Abstract
Clinical decision making for the management of foot deformities in children with cerebral palsy is based on the collection and integration of data from 5 sources: the clinical history, physical examination, plain radiographs, observational gait analysis, and quantitative gait analysis (which include...

Abstract
This study shows a high prevalence of spinal deformity, limb malalignment, and foot abnormality in PWS. The prevalences of musculoskeletal abnormalities were not found to be affected by age, genotype, or obesity. However, several musculoskeletal abnormalities were found to be correlated with each ot...

Abstract
The response rate was 72%; 87.5% of responders (n = 1,901) completed the alignment questions. Increased risk of isolated knee OA occurred with early adult varus (adjusted OR 5.16, 95% CI 2.87-9.41) and valgus knees (adjusted OR 3.16, 95% CI 1.04-9.64). The positive association between knee OA and to...

Abstract
A total of 230 diabetic patients (93.9% had type 2 diabetes mellitus and 6.1% had type 1) were analysed. The mean age was 67.7 years (+/- 10.8). Just under half (47.4%) were female. The mean duration of diabetes was 12.6 years (+/- 10.5) years. 70.4% of the patients had diabetic neuropathy (confiden...

Abstract
Forefoot chronic pain is a frequent problem in daily clinical practice. Mechanical pathology of the forefoot, usually called static metatarsalgia, represents the most frequent reason for consultation in pathology of the foot. The cause is a functionnal disorder or anatomic derangement of the forefoo...

Abstract
The hindfoot is the part of the foot which is proximal to the midtarsal joint. The obvious causes of pain are not considered (post-traumatic etiologies, sprains and fractures but also cutaneous lesions). The main etiologies on the subject are successively exposed by following the localization of the...

We must recommend wearing other shoes and sometimes an orthoplasty which is not covered by health insurance. Sole orthesis are quite effective for most pathologies causing pain when walking, and involving the foot sole or starting in the foot. Realised by an approved splint technician, they are cove...

We report a 36-year-old man who developed weakness of his left little finger adduction 3 years earlier. The weakness progressed to his other limbs. Examination revealed mildly high-arched feet with asymmetric weakness of ulnar-innervated muscles (left > right) and asymmetric weakness of peroneal-inn...

Evidence for preventive strategies to lessen running injuries is needed as these occur in 40%-50% of runners on an annual basis. Many factors influence running injuries, but strong evidence for prevention only exists for training modification primarily by reducing weekly mileage. Two anatomical fact...

Overall patient satisfaction was good. The results were very satisfactory in five procedures, satisfactory in ten, moderately satisfactory in two, unsatisfactory in one, and very unsatisfactory in one procedure. The AOFAS hindfoot score was on average 82.5 +/- 16. The talus-metatarsal I angle signif...

Abstract
The most common multiplanar deformity of the midfoot is pes planovalgus. Clinically, the flatfoot is characterized by a depressed or absent medial longitudinal arch accompanied by forefoot abduction and, in some cases, by supination of the forefoot and valgus angulation of the hindfoot. This article...

Skewfoot is a rare deformity characterized by forefoot adduction and hindfoot valgus. Its etiology and natural history are unknown, although congenital and syndromic forms are observed. Currently, there is no consent about the treatment of skewfoot. Due to its potential resistance to the effects of...

Abstract
We retrospectively evaluated 38 patients who had a total of 52 triple arthrodeses. The average age at the time of operation was 14.2 years and the mean followup period was 10.2 years. Results were rated good in 17 feet, fair in 28 and poor in 7. Talonavicular pseudarthrosis was observed in two feet,...

Abstract
We performed bone lengthening surgery on 12 metacarpals and 14 metatarsals of 15 patients. The mean age for metacarpal and metatarsal lengthening was 14.5 (10-21) and 17.5 (10-25) years, respectively. We used a unilateral or a circular external fixator. The mean healing index of the metacarpals and...

Mean follow-up was 9.8 years (range, 1-25). Mean AOFAS score at follow-up was 69.2/100 points (range, 14-100). Pain decreased considerably in 75% of cases, and 68% of patients recovered normal activity. The foot was aligned correctly in 67% of cases. At last follow-up, pes cavus remained undercorrec...

23 of 32 patients with flexible medial malalignment of the lesser toes II and/or III were followed up after a mean of 19 months. Medial malalignment could be reduced markedly (preoperatively 28 degrees, postoperatively 6 degrees). Four patients treated with the tendon transfer alone developed a recu...

Abstract
In comparison with the barefoot condition, orthoses increased significantly the 1st metatarsal declination angle by 1.9 degrees (p<0.01), and the Djian-Annonier angle by 1.1 degrees (p=0.02). The calcaneal inclination angle decreased significantly by an average of 3.0 degrees (p<0.01). Wearing ortho...

We analysed the functional adaptation of the first and second metatarsal bones to altered strain in flexible flatfoot. Fifty consecutive women (20-40 years of age) were enrolled: 31 patients with a flexible flatfoot and metatarsalgia (59 feet) and 19 controls with asymptomatic feet (37 feet). They w...

Both devices were effective at reducing eversion velocity and excursion. As compared to the no-orthotic condition, the custom device significantly decreased eversion velocity (P=0.03), while the semi-custom device showed a trend toward decreased eversion velocity (P=0.09). Eversion excursion was sig...

Abstract
Corrective midfoot osteotomies involve complete separation of the forefoot and hindfoot through the level of the midfoot, followed by uni-, bi-, or triplanar realignment and arthrodesis. This technique can be performed through various approaches; however, in the high-risk patient, percutaneous and m...
