Hallux valgus interphalangeus: reliability of radiological assessment
Hallux valgus interphalangeus (HVI) is a deformity of the first ray, characterised by valgus angulation of the distal phalanx on the proximal phalanx. It is considered present if the hallux interphalangeus angle exceeds 10 ° [1–4]. Recent epidemiological studies suggest a high prevalence of HVI in patients presenting to foot and ankle surgeons [5].

Functional treatment for acute ankle sprains: Softcast wrap versus MOK-cast. A prospective randomized single-center trial
Acute lateral ankle sprains are the single most common sports injury accounting for 2 –6% of overall emergency department presentations [1,2]. Roughly half of all acute ankle sprains are due to exercise and they account for 19–23% of all sports injuries [2]. Approximately 600,000 acute ankle sprains occur in the Netherlands every year [3]. The estimated total annual cost to socie ty adds up to 600 million Euro in the Netherlands alone [1]. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Radiological outcome of calcaneo-cuboid-cuneiform osteotomies for planovalgus feet in cerebral palsy children: Relationship with pedobarography
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a major cause of childhood disability. Planovalgus foot (PVF) deformity is commonly encountered in CP patients. Although in the normal population flexible flatfoot is considered a normal variant, this is not the situation in CP where children with PVF will have a progressive deformity that frequently leads to foot pain, and gait compromise [1]. In a population study, feet were the most common reported site of pain in CP children; particularly in good ambulators [2]. Several studies confirmed that PVF deformity whether neuromuscular or idiopathic will reduce ankle and midfoot power, with additional in...

Isokinetic functional outcomes of open versus percutaneous repair following Achilles tendon tears
Rupture of the Achilles tendon (AT) is frequent in young recreational athletes, with an incidence ranging from 6 to 18 per 100,000 per year [1,2]. The rupture does not occur in healthy tendons, and profound clinically asymptomatic tendinopathy changes are present [3]. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Influence of investigator experience on reliability of adult acquired flatfoot deformity measurements using weightbearing computed tomography
Adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) is a complex, 3-dimensional foot deformity involving failure of several static and dynamic biomechanical stabilizers [1]. Loss of the medial longitudinal arch, hindfoot valgus, and mid-/forefoot abduction are the main components of the deformity [2]. The posterior tibialis tendon (PTT) is the primary dynamic stabilizer of the medial longitudinal arch, and its dysfunction is commonly associated with AAFD [3]. Some authors consider AAFD a consequence of PTT dysfunction [4,5]. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Clinical and radiological outcomes after Weil osteotomy compared to distal metatarsal metaphyseal osteotomy in the treatment of metatarsalgia —A prospective study
Static metatarsalgia of the forefoot is a frequent condition and is in many cases a sequelae to first ray deficiency. Metatarsalgia means pain and tenderness in the forefoot and below the metatarsal heads. There are many causes of metatarsalgia, and it can be difficult to treat adequately. Prevalence of metatarsalgia is approximately 10% in a population, with a female preponderance [1]. First line treatment of metatarsalgia is non-operative with orthotics or cushioning, but when non-operative management fails, surgery may be indicated [2]. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Scarf versus long chevron osteotomies for the treatment of hallux valgus: A prospective randomized controlled study
More than 130 operations have been described for the treatment of hallux valgus. This huge number means that no single procedure can address all cases, and treatment has to be tailored according to each specific patient ’s needs and peculiarities. Surgery aims not only to the aesthetic correction of the deformity, but also to a functional painless foot. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)
