Biomechanics
In patients with pes planus to which the posterior tibial tendon loses plantarflexion ability to which the long flexors (FDB/FDL) compensate and take mechanical advantage over the interossei
What is flexor stabalization?
Correct surgery indicated for patient with flexible deformity at the PIPJ upon kilikian push up test
What is arthroplasty?
A hyperkerratotic lesion on the distal medial tuft of the 5th digit due to friction of the head of the 5th distal phalanx and the head of the 4th proximal phalanx
What is helloma molle
What is derotational skin plasty?
What is extensor tenotomy
In patients with cavus foot type, the tibialis anteriot loses dorsiflexion ability leading to the extensor tendons (EDB/EDL) compensating and overpowering the lumbicals
What is extensor substitution?
Surgical procedure indicated for rigid deformity at the PIPJ upon kilikian push up test
What is arthrodesis
Surgical procedure indicated when hyperkerratotic lesions are present on the base of the medial proximal nail fold due to prominent medial margin of the 5th DIPJ
What is distal medial condylectomy
Skin procedure conducted with painful interdigital keratosis
What is syndactyly
The distance to cinduct a flexor breves and flexor longus tenotomy
What is 1cm distal to MTPJ
In patients with weak tricep surae muscles, the patient is unable to produce the final plantarflexion of the ankle joint in pre-swing, therefore the posterior compartment muscles compensate and fire during pre-swing. These muscles gain mechanical advantage over the interossei?
What is flexor substitution
Extensor tendon lengthening; Dorsal capsulotomy; Collateral ligaments are cut; McGLamry elevator release; Weil osteotomy; Flexor to extensor transfer
What is MTPJ release?
Surgery indicated for painful pressure based hyperkerratotic lesion located over the 5th DIPJ with clear nail dystrophy and failed condylectomy
What is distal phalangectomy?
What is v-y plasty or z-plasty
When conducting a percutaneous extensor tenotomy, it is best to hold the digit in which direction
What is extension
