  • The Patellofemoral Joint Alignment in Patients with Symptomatic Accessory Navicular Bone
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Firenze University Press: E-Journals IJAE Vol. 121, n. 2: 148-158, 2016 ITALIAN JOURNAL OF ANATOMY AND EMBRYOLOGY Research article - Basic and applied anatomy The patellofemoral joint alignment in patients with symptomatic accessory navicular bone Heba M. Kalbouneh1,*, Abdullah O. Alkhawaldah2, Omar A. Alajoulin2, Mohammad I. Alsalem1 1 Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan 2 Foot and Ankle Orthopedic Clinic, King Hussein Medical Center, Amman, Jordan Abstract Quadriceps angle (Q angle) provides useful information about the alignment of the patellofem- oral joint. The aim of the present study was to assess a possible link between malalignment of the patellofemoral joint and symptomatic accessory navicular (AN) bone as an underlying cause in early adolescence using Q angle measurements. This study was performed on patients presenting to the Foot and Ankle Clinic at the Jorda- nian Royal Medical Services because of pain on the medial side of the foot that worsened with activities or shoe wearing, with no history of knee pain, between September 2013 and April 2015. The Q angle was measured using a goniometer in 27 early adolescents aged 10-18 years diagnosed clinically and radiologically with symptomatic AN bone, only seven patients had associated pes planus deformity; the data were compared with age appropriate normal arched feet without AN. Navicular drop test (NDT) was used to assess the amount of foot pronation. The mean Q angle value among male and female patients with symptomatic AN with/with- out pes planus was significantly higher than in controls with normal arched feet without AN (p<0.05).

  • Navicular Disease Q&A
    9616 W. Titan Rd, Littleton, CO 80125 ~ (303) 791-4747 ~ Fax (303) 791-4799 Email: [email protected] Web: www.coequine.com Navicular Disease Q&A Navicular disease. Two words horse owners really do not want to hear from their veterinarians. This chronic degenerative condition is one of the most common causes of forelimb lameness in horses. What are the facts about this disease? Dr. Barbara Page has answered some common questions about this syndrome below. Q: What exactly is navicular disease? A: This disease is an inflammatory condition involving all or some of the following anatomical parts of the foot: the navicular bone, the navicular ligaments, the navicular bursa, and the vascular system of the navicular bone. This disease is often more accurately termed caudal heel pain. Q: Could you describe these structures? A: The navicular bone, also called the distal sesamoid bone, is a boat-shaped bone that is located behind the coffin bone. Navicular ligaments, fibrous connective tissue, serve to keep the navicular bone in alignment with other structures of the foot and help the joints within the foot move properly. The navicular bursa is the fluid filled sac that helps to protect the fragile structures within the foot from friction. With out this, severe bursa pain would result. When discussing the vascular system of the navicular bone we are simply referring to the blood supply in this area. Q: What actually causes a horse to develop navicular disease? A: The exact cause is unknown, however, conformation, geographical location, age, heredity and use all may play a part.

The patient of Pennsylvania progressed to full painless weight bearing on each extremity by four months post operatively. This patient’s atypical presentation of a rare disease was well-treated with the application of orthoplastic tools and principles to promote return of function and avoidance of early arthrodesis procedure. Figure 1. Early diagnostic bilateral foot weight-bearing x-rays, 18 months pre-op. Case A 17-year-old male with a history of bilateral Kohler’s disease with 4 years of mild bilateral foot pain (Figure 1) presented to outpatient clinic with a 5-day history of severe right foot pain that began after an attempted acrobatic maneuver. Radiographs demonstrated a chronic appearing fracture of the right tarsal navicular with evidence of osteonecrosis of his navicular. (Figure 2) The prognosis, treatment, and challenge of Kohler’s disease will be discussed later. In order to address the patient’s acute issue while minimizing the potential for failure of intervention it was recommended that patient undergo open reduction and internal fixation of his right tarsal navicular with debridement of necrotic bone with insertion of a medial femoral condyle vascularized bone graft.

The mismatch can arise from subtle morphologic alterations in the anatomy or orientation of the ball-and-socket components (for example, a bony prominence at the head-neck junction or acetabular over-coverage) with articular cartilage damage initially occurring from abutment of the femoral neck against the acetabular rim, typically at the anterosui per or aspect of the acetabulum. Although hip joints can possess the morphologic features of FAI without symptoms, FAI may become pathologic with repetitive movement and/or increased force on the hip joint. High-demand activities may also result in pathologic impingement in hips with normal morphology. s It ha been proposed that impingement with damage to the labrum and/or acetabulum is a causative factor in the development of hip osteoarthritis, and that as many as half of cases currently categorized as primary osteoarthritis may have an etiology of FAI.

  • Radionuclide Bone Scintigraphy in Sports Injuries
    Radionuclide Bone Scintigraphy in Sports Injuries Hans Van der Wall, MBBS, PhD, FRACP,* Allen Lee, MBBS, MMed, FRANZCR, FRAACGP, DDU,† Michael Magee, MBBS, FRACP,* Clayton Frater, PhD, ANMT, BHSM,† Harindu Wijesinghe, MBBS, FRCP,‡ and Siri Kannangara, MBBS, FRACP†,§ Bone scintigraphy is one of the mainstays of molecular imaging. It has retained its relevance in the imaging of acute and chronic trauma and sporting injuries in particular. The basic reasons for its longevity are the high lesional conspicuity and technological changes in gamma camera design. The implementation of hybrid imaging devices with computed tomography scanners colocated with the gamma camera has revolutionized the technique by allowing a host of improvements in spatial resolution and anatomical registration. Both bone and soft-tissue lesions can be visualized and identified with greater and more convincing accuracy. The additional benefit of detecting injury before anatomical changes in high-level athletes has cost and performance advantages over other imaging modalities. The applications of the new imaging techniques will be illustrated in the setting of bone and soft-tissue trauma arising from sporting injuries. Semin Nucl Med 40:16-30 © 2010 Elsevier Inc.

  • Physicians As Assistants at Surgery: 2016 Update
    Physicians as Assistants at Surgery: 2016 Update Participating Organizations: American College of Surgeons American Academy of Ophthalmology American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery American Association of Neurological Surgeons American Pediatric Surgical Association American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons American Society of Plastic Surgeons American Society of Transplant Surgeons American Urological Association Congress of Neurological Surgeons Society for Surgical Oncology Society for Vascular Surgery Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Physicians as Assistants at Surgery: 2016 Update INTRODUCTION This is the seventh edition of Physicians as Assistants at Surgery, a study first undertaken in 1994 by the American College of Surgeons and other surgical specialty organizations. The study reviews all procedures listed in the “Surgery” section of the 2016 American Medical Association’s Current Procedural Terminology (CPT TM). Each organization was asked to review new codes since 2013 that are applicable to their specialty and determine whether the operation requires the use of a physician as an assistant at surgery: (1) almost always; (2) almost never; or (3) some of the time. The results of this study are presented in the accompanying report, which is in a table format. This table presents information about the need for a physician as an assistant at surgery. Also, please note that an indication that a physician would “almost never” be needed to assist at surgery for some procedures does NOT imply that a physician is never needed. The decision to request that a physician assist at surgery remains the responsibility of the primary surgeon and, when necessary, should be a payable service.
