5 Surgeries Used to Treat Ankle Arthritis
Ankle arthritis is a condition in which the cartilage of the ankle joint deteriorates, causing pain and restricting movement. Progressive arthritis can lead to bone cysts and the formation of bone spurs (osteophytes). When conservative therapies—such as ankle braces, cushioned insoles, anti-inflammatory drugs, cortisone injections, and physical therapy—fail to provide relief, surgery may be considered if the pain and loss of mobility seriously impair your quality of life.
Endoscopic-Assisted Fibula Reduction With Full Percutaneous Fixation of Ankle Fracture Dislocation
Ankle fracture is one of the most commonly encountered fractures. Open reduction and internal fixation is the gold standard of treatment. However, minimally invasive fixation of ankle fracture is gaining popularity among foot and ankle surgeons as the result of recent advances in ankle arthroscopic techniques. Despite this, there are limited reports on endoscopic assessment of fibula fracture.
Predicting surgical site infections after open reduction and internal fixation for ankle fractures
Surgical site infections (SSI) are one of the more severe complications following ankle surgery. It is associated with worse outcomes and re-admissions. Therefore, identification of risk factors is essential. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for SSI in patients undergoing surgery for ankle fractures.
Foot Anatomy and Causes of Pain
The foot is a complex structure made up of 28 bones, 33 joints, 19 muscles, over 100 tendons and ligaments, and more than 200,000 different nerve endings. These work together to allow you to walk, run, maintain balance, absorb impact, and bear upper body weight.
9 Best Tibialis Anterior Exercises to Improve Drop Foot
Foot drop is largely due to the overuse of the anterior tibial tendon, particularly in sports that require quick starts or stops or regular running or walking up and down hills. Strengthening exercises can help make the ankle stronger while stretching exercises can improve the range of motion of your ankle while walking, running, jumping, climbing, or even standing on your toes.
