Abstract The International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) has published
evidence‐based guidelines on the prevention and management of diabetic foot disease …

Background and aim of the work: The calcaneus, the more lower bone of the body, has the
task of supporting the axial load from the weight of the body. Calcaneal fractures represent …

The differential diagnosis for heel pain is broad but primarily involves abnormalities of the
Achilles tendon, calcaneus, and plantar fascia. Achilles tendon disorders include tendinosis …

The assessment of bone mainly relies on standard radiographs, CT, MRI, and bone
scintigraphy depending on the anatomic region complexity and clinical scenario. Ultrasound …

Objective: To describe the evaluation, management and recovery time of hallux sesamoid
fractures in young athletes. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed in a large …

Bone stress injuries (BSIs) are a frequent finding in athletes, particularly of the foot and
ankle. A BSI is caused by recurring microtrauma to the cortical or trabecular bone exceeding …

Navicular stress fractures are multifactorial injuries due to chronic overload on the navicular,
particularly in young athletes. The navicular is subject to unique stresses and has a complex …

Stress fractures are a consequence of repeated submaximal loads with inadequate time for
recovery and biologic repair or remodelling. The foot and ankle complex (FAC) represents a …

Objective The goal of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of bimalleolar ankle
fractures is to reconstitute ankle anatomy. The most commonly used radiological parameters …

This article reviews the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the normal anatomy
and various pathologic conditions of the ankle and foot commonly encountered in clinical …
