Bunion exercises can ease the pain caused by bunions, a painful toe joint deformity. You develop a bunion when pressure pushes the big toe toward the second toe. When the top of the toe moves, it forces the bone in the joint at the base of the toe to shift outward. As the bone shifts, it causes a lump on the side of your foot. Without treatment, bunions gradually enlarge and become inflamed.
Gait training exercises are movements designed to help improve strength, balance and coordination when walking. They may be part of a physical therapy program for a person recovering from a stroke, an injury, or surgery, as well as those dealing with a chronic condition that affects their ability to walk.
Hip pain causes include serious problems like a fracture or joint infection and less serious causes like bursitis.
Computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation for total hip arthroplasty yielded decreased OR times and hospital costs vs. robotic-assisted surgery.
Surgical site infections (SSI) are one of the more severe complications following ankle surgery. It is associated with worse outcomes and re-admissions. Therefore, identification of risk factors is essential. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for SSI in patients undergoing surgery for ankle fractures.
