Introduction.
Objectives. The surgical challenge with severe hindfoot
Injuries to the foot in athletes are often subtle
and can lead to a substantial loss of function if not diagnosed
and treated appropriately. For these
Clinicians are often asked by patients, “When
can I drive again?” after lower limb injury or surgery. This question
is difficult to answer in the absence of any guidelines. This review
aims to collate the currently available evidence and discuss the
factors that influence the decision to allow a patient to return
to driving. There is currently insufficient evidence for any authoritative
body to determine fitness to drive. The lack of guidance could result
in patients being withheld from driving for longer than is necessary,
or returning to driving while still unsafe. Cite this article:
Isolated dislocations of the navicular are rare
Introduction. Lisfranc joint injuries are increasingly recognised in elite soccer and rugby players. Currently no evidence-based guidelines exist on timeframes for return to training and competition following surgical treatment. This study aimed to see whether return to full competition following surgery for Lisfranc

We report an audit of 208 patients with a mean age of 39 years (16 to 65) attending the Orthopaedic Assessment Unit at the Wellington Hospital between January 2006 and December 2007 with an
Introduction:. Isolated Weber B lateral malleolus fractures heal uneventfully, but concern that late subluxation may occur due to unrecognised medial ligament tearing, despite an intact mortice on initial radiographs, often results in overtreatment. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of late talar shift with nonoperative management in a cohort of patients with no initial talar shift, and also record functional outcomes at 16–28 months following
