Reliability of measurements assessing the Lisfranc joint using weightbearing computed tomography imaging.
Subtle Lisfranc joint injuries remain challenging to diagnose in clinical practice. Although of questionable accuracy, bilateral weightbearing radiographs are considered the current gold standard to assess these injuries. However, weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT), which provides clearer visualization of bony landmarks, can also be used for evaluation. This study aims to design a protocol that reliably measures the distance between the medial cuneiform (C1) and second metatarsal (M2) to assess the Lisfranc joint using WBCT imaging. ⋯ Measuring the C1-M2 joint space with coronal WBCT imaging through a protocol that localizes the ILL is reproducible, simple, and can potentially be utilized clinically to evaluate the Lisfranc joint.

Meta AnalysisThe outcomes of subtalar arthroereisis in pes planus: a systemic review and meta-analysis.
Subtalar arthroereisis has been increasingly accepted as a solution to manage symptomatic pes planus. However, despite the recent developments related to arthroereisis, no other published literature has aimed to review the outcomes in paediatric patients since 2010. This systematic review and meta-analysis, therefore, aims to evaluate the current outcomes of subtalar arthroereisis in the treatment of symptomatic pes planus among the paediatric population. ⋯ Subtalar arthroereisis could serve as a procedure to correct radiological abnormalities, as well as relieve pain in selected patients with symptomatic pes planus.

Comparative StudyA prospective, comparative study of subacromial corticosteroid injection and subacromial corticosteroid injection plus suprascapular nerve block in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
Efforts are recently focused on the management of shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) with a conservative and targeted approach because of its psychosocial impact, reduction in the quality of life, the cost to the economy and its negative effect on daily activities. Therefore, many studies have been designed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of different treatments. The main purpose of this study was to identify the effect of combination of subacromial corticosteroid injection (SCI) and suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) on shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS). ⋯ The combination of SCI and SSNB seems to produce the long-term effect in pain relief and functional improvement.

Comparative StudyMid-term clinical outcome comparison of long-stemmed monopolar osseointegrated and short-stemmed bipolar radial head prostheses.
Comparative data to guide implant choice for radial head replacements are lacking. Here, we compared the clinical results achieved using two different types of radial head prostheses. ⋯ Level III Retrospective comparative treatment study.
