Preliminary results on the safety and efficacy of the OssaTron for treatment of plantar fasciitis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Anatomic reduction and fixation of the syndesmosis in traumatic injuries is paramount in restoring function of the tibiotalar joint. While overcompression is a potential error, recent work has called into question whether ankle position during fixation really matters in this regard. Our study aimed to corrob...
