Ankle Joint

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Knee Joint

Knee Joint

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris group...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Summary

This article discusses conditions leading to valgus ankle arthritis and emphasizes preventing its development through pathology correction. It also details surgical treatments for established valgus ankle arthritis.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Rheumatology
Sports Medicine

Background:

Valgus ankle arthritis, characterized by outward deviation of the ankle, can stem from various underlying pathologies and deformities.
Early identification and management of predisposing conditions are crucial for preventing the onset of valgus ankle arthritis.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline conditions predisposing to valgus ankle arthritis.
To highlight preventive strategies focusing on correcting underlying pathologies or deformities.
To review surgical interventions for treating existing valgus ankle arthritis.

Main Methods:

Literature review of conditions causing valgus ankle.
Analysis of preventive surgical and non-surgical techniques.
Description of surgical procedures for established valgus ankle arthritis.
