What Is Congenital Talipes Equinovarus?, Cornelia Lieb-Lundell

San Marcos, Fall 2019

An estimated 80% of clubfoot cases occur in low to middle-income countries. Incidence of clubfoot is estimated to be 1-1.5 per 1000 births, and male to female occurrence is 3:1. (1) Left untreated, this congenital anomaly becomes a “neglected clubfoot” and can result in lifelong hardships including limited ambulation related to gait deviations, pain, foot deformities and an inability to wear shoes. Without treatment, this health condition can lead to functional limitations with limited independence in activities of daily living and participation restrictions within the family and community related to decreased mobility.

• During total knee arthroplasty (TKA), whether or not one should routinely resurface the patella is controversial.
• Leaving an unresurfaced patella following index TKA may lead to anterior knee pain (AKP), patellofemoral crepitus, and future secondary resurfacing operations.
• However, routinely resurfacing the patella (PR) may lead to patellar fracture, aseptic loosening, patellar instability, avascular necrosis, and patellar clunk.
• The purpose of the present study is to utilize the existing level one evidence to assess the cost-utility of routine patella resurfacing during primary TKA.
• Hypothesis: Selective resurfacing of the patella is more cost effective than routine patellar resurfacing during primary TKA.

Osteoarthritis of the knee is one of the most common joint disorders in the United States with rising prevalence due to obesity and an aging population. Regarding non-surgical approaches to management, there has been growing interest in the use of intra-articular injections with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).
