Outcome and recurrence rate of diabetic foot ulcers treated by a total contact cast: short-term follow-upGiovanni A Matricali
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, K U Leuven, U Z Pellenberg, Weligerveld 1, B 3212 Pellenberg, Belgium
Foot Ankle Int 24:680-4. 2003..These data show how difficult it is to achieve reliable (secondary) preventive general foot care, and to prescribe and manufacture reliable footwear...
Fracture of the posterior medial tubercle of the talus: a case report and review of the literatureAlexander Van Tongel
University Hospital Pellenberg, Leuven, Belgium
Acta Orthop Belg 73:804-6. 2007..To our knowledge the fracture has only been described by five different authors. We diagnosed lately a fracture after a direct trauma. Non-operative treatment with custom made insoles and counselling lead to a acceptable outcome...
Donor site morbidity after articular cartilage repair procedures: a reviewGiovanni A Matricali
KUL University Hospital, Leuven, Belgium
Acta Orthop Belg 76:669-74. 2010..This also underscores the need for further research to identify safe donor sites or to develop techniques that eliminate the need for a formal biopsy ccompletely...
Changes in contact area characteristics of the ankle after a cartilage biopsy at the postero-medial rim of the talar domeG A Matricali
Department of Musculoskeletal Sciences, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium
Osteoarthritis Cartilage 17:1477-84. 2009..Study the changes in local and generalized biomechanical characteristics of the ankle joint, associated with a well defined cartilage biopsy at the postero-medial rim of the talar dome, to evaluate its safety...
High inter-specimen variability of baseline data for the tibio-talar contact areaGiovanni A Matricali
Department of Musculoskeletal Sciences, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium
Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) 24:117-20. 2009..This study aims to investigate for the first time in a systematic way the extent of the inter-specimen variability of the tibio-talar contact area, and its repercussions when analyzing data concerning this parameter...
Repeatability and contact stress gradient detection of sealed pressure-sensitive film when used in a physiological joint modelG A Matricali
Division of Musculoskeletal Disorders, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium
Proc Inst Mech Eng H 222:1065-71. 2008..The recorded pressure at the level of surface defects was always about 0.2 MPa higher in the case of sealed film, and therefore predictable. It is concluded that sealing the film will not change the pressure-recording characteristics...
Economic aspects of diabetic foot care in a multidisciplinary setting: a reviewGiovanni A Matricali
Multidisciplinary Diabetic Foot Clinic, U Z Leuven, Herestraat 49, B 3000 Leuven, Belgium
Diabetes Metab Res Rev 23:339-47. 2007..To evaluate the economic aspects of diabetic foot care in a multidisciplinary setting...
The posteromedial rim of the talar dome as the site for harvesting cartilage in the ankle: an anatomic studyGiovanni A Matricali
Division of Musculoskeletal Disorders, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium
Arthroscopy 22:1241-5. 2006..The goal of this study was to determine whether a biopsy specimen of a fixed size can be harvested reliably and consistently by arthroscopy at the posteromedial rim of the talar dome...
Inter- and intra-observer reliability of masking in plantar pressure measurement analysisK Deschamps
Division of Musculoskeletal Disorders, University Hospitals Leuven, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium
Gait Posture 30:379-82. 2009..Reliability of multi-masking showed a similar pattern, but overall values tended to be lower. Therefore, small sized masking in order to define pressure characteristics in the forefoot should be done with care...
The impact of hallux valgus on foot kinematics: a cross-sectional, comparative studyKevin Deschamps
Division of Musculoskeletal Disorders, University Hospitals Leuven, KU Leuven, Belgium
Gait Posture 32:102-6. 2010..However, the kinematical patterns of the many foot segments during gait have not been quantified. This study aims to evaluate the kinematics of the various foot segments in the presence of this deformity...
