【 摘 要 】
Category:Basic Sciences/BiologicsIntroduction/Purpose:Various biomechanical studies have examined pressure changes across the foot and ankle joints. However, most of these studies disrupted the capsuloligamentous complex surrounding the joint to insert pressure sensors, compromising the integrity of the natural joint structure and the accuracy of biomechanical assessments. This is the first noninvasive study to report measurement of natural joint reaction forces (JRF) across the foot and ankle while preserving all soft tissue structures. Since articular surfaces experience equal and opposing compression forces, we aimed to evaluate the distraction force needed to overcome these compression forces.Methods:Ten fresh-frozen cadavers of the lower extremity were obtained that were disarticulated at the knee joint. Steinmann pins were percutaneously placed across the distal tibia, and the center of the talus, navicular, cuboid, and calcaneus while preserving all surrounding soft tissues. A custom fixation devic...
