One-Stage Metatarsal Interposition Lengthening With an Autologous Fibula Graft for Treatment of Brachymetatarsia
Skin temperature in youth soccer players with functional equinus and nonâequinus condition after running
Objectives
To check how a thermal IR camera can check skin temperature in gastrocnemiusâsoleus equinus condition and nonâgastrocnemiusâsoleus condition in youth soccer players and thus detect association between the extensibility of the triceps surae (with gastrocnemiusâsoleus equinus and nonâgastrocnemiusâsoleus equinus) and the muscle temperature pattern.
Design
A crossâsectional study secondary level of care.
Methods
Sample from an elite soccer academy in Madrid (Spain) 35 healthy male subjects (youth soccer players) age 12.82 ± 1.07 years, height 158.68 ± 10.79 cm, weight 49.19 ± 9.45 kg, body mass index 19.41 ± 2.25. The exclusion criteria were the presence of musculoskeletal and joint injuries, pelvic pain, ankle sprains, low back pain and use of drugs in the previous week, and scoliosis.
Results
Temperature value for gastrocnemius muscles and Achilles tendon were assessed in 35 youth soccer players from an academia before and after training in both 12 gastrocnemiusâsoleus equinus and 23 nonâgastrocnemiusâsoleus equinus soccer players conditions. State absolute for gastrocnemius soleus condition obtained a 0.34 value (0.19â0.5); we found a significant increase in temperature among these conditions for the gastrocnemius (P = 0.028) and the Achilles tendon (P = 0.007) (confidence interval 95%). The temperature of gastrocnemiusâsoleus equinus for gastrocnemius and Achilles tendon was increased more than nonâgastrocnemiusâsoleus equinus in youth soccer players.
Conclusions
IR imaging captured temperature is associated with muscle pattern activation for lower limb. Based on our findings, we propose that infrared thermography evaluation of the gastrocnemius and Achilles tendon is suitable to differ gastrocnemiusâsoleus equinus and nonâgastrocnemiusâsoleus equinus conditions in youth soccer players.Sin financiaciĂłn5.113 JCR (2018) Q1, 6/66 Dermatology1.647 SJR (2018) Q1, 7/146 Dermatology, 47/298 Infectious DiseasesNo data IDR 2018UE

A Modified Surgical Technique for Lengthening of a Metatarsal Using an External Fixator
Brachymetatarsia is a congenital or developmental condition that results in a short metatarsal. Problems that arise from this condition can include pain, difficulty with shoe wear, and cosmetic concerns. Multiple techniques have been described that successfully correct the deformity, including both acute and gradual distraction. We describe a modification of the technique of gradual lengthening by way of distraction osteogenesis in which an axial transarticular K-wire is incorporated into a monolateral frame, thereby increasing the stability of the construct and potentially minimizing complications
