Calcaneal lengthening: investigation of deformity correction in a cadaver flatfoot model.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Fixed equinovarus deformities can be challenging to treat especially in medically debilitated patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate Achilles lengthening with posterior tibial tenotomy and immediate weightbearing in this difficult group of patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Thirteen extremities in...

abstract：BACKGROUND:The fibula is commonly used for bone grafts. Previous clinical and biomechanical studies have suggested that the length of the residual portion of the distal part of the fibula has an important effect on the long-term stability of the ankle joint. However, we cannot find clear-cut guidelines for the amount o...
