ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Fibrocartilaginous coalition of the third tarsometatarsal joint has been indicated as an extremely rare form of tarsal coalition in the radiological literature, and most articles concerned with tarsal coalition do not mention involvement of this joint. Only two reports written in the English language that approach this subject were found, an orthopedic report and an anthropological report. PURPOSE: To evaluate the prevalence of this finding and discuss and illustrate the radiological characteristics of this coalition. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 614 computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scans of the ankle and/or foot, acquired at a health service within a period of three months, was performed to assess the prevalence of this coalition. RESULTS: Of the examinations characterized as valid for analysis for the purposes of the study, 17 cases compatible with fibrocartilaginous coalition of the third tarsometatarsal joint were found, thus indicating an involvement of approximately 2.97% of the examined feet. CONCLUSION: Our radiological findings are typical, and the prevalence found in this study was statistically significant, being similar to that described in the anthropological report (3.2%-6.8%).

ABSTRACT

"Misdiagnosed Lisfranc injuries can be as high as 50%, leading to chronic pain, functional impairment, and posttraumatic arthritis. Subtle or incomplete lesions are the most problematic group for an adequate diagnosis. Conventional non-weight-bearing radiographs can overlook up to 30% of unstable cases. Abduction stress radiographs and anteroposterior monopodial comparative weight-bearing radiographic views are very useful to identify instability. Computed tomography gives detailed information about fracture patterns and comminution. MRI can predict instability but it is expensive and not readily available in the acute setting."

ABSTRACT

The management of Lisfranc injuries is challenging considering the broad spectrum of energy involved and highly variable clinical presentation. Despite the advances in surgical techniques, subtle Lisfranc injuries can lead to chronic pain and permanent disability. Surgical treatment is mandatory for all the unstable injuries; however, the best surgical technique remains controversial. The most predictive factor for a successful outcome is the maintenance of anatomic alignment; therefore, the selection of the appropriate surgical technique is of paramount importance. This article reviews the current treatment options and describes the selection of the surgical technique based on the different clinical presentations.

ABSTRACT

Arthrodesis of the first metatarsal-medial cuneiform articulation is a reliable and effective surgery for correction of hallux abducto valgus deformity. However, one potential relative contraindication to the procedure is the extended period of non-weightbearing immobilization that is typically associated with the postoperative course. The objective of this investigation was to perform a systematic review of the incidence of nonunion after early weightbearing in patients who underwent arthrodesis of the first metatarsal-medial cuneiform articulation for correction of a hallux abducto valgus deformity. We performed a review of electronic databases with the inclusion criteria of retrospective case series, retrospective clinical cohort analyses, and prospective clinical trials with 15 or more participants; a mean follow-up period ≥12 months; a postoperative early weightbearing protocol (defined as ≤2 weeks); a clear description of the fixation construct; and a reported incidence rate of nonunion. Eight studies met our inclusion criteria, with a total of 443 arthrodeses analyzed. Of these, 16 (3.61%) were described as developing a nonunion. This would likely be considered an acceptable rate of nonunion when considering this procedure and might indicate that the Lapidus procedure does not always require an extended period of postoperative non-weightbearing immobilization.

ABSTRACT

Las lesiones del pie son difíciles de tratar por la complejidad anatómica de la región y por su infraestimación diagnóstica y terapéutica. Por lo general, se producen por traumas de alta energía. Se presenta un paciente del sexo masculino, blanco, de 56 años de edad, que llegó al cuerpo de guardia de emergencia con múltiples traumas producto de un accidente automovilístico. Se diagnosticó una luxofractura tarsometatarsiana asociada a luxación mediotarsiana y luxación subastragalina. Con criterio de tratamiento quirúrgico de urgencia fue llevado al salón de operaciones y se le realizó la reducción cerrada de la articulación mediotarsiana y subastragalina, y la estabilización con clavo de Steimann. La evolución fue satisfactoria tras el tratamiento quirúrgico(AU)


Foot injuries are difficult to treat due to the anatomical complexity of the region and the diagnostic and therapeutic underestimation. Generally, high-energy trauma produced this kind of injuries. We present a 56 year-old, white, male patient, who arrived at the emergency room with multiple traumas resulting from a car accident. The diagnosis was a tarsometatarsal luxo-fracture associated with midtarsal dislocation and subtalar dislocation. He underwent an emergency surgical treatment to closed reduce of the midtarsal and subtalar joint, and stabilization was achieve with Steinmann Pins. The evolution was satisfactory after the surgical treatment(AU)

ABSTRACT

Background: Trauma to the canine foot may result in injury to soft tissue or bone or both. Foot injury often results in fractures and joint instability because of disruption to carpal or tarsal ligaments. Several fixation methods have been described for stabilizing tarsometatarsal arthrodesis. The aim of this paper is to report the case of a unilateral tarsometatarsal arthrodesis with use of circular skeletal fixator on the left pelvic limb of a dog. Case: A 5-year-old intact male dog weighting 25 kg was referred to the veterinary hospital with a left tarsal degloving injury. The previous history revealed that the dog had been bitten by another dog seven days prior to the referral. On physical exam it had swelling and severe pain on the left foot, crepitus of the intertarsal/tarsometatarsal region, instability, bone exposure and myiasis larvae on the wound. The dog was non-weight-bearing on the affected limb. No other abnormalities were found. Radiographs revealed it to be an open fracture of the left tarsal distal line with tarsometatarsal luxation. Adherent dressings were changed for seven days to minimize the contamination before surgery. The dog was treated by open reduction and internal fixation using a circular skeletal fixator. After general anesthesia was induced, a lateral approach to the tarsometatarsal joint was made. The tarsometatarsal joint then was exposed. Articular cartilage was removed with a pneumatic burr. Manual reduction was performed. There were placed two rings proximal to the fracture and one distal with Kirschner wires were angled 45° between them through the bone. One of them was a semi-ring in the shape of a horseshoe. The 1,5 mm Kirschner wires were tensioned by a dynamometer loaded at 30 kg. For wound closure a free skin graft from the thorax was used. Articular anchylosis was reached in three months but the implant removal was posterior to that time due to the owner's choice. Discussion: Traumatic injury is the most important cause for fracture and instability of the tarsometatarsal joint and was the cause of injury for this case. Partial arthrodesis is considered the treatment of choice for tarsal instabilities with ligament disruption. Implant problems following union can complicate arthrodeses stabilized with internal fixation, and they may require a second surgery for implant removal. In this case the size of the rings conformed well to the proximal tarsus, and allowed sufficient space for wire placement in the metatarsal bones and did not interfere with ambulation. The dog recovered good limb function soon after the surgery and articular anchylosis was reached within three months as expected. In a study three of ten dogs undergoing tarsometatarsal arthrodesis due to continued lameness after bony union, using a laterally applied plate required a second surgery for implant removal. Implant failure is a common complication of tarsocrural and tarsometatarsal arthrodeses stabilized with bone screws, Steinmann pins or plate fi xation. Tarsometatarsal partial arthrodesis with use of circular skeletal fixator is a proper option for contaminated wounds without enough skin for closure. The limiting factor is the surgeon experience for this choice of fixation, material availability and the owner's commitment with the treatment.
