Tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis for the management of severe ankle and hindfoot deformities.
TL;DR: Tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis using an adolescent condylar blade plate and allograft bone can be a successful procedure in the patient with severe neuropathic ankle deformity and can achieve a stable plantigrade foot for limited community ambulation with relatively few complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tibiocalcaneal Arthrodesis for Nonbraceable Neuropathic Ankle Deformity
TL;DR: Seven patients with nonbraceable, neuropathic ankle joints have been successfully treated by tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis utilizing an adolescent condylar blade plate, large cannulated AO screws, and a special cancellous allograft mixture.

Journal ArticleDOI
Symptom duration of plantar fasciitis and the effectiveness of Orthotripsy.
TL;DR: The longevity of symptoms of chronic proximal plantar fasciopathy had a minimal impact on the likelihood of a positive response to Orthotripsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of the plantaris tendon in patients sustaining subcutaneous rupture of the Achilles tendon.
TL;DR: In the population of patients who sustain this injury, the plantari is absent in 60% of patients, a statistically significant difference when compared to the absence of the plantaris tendon of less than 10% in reported cadaveric studies.
