[Arthrodesis of the ankle joint: effect of the position of the arthrodesis on the foot. Apropos of a series of 50 cases reviewed with an average follow-up of 9 years].

UNLABELLED: A functional assessment of fifty patients after ankle arthrodesis for post traumatic arthritis was carried out by means of an extensive clinical evaluation after an average follow-up of nine years. The data on position of ankle arthrodesis and gait analysis were examined to determine the effect of arthrodesis of the ankle on the subtalar and small joints of the foot. The Duquennoy point system was used to grade the ankle clinically and a new radiological method to determine the sagittal position of the ankle arthrodesis was developed. Equinus position was related with clinical damage on sub talar joint, and anterior cavus foot (92.8 per cent). This position was related with metatarsalgia in 26.9 per cent. Calcaneus position was related with posterior cavus foot (verticalization of the calcaneus). This position was related with the best functional results on walking, jumping and running. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: this study has showed that the ideal position of fusion of the ankle was neutral or slight flexion, slight valgus angulation of the hind part of the foot and 10 degrees of external rotation.

[Lateral instability of the ankle joint (2). Active training programs can prevent surgery].

One hundred consecutive patients with chronic lateral functional instability of the ankle were treated non-operatively with physiotherapy (active range-of-motion training, strengthening exercises and co-ordination training with a tilt-board). All patients were evaluated functionally with a special rating scale, and radiologically with standardised stress radiographs measuring anterior talar translation (ATT) and talar tilt (TT). Excellent or good functional results were obtained in 49 of the patients, fair or poor in the remainder. The outcome was better in those with painful functional instability or mild mechanical instability, while those with more pronounced mechanical instability required further treatment (i e, reconstructive surgery). Of 10 patients with generalised joint laxity, only fair or poor results were obtained in seven, all of whom had mechanical instability.

[Clinico-roentgenological evaluation of persistent edema of the foot and ankle joint].

Persistent non-progressing edemas of distal parts of extremities developed after bone fractures in the lower part of the shin were studied in 12 patients. The clinicoroentgenological examination has established a substantial difference in the character of the injury and compensatory-reparative changes of the lymphatic bed in different clinical variants of the edemas.
