fracture after resurfacing, based on a study by Meek et al.101 With limited clinical benefit to resurfacing in females, the risks may outweigh the benefits. Given that females have smaller and thinner patellae, this lesser bone stock makes revisions that much more challenging in females

ankle fractures and two femoral shaft fractures to table

ankle dorsiflexion and overall greater midfoot mobility, which is indicative for Page 135further examination of interventions addressing foot mobility in patients with PF OA.11 In addition to the anatomic and mechanical components of the PF joint, the histological features of the PF cartilage are influential in the development

later development of pain suggests late infection, aseptic loosening, osteolysis, implant complication—such as polyethylene wear or trunnionosis, or periprosthetic stress fracture, and persistent pain after surgery without a pain-free interval may be suggestive of early infection, inappropriate component sizing or positioning, failure

fracture. The first X-ray, labeled A, shows the proximal femur and hip joint before surgical intervention. The femoral head appears displaced from its usual position within the acetabulum. The alignment of the femur is a significant disruption to the bone's normal anatomy

ankle deformities might benefit from custom orthotics to allow ambulation until distal deformities can be addressed surgically. Valgus knee deformity is often observed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Thorough review of the patient’s medical and family history is beneficial in determining if further referral for lab work

ankles, whereas males typically have more involvement in the spine and pelvis.15 When examining patients with AS based on race, Blacks were more likely to have underlying comorbidities and uveitis compared with Whites but there was no difference in the involvement of peripheral joints.16 SLE characteristically presents with
