Hindfoot Fractures: Injury Patterns and Relevant Imaging Findings.

Authors:
Edward Eddie Smitaman Michael Davis

Radiographics 2022 May-Jun;42(3):661-682. Epub 2022 Mar 11.

From the Department of Radiology, UCSD Health System, 408 Dickinson St, San Diego, CA 92103-8226 (E.S.); and Department of Radiology, UT Health Science Center, San Antonio, Tex (M.D.).

The hindfoot consists of the talus and calcaneus, spans the tibiotalar to transverse tarsal joints, and is critical for support of body weight and absorption and transfer of physiologic loads during bipedal movements. Hindfoot fractures account for approximately 17% of foot and ankle fractures, with calcaneal fractures being more common than talar fractures. Hindfoot fractures are usually caused by high-impact axial loads such as falls from heights and motor vehicle accidents, and understandably, they are often seen in patients with polytrauma. Long term, these fractures have implications in development of posttraumatic osteoarthrosis with associated pain and stiffness, affecting daily living activities. An overview of the talus and calcaneus is presented, with emphasis on fractures with articular involvement-namely, the tibiotalar and subtalar joints. Articular talar and calcaneal injuries can also alter hindfoot alignment, causing ankle and foot function abnormalities. Optimal treatment-that is, restoration of articular surfaces and hindfoot alignment followed by rigid fixation until fracture union-is dependent on an accurate understanding of the injury that is well depicted with imaging, radiography and CT in particular. The discussion of talar and calcaneal fractures includes a review of the normal anatomy, epidemiologic factors, classification systems, and imaging and pathologic-anatomic features of common injury patterns. This review is intended to aid surgical management and restoration of articular and hindfoot alignment for optimal ankle and foot function, thereby reducing patient morbidity in these often devastating injuries.

Evaluation of the hindfoot alignment before and after total knee arthroplasty.

Authors:
Yutaro Yamasaki Akira Maeyama Kotaro Miyazaki Tetsuro Ishimatsu Ichiro Yoshimura Takuaki Yamamoto

J Clin Orthop Trauma 2022 Aug 9;31:101947. Epub 2022 Jul 9.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Fukuoka University, 7-45-1 Nanakuma, Jonan-ku, Fukuoka, 810-0180, Japan.

Background: Open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) alter the ankle joint line obliquity (AJLO) to be more horizontal relative to the ground and aligns the valgus subtalar joint (SJ) neutrally. A previous study of the hindfoot alignment angle (HAA) showed that lower limb alignment after OWHTO becomes under-corrected because of abnormal compensation by the SJ. However, because TKA can exclude effects of femorotibial joint instability, analysis of a post-TKA cohort enables a more accurate evaluation of SJ compensation than analysis of a post-OWHTO cohort.

Biomechanical Characteristics of the Support Leg During Side-Foot Kicking in Soccer Players With Chronic Ankle Instability.

Authors:
Akihiro Tamura Keita Shimura Yuri Inoue

Orthop J Sports Med 2022 Jul 28;10(7):23259671221112966. Epub 2022 Jul 28.

Department of Rehabilitation, Nakabayashi Orthopaedic Clinic, Nada, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan.

Background: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) in soccer players can increase the risk of recurrent ankle varus sprains and damage the articular surface of the ankle joint, thus increasing the risk of osteoarthritis. It is important to understand the biomechanical characteristics of the support leg during kicking in soccer players with CAI.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to clarify the kinematics of the kicking motion of soccer players with CAI. Read More

Laterally Based External Fixation for Pott's Fractures.

Authors:
Jordan Vogt David Seligson Imad Abushahin Thomas Poynter

Foot Ankle Spec 2022 Aug 1:19386400221110082. Epub 2022 Aug 1.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Louisville Hospital, Louisville, Kentucky (JV, DS, IA, TP).

In this article, we describe the construction and appropriate use of a lateral-based fixator for ankle fractures. This lateral-based frame is useful for treating Pott's fractures. With lateral ankle dislocations, the lateral frame places the hindfoot in alignment with the leg. Read More

Midterm outcomes of midfoot and hindfoot arthrodesis with strut allograft for Müller-Weiss disease.

Authors:
Tung-Ying Lee Chang-Chin Wu Kai-Chiang Yang Kuang-Ting Yeh Ing-Ho Chen Chen-Chie Wang

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022 Jul 27;23(1):715. Epub 2022 Jul 27.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation, New Taipei City, 23142, Taiwan.

Background: Müller-Weiss disease (MWD), a rare dysplastic disorder of the foot, is characterized by deformity, sclerosis, and fragmentation of the lateral part of navicular bone. Arthrodesis is the mainstay treatment for MWD. Generally, arthrodesis can be achieved through internal fixation with metallic implants, and morselized chip bone may be packed into the gap for better bone union. Read More
