Article Abstract
Unlabelled: BackgroundThis study aims to quantify how well midfoot and transverse tarsal joint arthritis can be treated nonoperatively with fluoroscopic-guided injections.
Methods: We reviewed the records of 132 patients (155 feet) diagnosed with midfoot arthritis between 2015 and 2019, who received conservative management via periodic fluoroscopic-guided steroid injections. Patients were told to follow-up as needed after the injection.
Results: There was a 94.2% success rate of treating midfoot and transverse tarsal joint osteoarthritis via fluoroscopic-guided corticosteroid injections. On average, each foot received 3.1 (range, 1-21) injections, which did not differ between cohorts (operative = 3.9, nonoperative = 3.0; P = .147). Patients with higher pretreatment Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) scores in Magnification (P = .046), Helplessness (P = .002), and Total (P = .003) subsections were more likely to undergo surgery. Patients diagnosed with depression were more likely to receive more total injections (depression = 4.3, nondepression = 2.9, P = .046) over a greater injection duration (depression = 22.2 months, nondepression = 11.4 months, P = .046).
Conclusions: Overall, fluoroscopic-guided injections are effective nonoperative treatment of midfoot and transverse tarsal joint arthritis.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, Retrospective cohort study.

Association Between Foot Morphology and Hallux Valgus Angle During Rotational Motion.

Department of Physical Therapy, Bunkyo Gakuin University, Fujimino, JPN.
Background: The foot changes shape in response to rotational motion; however, the specific nature of these changes and their relationship to hallux valgus remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between foot shape alterations due to rotational motion and the hallux valgus angle.
Methods: Foot shape in healthy adult participants was measured using a three-dimensional (3D) foot scanner.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate inter-segmental foot and ankle kinematics in patients with end-stage lesser tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint arthritis and to identify characteristic gait adaptations using a validated multi-segment foot model.
Methods: Twenty-five patients with radiographically confirmed end-stage lesser TMT arthritis and fifty age- and sex-matched healthy controls underwent three-dimensional gait analysis. A 15-marker DuPont Foot Model was used to capture segmental kinematics of the hallux, forefoot, and hindfoot.
Anatomical study of the lateral plantar ligament of the population in the southwest of Shandong Province.

Academy of Basic Medicine, Jining Medical University, Hehua Road 133, Taibaihu District, Jining, Shandong, 272067, China.
Purpose: To clarify the anatomical characteristics of the lateral plantar ligament (LPL) of the transverse metatarsal arch (TMA) in the population of southwest Shandong Province, so as to complement the anatomical structures of the midfoot and Lisfranc joint complexes.
Methods: A total of 100 adult lower limbs were dissected and the types of LPL were divided according to their insertions, among them, 63 were (63%) and 37 were female (37%); 50 were on the left side (50%) and 50 were on the right side (50%). The fiber bundle length, origin width, insertion width, and thickness of the LPL were measured.

Background: Understanding midfoot joint kinetics is valuable for improved treatment of foot pathologies. Segmental foot kinetics cannot currently be obtained in a standard gait lab without the use of multiple force plates or a pedobarographic plate overlaid with a force plate due to the single ground reaction force (GRF) vector.
Research Question: Can an algorithm be created to distribute the GRF into multiple segmental vectors that will allow for calculation of accurate midfoot and ankle moments?
Methods: 20 pediatric subjects (10 typically developing, 10 with foot pathology) underwent multi-segment foot gait analysis using the Milwaukee Foot Model.
