Prospective Controlled Trial of STAR Total Ankle Replacement Versus Ankle Fusion: Initial Results
Mobile-bearing ankle replacement has become a popular treatment option outside of the United States. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the mobile-bearing prosthesis in treating end stage ankle arthritis. This procedure was tested against the Scandanavian Total Ankle Replacement (STAR).
Calcaneal Fractures: Indirect Reduction and External Fixation
The common treatment for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures has been surgical fixation. This study evaluates the use of indirect reduction with Illizarov external fixation as an alternative in the surgical treatment of certain calcaneal fractures.
Malleolar Fracture After Total Ankle Arthroplasty
There has been an increase in the treatment of end-stage tibiotalar arthritis with prosthetic replacement. This study evaluates the treatment of malleolar fractures with the two most common implants in the United States: the STAR procedure and the Agility total ankle arthroplasty.
Intraspecies and Interspecies Comparison of the Compressive Properties of the Medial Meniscus
The purpose of this study is to establish a "gold-standard" for properties of the meniscus in the knee. To determine the compressive material properties in the meniscus the study used six animal models at six different topographical locations.
Calculation of the Opening Wedge for a Low Tibial Osteotomy
This study facilitates the preoperative planning process for distal tibila osteotomy by determining angular correction with various wedge heights. The medial opening wedge distal tibial osteotomy is a relatively new technique for treatment of intermediate ankle joint arthritis. This procedure requires extensive preoperative planning to determine the size of the wedge that will restore anatomic alignment of the joint surface.
