Hallux Rigidus with an Increased or Equal First Metatarsal Length after a Cheilectomy and First Metatarsal Shortening Osteotomy (FMSO) Using a Small Shortening Scarf: A Retrospective 7-year Clinical and Gait Analysis Follow-up
To evaluate the long-term outcomes of a combined surgical approach using cheilectomy and shortening SCARF osteotomy for moderate hallux rigidus (Coughlin grades 2-3) in active patients with a first metatarsal index equal to or longer than the second metatarsal.
Quadriceps and hamstring muscles strength differences in adolescent and adult recreational athletes 6 months after autograft bone-patellar-tendon-bone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A retrospective study
Knee muscle strength recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is crucial for a safe return to sport (RTS) but it is poorly described in the adolescent population. Therefore, we compared the knee muscle strength at 6 months post-surgery in adults and adolescents. We hypothesized a greater muscular strength in adolescents 6 months after ACLR.
