Article Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcome of pes varus deformity correction in dachshunds managed with acute medial opening wedge osteotomy of the distal tibia and stabilised with a mini hybrid external skeletal fixator (HESF).
Methods: Surgical correction involved a transverse osteotomy over the premeasured location at the distal tibia and application of a IMEX mini HESF. All corrections were evaluated using centre of rotation and angulation methodology.
Results: Medical records and radiographies of 20 dachshunds (28 pes varus corrections) were reviewed. All osteotomies healed and fixators were removed between 6 and 12 weeks. Lameness resolved in 18 dachshunds (90%) and significantly improved in two dachshunds (10%). Lateral patella luxation (LPL) was detected in 11/28 (39.2%) of the involved pelvic limbs, all of which resolved following pes varus correction. Mean frontal plane alignment (FPA) of the normal and abnormal tibiae were 12.3° valgus (range: 4°-18°) and 25° Varus (range: 16°-41°) respectively. Angular correction ranged between 30° and 50° (Mean: 39°) and the mean post-operative FPA was 13° valgus (range: 5°-21°).
Clinical Significance: Pes varus deformity in dachshunds can be corrected by medial opening wedge osteotomy of the distal tibia stabilised by HESF. Single-session bilateral pes varus corrections can also be performed with minimal morbidity. LPL was commonly detected in dogs with pes varus deformity and all resolved spontaneously following pes varus correction alone.

Background: Recurrent 10p15.3 microdeletion syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by abnormal facial features, global developmental delay (DD)/intellectual disability (ID), short stature, hand/foot malformation, and congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, the specific genetic defects that contribute to the cardiac phenotype remain unclear.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate foot kinematics during gait in individuals with idiopathic clubfoot initially treated with the Ponseti method, focusing on clubfoot-specific deformities, to improve the understanding of posttreatment functional impairments.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 23 patients with treated idiopathic clubfoot (34 feet) were compared with 15 age-matched healthy controls (30 feet). Gait analysis was performed using the Heidelberg Foot Model.

Plaster of Paris (POP) is traditional for Ponseti treatment of idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), but semirigid fiberglass (SRF) is an alternative. This systematic review and meta-analysis compare POP and SRF outcomes. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, and EMBASE up to 5th April 2025 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs comparing POP versus SRF for initial Ponseti treatment of idiopathic CTEV.

Background: Many arch structure classification methods exist, but arch structure may be influenced by factors such as age and physical activity. It is unknown if previous arch structure classifications from adult populations are appropriate for adolescents. The purpose of our study was to compare arch structure classifications between adolescent-specific and previously published classification systems.

Background: Flatfoot causes the medial shift of ground reaction force during the stance phase of gait, which is associated with various foot disorders. To prevent this shift in flatfoot, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the loading pattern and what foot joint kinematics influence it. We investigated differences in the center of pressure (COP) position between normal foot and flatfoot, and predictors of COP trajectory during gait.
