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...

Fractures: Bone Repair

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Pediatric Orthopedics
Foot and Ankle Surgery

Background:

Flexible flatfoot is a common pediatric foot deformity.
Percutaneous arthroereisis using sinus tarsi screw implantation is a treatment option.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the pedographic outcomes of percutaneous arthroereisis with a sinus tarsi screw for flexible flatfoot in children.

Main Methods:

43 calcaneo-stop procedures in 25 children were assessed.
Evaluations included patient satisfaction, Meary's angle, and dynamic pedography.
Mean follow-up was 9.7 months in children with a mean age of 10 years.

Main Results:

High patient satisfaction (excellent/good in 95% of cases).
Significant correction of heel valgus and Meary's angle.
Pedographic analysis showed improved weight distribution to lateral foot regions.

Conclusions:

The calcaneo-stop procedure is a safe and effective treatment for severe flexible pediatric flatfoot.
Short-term results are comparable to other arthroereisis methods.
Long-term outcomes and implant removal effects require further study.
