    Abstract: Basic Sciences/Biologics Introduction/Purpose: Although pedobarographic measurement is increasingly used for clinical and research purposes, relatively few published studies have investigated normative data. This study examined pedobarographic findings in young healthy adults with regard to sex-related differences and correlations among measurement indices. Methods: Twenty young healthy adults (mean age 22.4 years, SD 1.2 years; 10 males and 10 females) were included. Weightbearing anteroposterior and lateral foot radiographs were taken, and dynamic pedobarographic data during treadmill walking and maximum ankle dorsiflexion were obtained. AP talo-first metatarsal angle, naviculocuboid overlap, lateral talo-first metatarsal angle, and plantar soft tissue thickness were measured on foot radiographs. Pedobarographic data including peak pressure and pressure-time integral were measured on five plantar segments: medial forefoot (MFF), lateral forefoot (LFF), medial midfoot (MMF), lateral midfoot (LMF), and heel. Results: Male and female subjects significantly differed in BMI (p 〈 0.001), AP talo-first metatarsal angle (p=0.018), soft tissue thickness under the metatarsal head (p=0.04) and calcaneal tuberosity (p 〈 0.001), maximum dorsiflexion during stance phase (p=0.041), peak pressure on the MFF (p=0.005) and LFF (p=0.004), and pressure-time integral on the MFF (p=0.018) and heel (p=0.001). Maximum dorsiflexion demonstrated significant negative correlations with pressure-time integral on the MFF (r=-0.595, p=0.007) and total pressure-time integral (r=-0.492, p=0.032). Pressure-time integral varus/valgus index was significantly correlated with pressure-time integral forefoot/heel index (r=0.472, p=0.036). Conclusion: Sex-related differences in pedobarographic examination were observed. Achilles stretching exercise was considered to reduce foot pressures, and subtalar joint was hypothesized to play an important role in pressure distribution.

    Abstract: Bunion, Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: There is a lack of quantitative studies on the progression of juvenile hallux valgus deformity. Therefore, we performed this study to estimate an annual change of radiographic indices for juvenile hallux valgus. Methods: We reviewed medical records of consecutive patients under the age of 15 with juvenile hallux valgus who underwent weight-bearing foot radiographs more than twice, and were followed over a period of one year or more. A total of 133 feet from 69 patients were included. Hallux valgus angle, hallux interphalangeal angle, intermetatarsal angle, metatarsus adductus angle, distal metatarsal articular angle, anteroposterior talo-1st metatarsal angle, anteroposterior talo-2nd metatarsal angle, and lateral talo-1st metatarsal angle were measured and were used as a study criteria. The progression rate of hallux valgus angle was adjusted by multiple factors including the use of a linear mixed model with gender and radiographic measurements as the fixed effects and laterality and each subject as the random effect. Results: Our results demonstrate that the value of hallux valgus angle on the radiographs progressed as the patients grew older. The hallux valgus angle increased by 0.8° per year (p 〈 0.001)(Figure). The distal metatarsal articular angle also increased by 0.8 per year (p=0.003). Conversely, hallux interphalangeal angle decreased by 0.2° per year (p=0.019). Progression of the intermetatarsal angle and metatarsus adductus angle with aging were not statistically significant. There was a difference in progression of radiographic indices between older patients (=10 years) and younger patients ( 〈 10 years). The hallux valgus angle increased by 1.5° per year (p 〈 0.001) in younger patients, progression of the hallux valgus angle in older patients was not statistically significant (p=0.869) as children grew up. Conclusion: These results suggest that the hallux valgus angle increased in patients with juvenile hallux valgus under 10 years old, unlike the patients aged 10 or older. We believed that our results can help surgeons to determine a treatment strategy that uses the growth potential to achieve correction of deformity such as lateral hemiepiphyseodesis of the 1st metatarsal to patients with juvenile hallux valgus.

    Abstract: Hindfoot Introduction/Purpose: Posterior tibial tendon’s condition has traditionally been evaluated using ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging, but recent advancements in radiography have increased the resolution of radiographic soft tissue images. We performed this study to examined whether the posterior tibial tendon could be screened using anteroposterior foot radiographs, based on interobserver agreement and accuracy. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated consecutive patients who underwent weight-bearing foot radiography and ultrasonography based on a suspicion of posterior tibial tendinopathy. The integrity of the posterior tibial tendon was evaluated by two orthopaedic surgeons (8 years and 3 years of experience) using foot radiographs, and scored as having normal or abnormal tendon integrity (Fig). We evaluated interobserver agreement between the two surgeons, and the ultrasonography and radiography findings were compared to evaluate diagnostic accuracy. Results: We included 21 patients with a mean age of 51.5 ± 15.7 years (5 men and 16 women). Ultrasonography revealed 4 patients with normal tendon integrity, 6 patients with tenosynovitis and no tendinopathy, 8 patients with tendinopathy and tendon continuity, and 3 patients with loss of tendon continuity. The surgeons provided consistent radiographic findings for 81.0% of the patients (17/21; kappa = 0.576, p = 0.007). Based on the ultrasonographic findings, the surgeons provided accuracies of 76.2% (16/21) and 61.9% (13/21). Conclusion: The results indicate that weight-bearing anteroposterior foot radiography can be used to evaluate posterior tibial tendon integrity, which may allow physicians to predict the prognosis of patients with PTTD, to determine the extent of surgical treatment, and to evaluate the postoperative tendon integrity.

