Background: Calcaneal fractures are associated with substantial morbidity and socioeconomic impact, frequently leading to limited functional outcome and high economic costs. The Oxford foot model (OFM) has been reported as a valid addition to the biomechanical examination of the foot.

Background: The optimal surgery for reducing pressure under the second metatarsal head to treat metatarsalgia is unknown. We tested our hypothesis that a proximal oblique dorsiflexion osteotomy of the second metatarsal would decrease second-metatarsal plantar pressures in a cadaver model with varyin...

Background: Rotational ankle fractures often have unstable syndesmotic injuries that require reduction and stabilization. Multiple studies have focused on methods to assess syndesmotic reduction; however, the clinical importance of anatomic syndesmotic reduction remains unclear.

Purpose To report a series of 6 radiocarpal avulsion amputations in 5 patients.

Abstract ¤' Periprosthetic elbow infections rarely involve systemic symptoms such as fever or malaise. ¤' Unlike tests for periprosthetic hip...

Purpose To describe our institution s experience with complications following partial and total wrist arthroplasty (TWA).

Purpose To describe clinically apparent motor and sensory deficits in a cohort of 11 patients with isolated injury of the median nerve above the elbow and compare them against similar cases reported in the literature.

Purpose To report on union rates and times for a cohort of acute nondisplaced or minimally displaced proximal pole fractures evaluated with serial computed tomography (CT) scans.

The importance of coordinated, normal scapulothoracic motion in facilitating full, pain-free motion of the shoulder complex has been increasingly studied over the past decade, leading to renewed interest in scapular-based reconstructions to improve shoulder girdle motion through the use of muscle ad...

Background: Shoulder disorders are a common cause of disability and pain. The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a frequently employed and previously validated measure of shoulder pain and disability. Although the SPADI has high reliability and construct validity, greater differences betw...
