Appearance of Osteolysis with Melorheostosis: Redefining the Disease or a New Disorder? A Novel Case Report with Multimodality Imaging – Corrected…

May 16, 2013

Abstract: We present a case report of melorheostosis with the novel radiographic finding of underlying cortical resorption. A number of radiographic patterns of melorheostosis have been described; however, the combination of new bone formation and resorption of the original cortex appears unique. Although the presence of underlying lysis has been postulated in published studies, direct radiographic evidence of bony resorption in melorheostosis has not been reported.

Single-Event Multilevel Acute Total Correction of Complex Equinocavovarus Deformity in Skeletally Mature Patients with Spastic Cerebral Palsy…

May 13, 2013

Abstract: Complex multiplanar ankle/foot deformity as equinocavovarus is a common problem in patients with spastic cerebral palsy hemiparesis. The data from 30 consecutive patients (30 feet), treated between March 2009 and March 2010, with equinocavovarus and toe clawing secondary to spastic cerebral palsy hemiparesis, aged 16 to 18 years, were analyzed clinically and radiographically. All the patients had received conservative physiotherapy treatment and ankle/foot orthoses before undergoing combined soft tissue and bony surgical procedures performed in a single session to correct the complex toe clawing, cavus, varus, and equinus deformities.

Rerupture Rate after Early Weightbearing in Operative Versus Conservative Treatment of Achilles Tendon Ruptures: A Meta-Analysis – Corrected Proof

May 9, 2013

Abstract: Whether Achilles tendon rupture benefits from surgery or conservative treatment remains controversial. Moreover, the outcome can be influenced by the rehabilitation protocol. The goal of the present meta-analysis was to compare the rerupture rate after surgical repair of the Achilles tendon followed by weightbearing within 4 weeks versus conservative treatment with weightbearing within 4 weeks.

A Prospective Study of 20 Foot and Ankle Wounds Treated with Cryopreserved Amniotic Membrane and Fluid Allograft – Corrected Proof

May 6, 2013

Abstract: We reviewed the background information and previous clinical studies that considered the use of allogeneic amniotic tissue and fluid (granulized amniotic membrane and amniotic fluid) in the treatment of chronic diabetic foot wounds. This innovation represents a relatively new approach to wound management by delivering a unique allograft of live human cells in a nonimmunogenic structural tissue matrix.

Arthroscopic Bone Grafting of Talar Bone Cyst Using Posterior Ankle Arthroscopy – Corrected Proof

May 6, 2013

Abstract: A subchondral cyst of the talus frequently occurs with an osteochondral lesion of the talar dome. Debridement, curettage, and bone grafting through the articular defect was frequently the recommended treatment in reported studies for a massive cyst. We report a case of a massive cyst of the talar body with a small osteochondral lesion of the talar dome.
