Relapsed clubfoot is the residual deformity that remains after single or multiple surgical interventions. Severely neglected clubfoot rarely exists today in developed countries, except in some emigrants from low- and middle-income countries. Acute surgical management with corrective mid-foot osteotomy and elongation of the Achilles tendon has an excellent functional outcome. Objective: To assess the functional outcome of acute correction of neglected Talipes-quinoa-varus deformity in adults. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, hospital–based multi-centric study. Forty patients were included in this study. Midfoot osteotomy and elongation of the Achilles tendon were performed on all patients. Data was collected using a questionnaire and the functional outcome has been assessed using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Score (AOFAS). This score was measured before surgery and one year after surgery. Results: the mean age was 19.9 ± 4.7 years. Males were 25 (62.5%) and females were 15 (37.5%). The mean preoperative AOFAS score was 37.7 ± 7.1 (poor). This score improved to 80.7 ± 13.7 (good to excellent), two years after surgery. However, this indicates a significant change in the functional outcome after the operation (p value Conclusion: acute correction of neglected and relapsed TEV with elongation of the Achilles tendon and single midfoot osteotomy has excellent functional outcome as assessed by AOFAS Score. The satisfaction with this procedure is impressive. The younger age population showed better outcomes with this procedure.展开更多

Surgical correction of the deformity plays a central role in the treatment of symptomatic hallux valgus. However, more than one hundred different surgical techniques have been described. Objective: To assess the radiological outcome of hallux valgus surgical correction using a scarf and akin osteotomies. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted on 25 adult patients (36 feet). Twenty-two females and two males with hallux valgus were treated with surgical correction using a scarf and akin osteotomies. All candidates were kept on regular postoperative, scheduled clinical follow-up programs for one year and assessed radiologically. Results: Twenty-five patients (36 feet) were included in this study. The hallux valgus angle significantly shifted to the normal range (less than 15°) after surgery, and the inter-metatarsal angle also improved to the normal range (less than 9°). Conclusion: Using scarf and akin osteotomies in treating moderate and severe hallux valgus deformity provides the satisfactory radiological outcomes in form of decreasing hallux valgus angle and inter-metatarsal angle.展开更多

Objective: This study aimed to assess the functional outcomes of the patients underwent hindfoot fusion, the post-operative complications and patient’s satisfaction. Methodology: This study is a prospective cohort study was conducted in Future hospital, in Khartoum, Sudan. It involved 30 patients from July 2015-July 2022. Data was collected by the primary researcher using data collection sheet, then it was cleaned and entered into Microsoft excel data sheet and was analysed using SPSS version 28 software. Results: 33.3% of the patients are aged 51 - 60 years, and >60 years. Male: Female equals 1:1. 56.7% are for the left side, only 23.3% developed complications. 63.3% patients are fully satisfied. There is a significant correlation between the AOFAS score before and after the operation. Also, a significant correlation between the means of AOFAS score after with the complications and the satisfaction of the patients. Conclusion: Minimally invasive tibio-talo-calcaneal is an alternative procedure for the treatment of severe Charcot arthropathy of the ankle. The expected functional outcome is impressive and comparable with the open surgery. However, the post-operative complications are prevalent in 23.3% of patients. Most candidates are fully satisfied with the procedure.展开更多
