  • If you have a loose ankle joint seek professional care, wear a brace that is comfortable and protective, go for flatter shoes, and stretch out before your WOD. (321gomd.com)
  • There is no perfect brace and what suits one ankle may not suit another person's ankle. (ssmc.com.au)
  • The physical outline of the ankle (bony vs rounded), the sport and type of foot- wear will all be factors in deciding the most effective brace. (ssmc.com.au)

  • A chronic "ankle" injury should prompt evaluation for other conditions, such as talar dome lesion. (aafp.org)
  • Characteristic spurs or "exostoses" at the anterior distal tibia and dorsal talar neck have long been observed in athletes with anterior ankle pain and limited motion. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The ankle complex (Figure 1 ) mainly formed by the ankle (or tibiotalar) and subtalar (or talocalcanear) joints plays a fundamental role in the human locomotor system, being involved in virtually every locomotion activity. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Taking intraoperative images of the contralateral ankle for comparison purposes can be useful to ensure that an anatomical reduction of the injured ankle is achieved. (aofoundation.org)
  • Twenty patient who had undergone unilateral fibula harvest with normal contralateral ankle were identified. (usm.my)
  • A high arched foot (subtle cavus) has the opposite loading pattern: traction forces on the lateral aspect of the ankle and compression forces on the medial ankle. (orthopaedia.com)
  • Tenderness and swelling are noted along the lateral aspect of the ankle inferior and anterior to the tip of the lateral malleolus. (orthopaedicclinic.com.sg)
  • Pain and swelling occur first at the injury site, then often extend diffusely around the ankle. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Patients with ankle fractures may have variable findings on physical examination. (wikipedia.org)
  • Risk factors which predispose patients to a higher risk of ankle fractures include: osteoporosis, diabetes, and obesity (Strauss et al, 2011). (mynursingpaper.com)
  • Generally, patients with ankle fractures present with pain, swelling, deformity, and an inability to bear weight on the affected joint (Strauss et al, 2011). (mynursingpaper.com)
  • Identifying and managing ankle fractures in older patients. (mynursingpaper.com)
  • Patients can have ankle pain for a variety of reasons. (mynursingpaper.com)
  • Amongst multiply injured patients ankle fractures are prognostically important, being related to poor functional outcomes. (ankleinfo.net)
  • They reviewed 163 patients with stable ankle fractures over a period of 8 years. (ankleinfo.net)
  • The distance of the tips of lateral melleolus and the tips of medial melleolus were calculated and the tilting angle of the residual distal fibula were measured Mazur's ankle score shows 15(75%) patients has excellence outcome ( scoring mark 90 and above) and 5(15%) patients had good outcome (scoring mark from 79 to 89), none of them had fair or poor results.

  • The purpose of this case series is to present our successful experiences and positive results using distraction arthroplasty to treat PTOA in the ankle, subtalar, first metatarsophalangeal, and second tarsometatarsal joints, and to present distraction arthroplasty as a viable alternative to invasive joint sacrificing procedures such as arthrodesis or arthroplasty.
