Item Open Access Coverage maps demonstrate 3D Chopart joint subluxation in weightbearing CT of progressive collapsing foot deformity.(Scientific reports, 2022-11) Behrens, Andrew; Dibbern, Kevin; Dibbern, Kevin; Lalevée, Matthieu; Alencar Mendes de Carvalho, Kepler; Lintz, Francois; Barbachan Mansur, Nacime Salomao; de Cesar Netto, CesarA key element of the peritalar subluxation (PTS) seen in progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) occurs through the transverse tarsal joint complex. However, the normal and pathological relations of these joints are not well understood. The objective of this study to compare Chopart articular coverages between PCFD patients and controls using weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT). In this retrospective case control study, 20 patients with PCFD and 20 matched controls were evaluated. Distance and coverage mapping techniques were used to evaluate the talonavicular and calcaneocuboid interfaces. Principal axes were used to divide the talar head into 6 regions (medial/central/lateral and plantar/dorsal) and the calcaneocuboid interface into 4 regions. Repeated selections were performed to evaluate reliability of joint interface identification. Surface selections had high reliability with an ICC > 0.99. Talar head coverage decreases in plantarmedial and dorsalmedial (- 79%, p = 0.003 and - 77%, p = 0.00004) regions were seen with corresponding increases in plantarlateral and dorsolateral regions (30%, p = 0.0003 and 21%, p = 0.002) in PCFD. Calcaneocuboid coverage decreased in plantar and medial regions (- 12%, p = 0.006 and - 9%, p = 0.037) and increased in the lateral region (13%, p = 0.002). Significant subluxation occurs across the medial regions of the talar head and the plantar medial regions of the calcaneocuboid joint. Coverage and distance mapping provide a baseline for understanding Chopart joint changes in PCFD under full weightbearing conditions.Item Open Access Faced joint locking.(Journal of neurosurgery.

A multicenter prospective cohort study.Objective
To define differences in baseline characteristics and long-term clinical outcomes in patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) with and without facet dislocation (FD).Summary of background data
Reports of dramatic neurological improvement in patients with FD and cervical SCI, treated with rapid reduction have led to the hypothesis that this represents a subgroup of patients with significant recovery potential. However, without a large systematic comparative analysis, this hypothesis remains untested.Methods
Patients were classified into FD and non-FD groups based on imaging investigations at admission. The primary outcome was change in American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) motor score (AMS) at 1-year follow-up. Secondary outcome measures included ASIA impairment scale (AIS) grade conversion and functional independence measure score at 1-year postinjury, as well as length of acute hospitalization. Baseline characteristics and long-term outcomes were also compared for patients with unilateral and bilateral FD.Results
Of 421 patients who enrolled, 135 (32.1%) had FD and 286 (67.9%) had no FD. Patients in the FD group presented with a significantly worse AIS grade and higher energy injury mechanisms (P < 0.01). Patients with bilateral FD had a greater severity of baseline neurological deficit compared with those with unilateral FD, measured by AIS grade and AMS. The mean length of acute hospitalization was 41.2 days among patients with FD and 30 days among patients without FD (P = 0.04). At 1-year follow-up, patients with FD experienced a mean AMS improvement of 18.0 points, whereas patients without FD experienced an improvement of 27.9 points (P < 0.01). In the adjusted analysis, patients with FD continued to demonstrate less AMS recovery compared with the patients without FD (P = 0.04).Conclusion
Compared with patients without FD, cervical SCI patients with FD tended to present with a more severe degree of initial injury and displayed less potential for motor recovery at 1-year follow-up.
