A Method for Diabetic Wound Specific Insole Design, Manufacturing and Biomechanical Validation for Better Recovery
In this study, 3 types of ethylene-vinyl acetate have been utilized to optimize the off-loading performance for pre-determined early-stage diabetic foot ulcer scenarios by means of baropodometric plantar pressure analyses and finite element method for each gait phase. The total cost of the manufacturing for this study was reduced down to $10.26 and was performed in 24.6 minutes. In addition, the offloaded pressure was increased by 2.3 times while the volume of the off-loading geometry was increased 8.12 times based on the utilized foam polymer. Consequently, improved off-loading was obtained and a standard was proposed for...

Long-term Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes Following Surgical Treatment for Ankle Fracture-Dislocations: Do poor radiographic outcomes always matter?
Conclusion The results illustrated that although post-traumatic osteoarthritis rate was high for ankle fracture-dislocation patients, surgical treatment achieved excellent functional results. Even if advanced stages of ankle arthritis according to Takakura's classification developed, patients had satisfactory clinical and functional results.PMID:38407969 | DOI:10.7547/22-225 (Source: Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association)

Salvage First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Fusion with a Three-Dimensional-Printed Implant for Osseous Defects: A Case Series
CONCLUSIONS: In revisional first metatarsophalangeal joint surgery with osseous deficits, the goal is to restore length and alignment, which improves function of the medial column. Custom 3-D-printed implants for first metatarsophalangeal joint revision can provide an opportunity for improved outcomes and healing.PMID:38194340 | DOI:10.7547/21-148 (Source: Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association)

Failed Bilateral Total Silastic First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Implant Reconstructed with Osteochondral Allograft Implantation
J Am Podiatr Med Assoc. 2023 Nov-Dec;113(6):22-072. doi: 10.7547/22-072.ABSTRACTFirst metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) arthritis is a very common form of arthritis seen in the foot. Some signs and symptoms include pain, swelling, decreased passive and active range of motion, difficulty with shoe gear, and so forth. Surgically, options for alleviating symptomatic hallux limitus and arthritis fall into two broad categories: joint sparing and joint sacrificing. In this case study, we present a patient with a bilateral failed total silastic implant of the first MPJ and our proposed revision using an osteochondral bone allograft...
