Effect of different fusion types on kinematics of midfoot lateral column: a comparative biomechanical study

This study aimed to compare the biomechanical outcomes of the isolated 4 or 5 tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint arthrodesis with the whole lateral TMT joints arthrodesis. Ten cadaveric lower legs underwent isolated 4 TMT joint arthrodesis, 5 TMT joint arthrodesis, and whole lateral TMT joints arthrodesis...

Description
Summary:This study aimed to compare the biomechanical outcomes of the isolated 4 or 5 tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint arthrodesis with the whole lateral TMT joints arthrodesis. Ten cadaveric lower legs underwent isolated 4 TMT joint arthrodesis, 5 TMT joint arthrodesis, and whole lateral TMT joints arthrodesis in sequence. Texson F-scan and K-scanTM joint sensor were used to test the medial and lateral plantar pressure and the pressure of calcaneocuboid joint. Compared with the intact foot, the lateral forefoot pressure increased significantly (P