    Abstract: Ankle, Sports Introduction/Purpose: We hypothesized that the bony configuration of the ankle could also be associated with ankle stress radiographs, in addition to ligament injury of the ankle. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between bone morphology and injured ligament on imaging studies and laxity on ankle stress radiographs in patients with lateral ankle instability. Methods: In total, 115 patients who had undergone ankle MRI, ankle radiography, and stress radiography were included. Distal tibial articular surface angle, bimalleolar tilt, medial and lateral malleolar relative length, medial malleolar slip angle, anterior inclination of the tibia, and fibular position were measured on ankle radiographs. Tibiotalar tilt angle and anterior translation of the talus were measured on ankle stress radiographs. Degree of ligament injury was evaluated on ankle MRIs. Multiple regression analysis was performed using the following independent variables: age, sex, and factors significantly associated with ankle stress view on univariate linear regression analysis. Results: Age (p = 0.041), sex (p = 0.014), degree of anterior talofibular ligament injury (p 〈 0.001), and bimalleolar tilt (p = 0.016) were correlated with tibiotalar tilt angle (Table). Younger patients demonstrated a larger tibiotalar tilt angle than older patients, and the angle decreased by 0.07° per year of age. Tibiotalar tilt angle in female patients was 2.2° larger than that in male patients. Fibular position and degree of posterior talofibular ligament injury were factors significantly related to anterior translation of the talus. Conclusion: Differences in patient characteristics might predispose ankle stress radiograph results. Comparison of both ankles on stress radiographs is superior to applying fixed numerical values to the injured side, in order to reduce the influence of patient factors.

    Abstract: Ankle, Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Several methods like cortical screw, Kirschner (K) wire have been used for stabilizing the Lisfranc joint. We performed this study to assess whether single dorsal plating can be used as an alternative treatment method for a Lisfranc injury. Methods: Patients were followed up for more than 1 year after the initial surgery.Following open reduction of the joint with a bone reduction clamp, a single dorsal plate was used to perform Lisfranc joint fixation. The plate was fixed with 2.7-mm locking screws on the first metatarsal, second metatarsal, medial cuneiform, and intermediate cuneiform. Three weeks postoperatively, the cast was removed, and patients progressively advanced to full weight bearing while wearing a postoperative shoe. The plate was removed 3 months postoperatively. One year postoperatively, weight-bearing foot radiographs and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale score were obtained. Results: Eighteen patients with a Lisfranc injury who were treated with open reduction and internal fixation using a single dorsal plate were included. The average AOFAS midfoot score for pain was 35, and the total score was 80.8 (range, 67–95). Six patients (33.3%) had an excellent outcome (score =90); eight (44.4%) had a good outcome (90 〉 score = 75); and four (22.2%) had a fair outcome (75 〉 score = 50). Radiographs during the follow-up period showed no loss of reduction or arthritic change. Screw breakage occurred in 3 cases. But the injury ultimately healed anatomically. Conclusion: Single dorsal plating can be an alternative treatment method for a Lisfranc injury, as it provides a good short-term outcome without causing further joint injury.

    Abstract: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: There have been few longitudinal studies regarding hallux valgus deformity. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the radiographic measurements associated with the progression of hallux valgus deformity during at least two years of follow-up. Methods: Seventy adult patients (mean age, 58.0 years; standard deviation [SD], 12.3 years; 13 males and 57 females) with hallux valgus who were followed-up for at least two years and underwent weight-bearing foot radiography were included. Radiographic measurements included the hallux valgus angle (HVA), hallux interphalangeal angle, intermetatarsal angle (IMA), metatarsus adductus angle, distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), tibial sesamoid position, anteroposterior (AP) talo-first metatarsal angle, and lateral talo-first metatarsal angle. Progression of hallux valgus deformity was defined as an increase of 5 degrees or more in the HVA during follow-up. Patients were divided into progressive and non-progressive groups. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors that significantly affect the progression of hallux valgus deformity. The correlation between change in HVA and changes in other radiographic indices during follow-up was analyzed. Results: Eighteen out of 70 patients showed progression of 5 degrees or more in the HVA during the mean follow-up of 47.0 months (SD, 19.8 months). The DMAA (p=0.027) and AP talo-first metatarsal angle (p=0.034) at initial presentation were found to be significant factors affecting the progression of hallux valgus deformity. Change in the HVA during follow-up was significantly correlated with changes in the IMA (r=0.423; p=0.001) and DMAA (r=0.541; p 〈 0.001). Conclusion: Special attention needs to be given to patients with pes planovalgus and increased DMAA during follow-up. Change in HVA was significantly correlated with changes in IMA and DMAA. Therefore, progression of hallux valgus deformity is considered to be closely related to the progressive instability of the first tarsometatarsal joint.
