Over an eight-year period up to 1983, a total of 322 consecutive patients had operations for
Supination-external rotation (SER) fractures of the
From 1990 to 1994 we undertook arthroscopy of the
Endoprosthetic replacement of the distal tibia and
Injury to the perforating branch of the peroneal artery has not been reported previously as a cause of acute compartment syndrome following soft-tissue injury to the
The precise localisation of osteoarthritic changes is crucial for selective surgical treatment. Single photon-emission CT-CT (SPECT-CT) combines both morphological and biological information. We hypothesised that SPECT-CT increased the intra- and interobserver reliability to localise increased uptake compared with traditional evaluation of CT and bone scanning together. We evaluated 20 consecutive patients with pain of uncertain origin in the foot and

Tibiotalar fusion is considered to be the standard treatment for end-stage post-traumatic arthritis of the
We have evaluated prospectively the arthroscopic findings in acute fractures of the
Most posterior hindfoot procedures have been
described with the patient positioned prone. This affords excellent access
to posterior hindfoot structures but has several disadvantages for
the management of the airway, the requirement for an endotracheal
tube in all patients, difficulty with ventilation and an increased
risk of pressure injuries, especially with regard to reduced ocular
perfusion. We describe use of the ‘recovery position’, which affords equivalent
access to the posterior aspect of the
