7 CI 95% -0.23 to 0.17; p=0.05 CI -30 to 0.6 and p=0.5 CI 95% -18 to 9.4).

Conclusion: Using PRWE and Euroqol, there is no short term functional difference between patients treated with closed reduction and percutaneous wire fixation or open reduction and internal fixation following a distal radius fracture.
