Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical Rating Systems for the Ankle-Hindfoot, Midfoot, Hallux, and Lesser Toes
Harold B. Kitaoka,Ian J. Alexander,Robert S. Adelaar,James A. Nunley,Mark S. Myerson,Melanie Sanders +5 more
TL;DR: Four rating systems were developed by the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society to provide a standard method of reporting clinical status of the ankle and foot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanical evaluation of longitudinal arch stability.
TL;DR: Plantar fascia was a major factor in maintenance of the medial longitudinal arch, and its division in the cadaveric feet decreased arch stiffness by 25%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical results of the Mayo total ankle arthroplasty.
Harold B. Kitaoka,Gary L. Patzer +1 more
TL;DR: On the basis of these findings, ankle arthroplasty with a constrained Mayo implant for rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthrosis of the ankle is not recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plantar Fasciotomy for Intractable Plantar Fasciitis: Clinical Results and Biomechanical Evaluation*:
TL;DR: Dynamic force-plate studies showed differences in peak vertical, fore-aft, and lateralmedial forces between patients and matched controls, and more rapid progression of weightbearing along the longitudinal axis of the foot during stance phase in patients indicated avoidance of heel loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus treated non-operatively. Clinical results and analysis of motion and ground-reaction and temporal forces.
TL;DR: Twenty-seven patients who had a unilateral displaced intra-articular fracture of the calcaneus were managed with a cast instead of with reduction or an operation, and most had a residual functional deficit.
