Mueller-Weiss syndrome: an uncommon cause of midfoot pain.

There are various osseous pathologies that afflict the tarsal navicular. These range from stress fractures and coalitions to overt fractures. In certain instances there is an interruption of its vascular supply. If this occurs in childhood, it is called Koehler's disease. Spontaneous osteonecrosis of the navicular in the adult is a rare entity and is known as Mueller-Weiss syndrome. There is little English literature available on the latter. A review of the literature and a case report are presented here.

Peroneus longus tendon lengthening.

This article presents lengthening of the peroneus longus tendon as an adjunctive procedure in the surgical correction of a plantarflexed first ray. The technique has enhanced the effectiveness of primary surgical procedures utilized in the correction of a plantarflexed first ray. Technical difficulty associated with lengthening of the peroneus longus tendon is minimal, and the incision placement introduced in this manuscript provides excellent exposure.
