Flexion location of the first metatarsophalangeal joint and the location of forefoot bend in general purpose women ’s footwear
Although some work has been reported on specialized footwear for post-operative orthopaedic recovery [1,2], little is found to connect orthopaedic foot knowledge to the parameters that footwear manufacturers use to make general purpose footwear. The function of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (first MP joint) is adversely affected when the fulcrum of the shoe does not match the fulcrum location of the joint [3]. Adequate range of motion of the first MP joint is dependent on adequate dorsiflexion [4]. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Flexion location of the first metatarsophalangeal joint and the location of forefoot bend in general purpose women ’s footwear
The first MP joint cannot properly function as a fulcrum unless footwear has a matching flexion location. Footwear designs should incorporate a wide flexion zone located under the forefoot to permit the range of first MP joint flexion locations. Recommendations to patients are to select appropriate flexible footwear to prevent shear forces, reduce strain, prevent injury and enable range of motion function and healing of injury.

A comparison of the “All-Inside” arthroscopic Broström procedure with the traditional open modified Broström-Gould technique: A review of 62 patients
Ankle sprains comprise 85% of all ankle injuries and are the most common sports injury at 14 –21% [1–3]. Reports indicate approximately 25–45% of injuries to athletes participating in basketball, soccer, football and volleyball are ankle sprains with 85% being lateral inversion type sprains [3,4]. These injuries may range from minor stretching of the ligaments to partial or complete r upture. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

The impact of hindfoot deformities for the recurrence of hallux valgus after joint-preserving surgeries for rheumatoid forefoot deformities
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a major chronic inflammatory disease that is characterized by destruction of multiple joints. In recent years, the introduction of powerful and effective antirheumatic drugs, including molecularly-targeted drugs, has dramatically controlled the disease activity of RA. With a trend toward milder disease because of improved medical treatment [1,2], patients with RA may seek better function as measured by the activities of daily living. As a result, the numbers of foot surgeries have increased especially in Japan [3]. (Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery)

Minimally invasive distal first metatarsal osteotomy can be an option for recurrent hallux valgus
Hallux valgus (HV) is a multifactorial deformity affecting the forefoot often resulting in morbidity and decreased quality of life. It is characterized by lateral deviation of the great toe and varus of the first metatarsal often leading to sub-dislocation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ1). The etiology is varied, but females are more commonly affected because high genetic predisposition and other risks by use of constricting footwear [1]. In the literature, many surgical procedures have been described, but complication rates following HV surgery have been reported to be as high as 50% [2], including hallux va...

Characteristics of anterior inferior calcaneal cortex
The current trend of the surgical treatment of the calcaneal fractures has become toward the minimal invasive surgery. Earlier reports [1 –5] revealed the benefit of minimal invasive surgery included less wound complications with comparable quality of reduction to the conventional open reduction and internal fixation technique, via lateral extensile exposure. Various surgical techniques of minimal invasive surgery were reported with satisfactory results [1–5]. The favorable minimal invasive surgery of the calcaneal fractures was mini open approach to reduce and fix the posterior facet fragment via “sinus tarsi approa...
