In recent years, orthopaedic medicine has focused on therapies that stimulate the body’s natural healing. One of the most promising is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which has gained international attention for treating joint and tendon problems.
MRI analysis of distal tibiofibular joint and ankle anatomy to assess lateral ankle sprain risk
To evaluate the risk of lateral ankle sprain (LAS) related to bone anatomical variations of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (DTS) and the height of both malleolar articular surfaces.
What You Should Know About the Forefoot
You may be surprised to learn that your forefoot carries and balances nearly half of the body's total weight, and is designed to handle significant force and wear-and-tear.
Ankles might point the way to cartilage repair in osteoarthritis
The ankle's ability to regenerate cartilage uses the same mechanisms that enable some animals to grow new limbs, and it could be harnessed to repair cartilage in knees and hips hobbled by osteoarthritis.
Bioresorbable hyaluronic acid alginate hydrogel use in total ankle arthroplasty to control post-operative scarring
Maintenance of ankle joint range of motion has been shown to lead to lower pain and higher patient satisfaction following ankle replacement. Presented in this study is the use of a hyaluronic acid alginate hydrogel at the time of index surgery to decrease the risk of peri-prosthetic scarring.
