  Fractures of bones about the foot and ankle
  • Fractures which do not involve joints
    In a generally healthy human foot, fractures which do not involve the joint will heal spontaneously. Help and comfort is often achieved by means of a cast or a splint. However, the axis of the bone must be preserved thus preserving the normal weight-bearing patterns of the foot. For this reason, fractures of the "long" bones within the foot, the metatarsals, must often be operated on to restore alignment.

  • Fractures which involve the joints
    If a fracture involves a joint, the joint surface and its cartilage layer may be displaced. If this is the case, the joint will not work properly anymore (even after the fracture has healed!) and it is quite likely that the joint will degenerate prematurely, becoming painful and impairing function. The foot has 28 bones and more than 30 joints and therefore fractures about the foot very often involve joints. Fortunately, not all of these joints are essential for proper function and therefore exact repair is necessary only for certain bone fractures.

      • Ankle fractures
        The fractures are always articular fractures and must be analysed carefully with x-rays. A large majority of these fractures must be operated on, by means of precise, minute repositioning of the fracture fragments and then they need to be fixed with implants such as plates and screws to achieve a good final result ("internal fixation"). Precise and meticulous repair of the joint surfaces also allows active mobility of the joint very soon after such repair while avoiding the premature degeneration mentioned above. In our practice, so-called malleolar fractures, if seen within the first hours after the accident, can be treated and operations performed on an out-patient basis.

      • Fractures of the talus
        This bone is situated just below the tibia and thus is involved in malleolar fractures. If fractured itself, this bone should be repaired by means of an operation in all cases, regardless of the location of the fracture.

         
        		 
         

      • Fractures of the calcaneus
        This bone is located just below the talus and is the bone of the heel. In our opinion, if a fracture of this bone involves one of its 3 joint surfaces, only an internal fixation can provide a solid and functional reconstruction. The same holds true even in cases of intact joints because the axis and outer shape of the bone is severely altered through the fracture.

         

        Combined talus and calcaneus fractures should always be treated by open reduction and internal fixation.

         
        		 
         

      • Fractures of the navicular
        This bone is located just in front of the talus and is part of the most important joint of the foot. If this bone is fractured, which is rare, an internal fixation will optimize the final result in most cases.

         
        		 
         

      • Fractures of the cuboid
        This bone is located on the external side of the foot, just in front of the calcaneus. As a small "cuboid" bone, it links the lateral metatarsals (for the 4th and 5th toe) to the calcaneus. If this bony link undergoes deformation due to a fracture, the whole foot is at risk of deformation. In these cases, the fracture is best treated by internal fixation.

      • Fracture-dislocations of the tarso-metatarsal joints
        These lesions are at least as complex as their name. Known also as "Lisfranc’s" dislocations they are always partly dislocation and partly fracture. What is fractured is basically the "basis" of the metatarsals, especially the second one, which correspond to the axis or the "roof" of the foot. As we humans have 5 rays which end with 5 digits or toes, these lesions may end in converging or diverging dislocated rays. Thorough early diagnosis is mandatory since mild dislocations might be overlooked. These fracture-dislocations must be treated by operative minute re-orientation of the metatarsal rays thus achieving an anatomical alignment of all five metatarsal heads.

      • Fractures of the toes
        The bones of the toes are numerous and in cases of fracture do not need systematic internal fixation. However, if there seems to be a high risk that the toe will not touch the ground after bone healing, it may need some operative alignment.


      Arthroscopy about the foot and ankle
    Arthroscopy is a special tool to secure diagnosis and to facilitate the treatment of joint diseases as an alternative to or combined with "open" assessments and other surgical means. This technique addresses selected diseases affecting the large joints of the hindfoot.

     


      Ligament reconstruction about the foot and ankle
    Ankle sprain is the most frequent traumatic lesion about the whole human body. With the development of surgery, it became very common to operate on these cases and suture the torn ligaments. In recent decades, however, it has been shown repeatedly that healing and long term results are not improved by operative intervention. It is our opinion that, the vast majority of ankle sprains are best treated by immobilization of the hindfoot in a favorable position for about 6 weeks, the time for sound scarring of the torn ligaments and that surgical reconstructions after fresh trauma are only indicated in very rare cases.

    Foot and ankle deformities
    Considering the functions of transmission of load and propulsion, the mechanical axes of the foot and ankle are of primary importance for proper function. By deformity we mean all alterations of these axes due to disease or trauma. Deformity may thus imply structural bone axes and/or functional joint axes. Deformities may thus be evaluated objectively, especially under weight-bearing conditions. We consider the appearance and shape of the foot to be at least as important as the radiological assessment.

