... Abstract The scapula serves as the platform or base for the muscles of the rotator cuff. Rotator cuff function and dysfunction is therefore directly related to the functional state of the scapula. When the scapula is well stabilized, optimal positioning in both static and dynamic tasks allows...

... Abstract The proximal rotational metatarsal osteotomy is a technique that allows the surgeon to correct the first metatarsal varus and pronation deformities found in most patients with Hallux Valgus. Persistent metatarsal pronation is a recognized recurrence factor for operated Hallux Valgus (5...
