Summary
Surgical correction of cavus foot deformities can be challenging. This article offers a framework for managing mild to moderate cavus, detailing a midfoot osteotomy-arthrodesis for moderate cases.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Foot and ankle reconstruction
- Deformity correction
Background:
- Cavus foot deformity presents surgical decision-making challenges.
- Distinguishing between osteotomy and arthrodesis is often unclear.
- A structured approach is needed for managing cavus deformities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a management framework for mild to moderate cavus deformities.
- To detail a surgical technique for moderate cavus correction.
- To highlight the utility of midfoot osteotomy-arthrodesis.
Main Methods:
- Development of a clinical decision-making framework.
- Detailed description of a surgical approach for moderate cavus.
- Emphasis on midfoot osteotomy-arthrodesis as a key technique.
Main Results:
- A systematic approach can guide surgical choices for cavus deformities.
- Midfoot osteotomy-arthrodesis is presented as an effective method for moderate cavus.
- The described technique aims for successful deformity correction.
Conclusions:
- A clear framework aids in managing cavus foot deformities.
- Midfoot osteotomy-arthrodesis offers a viable solution for moderate cavus.
- This approach can lead to improved patient outcomes.

01:28Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes
4.0K
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....

01:23Design Example: Deciding Thickness of Lubricating Fluid in a Shaft
334
Effective lubrication between a rotating shaft and its bearing housing is essential in rotating machinery to minimize friction, wear, and energy loss. With carefully controlled thickness and viscosity, the lubricant layer prevents metal-to-metal contact, ensuring smooth operation.
To calculate the required thickness of the lubricant layer, the tangential velocity at the shaft's surface must first be determined. This velocity is calculated by converting the rotational speed to angular velocity...

02:01Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

02:06Social Exchange Theory

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.
