Summary
Percutaneous and minimally invasive techniques show promising success rates for treating bunionette (tailor's bunion) deformities. While results are satisfactory, further research is needed to establish a gold standard treatment.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Foot and Ankle Surgery
Background:
- Bunionette, also known as tailor's bunion, is a common foot deformity.
- Percutaneous and minimally invasive surgical techniques are increasingly explored for bunionette treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review recent literature on percutaneous and minimally invasive treatments for bunionette.
- To evaluate clinical outcomes, fusion rates, and complication rates of these techniques.
- To test the hypothesis that these methods are safe and successful.
Main Methods:
- Topical review of PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases conducted in July 2015.
- Keywords used: percutaneous, mini-invasive, minimally invasive, bunionette, tailor's bunion, treatment, surgery.
- Included studies reporting outcomes of surgical bunionette treatment.
Main Results:
- A total of 111 publications were identified; 9 articles were included in the review.
- Surgical techniques were categorized into those with and without osteotomy fixation.
- Success rates were high: 93.5% for techniques with fixation and 97.8% for techniques without fixation.
Conclusions:
- Current evidence for bunionette treatment relies on limited retrospective case series.
- No definitive gold standard technique can be established yet.
- Published results are satisfactory, but the existing literature is sparse.

01:10Ankle Joint
3.3K
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...

01:10Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula
14.0K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

01:28Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes
4.5K
The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles....

01:15Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna
10.3K
The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side...

01:09Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius
10.7K
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.

307
The diagnosis of renal calculi involves several imaging techniques, including non-contrast CT scans and ultrasound. These methods help visualize kidney stones, assess their size and location, and detect possible obstructions. Additionally, Measuring urine pH is useful for diagnosing specific stone types, such as struvite (alkaline pH) and uric acid stones (acidic pH). Cystine stones are primarily linked to cystinuria, a genetic condition. A urinalysis helps detect blood in the urine (hematuria)...
