Filter by:A case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Ankle Spine Syndrome or "RAFFET Syndrome II". This syndrome was reported in 6 patients (2 males and 4 females) out of 1000 patients with a history of chronic ankle injuries affecting their calf muscles' strength throughout the last 3 years. The patients suffered from unresolved CLBP with radiculopathy contralateral to their calf muscle atrophy (i.e., an ipsilateral calf muscle weakness induces contralateral lumbar radiculopathy) that did not respond to physical therapy or any medication for long.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Cetilar®
Over the course of a year from the start of the research study, twenty subjects will be randomized evenly into one of two groups after an informed consent is obtained: a traditional tight rope fixation group or a tight rope fixation with an anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) repair augmentation with an internal brace group. Subjects in both groups will acquire a bilateral WBCT pre-operatively and 6 weeks post-operatively at Atlantic Orthopaedic Specialists office. A within group statistical analyses will compare the volume of the syndesmosis acquired by the WBCT at 6 weeks.
This study intends to investigate the negative emotions, fear-avoidance beliefs, and quality of life in patients with chronic ankle sprains to explore the relationship between negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, fear-avoidance beliefs, and their impact on quality of life.
This study is a post-market clinical follow-up conducted in order to collect long-term data on safety and performance of the EasyMove prosthesis, which is intended to be implanted in case of total ankle replacement, when used in real life conditions according to the instructions for use.
The purpose of this research study is to examine the efficacy of non-invasive brain stimulation in addition to balance exercise for chronic ankle instability (CAI), a condition that develops following an initial ankle sprain, usually because of loose or unstable ankle joints.
This study applies 3D-printed customized guide plate in assisting the accurate drilling of Kirschner wire in ankle arthrodesis. This technique can shorten the operation time, reduce the intra-operative radiation, and do not affect the surgical outcome.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of pain guided early weight bearing as a means to enhance the outcome of acute lateral ankle sprain. Half of the participants will receive advice and instructions in pain guided early weight bearing plus a written home-based exercise program, while the other half will receive advice and instructions following standard operating procedures at site.
To compare the results of multi-position MRI scans for ankle ligaments and tendons to clarify how to obtain imaging data of different ankle ligaments and define severity of injuries to calculate the rate of correct diagnosis, thereby developing a reasonable surgical treatment in clinical practice.
Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) and chronic ankle instability (CAI) are common musculoskeletal injuries that are a result of inversion injury during sport. The midfoot is frequently involved during inversion injury, is often overlooked during clinical examination, and maybe contributory to the development of CAI. The purpose of this study is to investigate multisegmented foot motion using a motion capture system, clinical joint physiological and accessory motion, and morphologic foot measurements in recreationally active men and women with and without a history of lateral ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability. Additionally, the effects of a joint mobilization intervention in patients with diminished multisegmented foot motion and intrinsic foot strengthening in healthy individuals will be investigated.
