Tibiotalar arthrodesis in the rheumatoid foot.
Clinical orthopaedics and related research, 1998Co-Authors: Greta Dereymaeker, Peter Van Eygen, R Driesen, Alex De FermAbstract:The results of 14 open ankle arthrodeses in 13 patients with rheumatoid arthritis are reviewed. Ten arthrodeses were treated with Charnley compression clamps (six of these were combined with a fibular strut graft). Three had cannulated screws and one had a fibular strut graft and a short leg Walking Cast. The mean followup time was 41.2 months. There were five nonunions and one delayed wound healing. The results of the patients treated with fibular strut grafts are far better than the results in patients treated with open ankle arthrodesis without grafting procedure. This seems a promising technique in a patient population with rheumatoid arthritis.

Late results of surgical repair in recent ruptures of the lateral ligament of the ankle
Injury, 1997Co-Authors: Z. Agoropoulos, George Papachristou, N. Efstathopoulos, C. KokoroghiannisAbstract:Between 1979 and 1994, 75 patients underwent primary repair of a Grade III rupture of the lateral ligament of the ankle. The operation was indicated after the demonstration of ankle instability on stress X-rays by anterior displacement of the talus by more than 8 mm or/and a talar tilt of more than 10 degrees. The patients were either young or engaged in sports activities or physically demanding jobs. An end-to-end suture of the torn ligament was undertaken under general anaesthesia. A non-weight-bearing Cast was used for the first 2 weeks, followed by a Walking Cast until 6 weeks postoperatively. Sixty-one patients were followed up for 1-15 years (mean 10.3 years). At follow-up all but one patient had returned to their pre-injury level of activity without complaint or restriction.

use of a lateral offset short leg Walking Cast before high tibial osteotomy
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2003Co-Authors: B. Cole, Sudeep Taksali, Michelle Dimasi, Brooke Hingtgen, Bernard R. Bach, Kevin B. Freedman, Debra E. HurwitzAbstract:The clinical results after high tibial osteotomy for the treatment of symptomatic varus gonarthrosis are unpredictable. Although preoperative gait analysis has been shown to be useful in predicting successful outcome after high tibial osteotomy, there are no readily available preoperative clinical tests for predicting success. The authors did a study to determine the effects of an offset short-leg Walking Cast as a potential predictor of clinical success after high tibial osteotomy. Specifically, the authors evaluated the effect of an offset short-leg Walking Cast on pain relief and changes in the peak external adduction moments in patients with symptomatic varus gonarthrosis indicated for high tibial osteotomy. Nineteen consecutive patients indicated for high tibial osteotomy were enrolled and completed the study. All patients had preCast gait analysis to determine baseline parameters. Immediately after gait analysis, a short-leg lateral offset Walking Cast was applied and worn for 3 days to allow time for adaptation. Gait analysis then was repeated. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index pain scores were obtained before and after the Cast was applied. The Cast resulted in a mean reduction in pain of 53%, and a mean reduction in the peak external adduction moment of 36 % in the 17 of 19 patients who tolerated the Cast. The reduction in pain was correlated with the reduction in the peak adduction moment (r = 0.63). The authors conclude that an offset short-leg Walking Cast results in pain reduction that correlates with changes in external adduction moments about the knee. Therefore, an offset short-leg Walking Cast may prove to be an effective tool for predicting patients who ultimately will benefit from valgus high tibial osteotomy.