    Deformities about the foot and ankle may be present at birth or develop in childhood (developmental), degenerative (with age, arthrosis), associated with neurological diseases due to a dysbalance of muscles and tendons,post-traumatic (following fractures or dislocations), linked with other diseases: inflammatory such as rheumatoid arthritis , or metabolic such as diabetes or caused by tumors.

    The foot presents twenty-eight bones: a lot when compared to the four bones which link the pelvis to the foot. Correcting deformities of the foot requires a thorough knowledge of anatomy and the function of bones, joints and the local musculature.

    Efficiency of the hand relies on highly mobile joints but the forces involved are low. In contrast, optimal function of the foot relies on less mobile joints subjected to high forces due to gravity and the transmission of kinetic energy. Therefore, correction procedures about the foot and ankle include bone cuts (osteotomies), joint fusions or releases and transfers of muscle tendons.

      •   Developmental (congenital) deformities
        The prototype of developmental deformities is the "club foot", scientifically called "congenital talipes equinovarus". In this pathology, the multiplicity of bones and joints about the foot become evident. It is in fact a tridimensional deformity in which not only the joint axes are malpositioned but also the bones are deformed. Especially if rigid, the treatment of this deformity is primarily surgical. It is mandatory that the foot that was deformed in utero achieves plantigrade posture under normal weight-bearing conditions at the usual age of walking. The origins of the disease are multiple and the severity of expression of the deformity is very variable.

         
        		 
         

      •   Degenerative deformities
        Degenerative deformities may be due to an "invisible" developmental disease or weakness, or constant overload of the limb.
        Flat feet and hallux valgus are not to be considered as diseases in themselves because there are millions of people in the world who walk throughout their life with these morphological "characteristics" and who never will experience any discomfort or pain.
        On the other hand, flat feet and hallux valgus may be associated with or part of the expression of degenerative disease including pain and discomfort and then they can be successfully treated by orthopaedic surgical means without fear of recurrence and without functional limitations.

      •   Neurological diseases
        Neurological dieseases can have a significant impact on foot deformities in childhood as well as in adults. The motors behind foot function are muscles which have their origin within the lower leg. Overpower or lack of muscular function may have a neurological origin which itself cannot be cured. Transfer of tendons about the foot is, for example, an important tool in the correction of these deformities.

         

      •   Post-traumatic deformities
        Fractures or fracture-dislocations, if not treated, may consolidate with a considerable deformation of the affected bones. Within the foot, this might result in painful joint arthritis or, more correctly, "arthrosis". This means that the impaired joint undergoes destruction of its cartilage and painful stiffness results. Within the foot, anatomical bone and joint axes are mandatory for free function. In cases of deformation following "malunited" fractures, reconstructing the foot and ankle axes together with joint fusions might be the key to painfree motion of essential joints.

         
        		 
         

      •   Rheumatoid arthritis
        This disease progressively destroys all joints by chronic inflammation. In fact, more than half of all patients with polyarthritis experienced the onset of the disease in their feet. Treatment, which is long and tiresome, is generally guided by a rheumatologist, but in many cases, operative joint replacement may be indicated using endoprostheses. Within the foot, such joint replacement is, in selected cases, beneficial for the ankle joint. In our opinion, other joint replacements are not indicated for the foot and ankle.

      •   Diabetes mellitus
        Diabetes or more precisely: "diabetes mellitus" not only means that there is too much sugar in the blood. This disease is also known to cause harm to arteries and nerves. The arteries and nerves are not affected constantly but must be assessed precisely. In the end, the diabetic person cannot feel his feet anymore "internally" and overloads his weight-bearing bone and joints. The complex skeleton of the foot then often collapses and the resulting deformity causes local abnormal pressure of the plantar skin which fails too, thus creating a wound which will never close spontaneously. Conventional, non-operative treatment may be long and demanding, including special shoe wear, constant podiatric controls. Limb-saving surgery include operative correction of the deformity. In selected cases, such correction of the deformity includes joint fusions even in the presence of open wounds.

         
        		 
         

      •   Tumors
        Tumors are rare within the foot and ankle area when compared to the rest of the body. There are benign tumors and pseudotumors (which do not imply anarchic cell growth) and malign tumors which are either of primary origin within the foot and ankle or secondary layers of a tumor located elsewhere within the body. The frequently encountered so-called "Morton's neuroma" is a pseudotumor.

         
        		 
         


      Prescription of foot orthoses
    In some selected cases, an insole or orthosis can be a relief from pain, especially for those with a delicate plantar skin constitution. They also may provide a strong mechanical support in some muscular deficiencies. All diabetics should, in our opinion, use them once the diagnosis is certain since plantar orthoses avoid peak loads occurring at the plant of the foot.
