May 20, 2024 · The great toe or hallux is located on the medial side and represents the first digit of the foot. It is made up of two phalanges, a proximal and a distal one. These articulate with each other at the first interphalangeal joint. The proximal phalanx of the great toe articulates with the first metatarsal to form the first metatarsophalangeal ...
May 8, 2024 · The simplest of the fifth-toe deformities are corns —namely, the hard corn (heloma durum) and the soft corn (heloma molle). Both lesions are epidermal hyperkeratoses resulting from frictional or pressure irritation. They develop over bony prominences, such as enlarged phalangeal condyles or exostosis. Hard corns.

3 days ago · As seasonal migratory animals, reindeer inhabit the natural habitats in Arctic regions and have evolved their hindlimb joints to adapt to the complex ground conditions there. Inverse dynamics of the joints is an important tool to study foot functions. Herein, with a motion tracking system and plantar pressure data based on kinematics and inverse dynamics of hindlimbs, we investigated the ...
May 17, 2024 · Deformities of the lesser toes are a prevalent condition faced by orthopedic surgeons. An imbalance between the extensor and flexor muscles might cause these deformities, affecting the metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) and interphalangeal joint (IPJ). Therefore, a thorough understanding of the anatomy, biomechanics of the MTPJ, the surrounding structures, and the pathogenesis of lesser toe ...
May 8, 2024 · Pathology. Hyperextension injury involving the PIP of the finger can avulse the volar plate which is commonly associated with a volar avulsion fracture at the base of the middle phalanx. When the volar avulsion fracture involves a significant portion of the articular surface, instability and dorsal dislocation of middle phalanx can occur.
May 8, 2024 · Practice Essentials. Since the advent of shoes, the fifth toe has been a source of discomfort for many people. Complaints typically involve poorly fitting shoes that create friction, irritation, and pain with each step. The problem can typically be solved conservatively with shoe modifications or proper foot maintenance; however, structural ...
