The term hallux varus refers to medial deviation of the great toe. Hallux varus has variable degrees of severity, symptomatology, and etiology. Causes range from the most common iatrogenic postoperative variety to idiopathic, rheumatic, and posttraumatic (tear of the hallux lateral collateral ligament) forms. Flexible hallux varus is a common...

A brief overview of normal age-related angulation changes in the knee joint helps improve understanding the disease process. A pronounced varus angulation is seen in newborns and in children younger than 1 year. Varus angulation...

Hallux varus is most commonly due to over-correction of hallux valgus. The following technical errors predispose to over-correction:
* over-release of the lateral capsule of the 1st MTP joint
* over-resection of the medial eminence of the 1st MT head
*...

Torn Collateral Tested in Flexion:
- when tested in flexion which relaxes posterior capsule, same ligamentous laxity will result in a much greater degree of instability;
- at 30 deg flexion, the cruciates...

ALLAN M. BOIKE GLORIA CHRISTIN Hallux varus resulting from both iatrogenic and idio- pathic causes has been reported throughout the po- diatric and orthopedic literature. Although hallux varus acquired as a complication of bunion surgery occurs much more frequently, those unique cases of congenital deformity may occasionally present to a...

Definition Knee osteotomy is surgery that removes a part of the bone of the joint of either the bottom of the femur (upper leg bone) or the top of the tibia (lower leg bone) to increase the stability of the knee. Osteotomy redistributes the weight-bearing force on the knee by cutting... Expert

Medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injuries of the knee are common. The MCL and LCL provide restraint to valgus and varus angulation of the knee respectively. The MCL has both superficial and deep components. The superficial MCL fibers attach to the medial femoral epicondyle proximally and...

Hallux valgus is considered to be a medial deviation of the first metatarsal and lateral deviation and/or rotation of the hallux with or without medial soft tissue enlargement of the first metatarsal head. This condition can lead...

Hallux valgus (HV), with its accompanying bunion, is a common deformity of the forefoot. Understanding and characterizing each component of the deformity is the key to treating it successfully. Many treatments have been proposed; the best choices are those that directly...

- PreOp Planning for Arthrodesis:
- Discussion:
- arthrodesis provides potential of a painless, stable base of support but it does so at the expense of knee motion;

Although several variations exist, the classic definition of turf toe is a hyperdorsiflexion injury of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. Since approximately the 1980s, turf toe has received increased attention in the media because of its effect on college-level and professional athletes.

This chapter presents aspects of the anatomy and kinematics of the knee as they specifically relate to total knee arthroplasty. It is not intended to be an encyclopedic presentation replacing various anatomy texts or other articles on these topics. In fact, it is suggested that this material be read while...

A triple arthrodesis consists of the surgical fusion of the talocalcaneal (TC), talonavicular (TN), and calcaneocuboid (CC) joints in the foot. The primary goals of a triple arthrodesis are to relieve pain from arthritic, deformed, or unstable joints. Other important goals are the correction of deformity and creation of a...
