Disease relevance of Metatarsus

• Syndrome of microcephaly, Brachmann-de Lange-like facial changes, severe metatarsus adductus, and developmental delay: mild Brachmann-de Lange syndrome [1]?
• RESULTS: In women with RA, we observed with disease duration an increased frequency of flat foot that was correlated with first ray deformity (chiefly metatarsus primus adductus) and severe stages of disability [2].

High impact information on Metatarsus

• METHODS: Subcutaneous injections of a 99mTc-labeled agent having 18 DTPA and 82 mannosyl groups attached to a polylysine of 100 units ([99mTc]DTPA18-man82-PL100) were made at the level of the metacarpus and metatarsus of three healthy rabbits [3].
• Use of a lower volume of diluent in the proximal portion of the metatarsus produced a peak value of 72.2 +/- 23.4 microg/ml [4].
• A multi-site QUS device evaluated speed of sound (SOS) at the radius (RAD), tibia (TIB), metatarsus (MTR), and phalanx (PLX) [5].
• PROCEDURE: Birds were randomly assigned to receive saline (0.9% NaCl) solution (n = 10), butorphanol tartrate (11), or buprenorphine hydrochloride (10), i.m. Birds were fitted with a surface electrode on the medial metatarsus of 1 leg [6].
• Adult roosters with experimental circular osteotomy defects in the metatarsus were placed on chronic heparin therapy [7].

Associations of Metatarsus with chemical compounds

• 1994 William J. Stickel Silver Award. Closing base wedge versus Austin bunionectomies for metatarsus primus adductus [8].
• After preparing the area for aseptic surgery, under xylazine (at 0.1 mg/kg, i.m.)-ketamine (i.v. till effect) general anaesthesia, the test bone (metatarsus, radius and tibia in two animals each) was approached through the medial surface and an osteotomy was created with a saw and chisel at the mid-diaphysis [9].

Gene context of Metatarsus

• Physical anomalies confirmed at autopsy included double superior vena cava, ectopic adrenal tissue, and metatarsus adductus [10].
• Hypermobility of the TMT 1 joint is tested clinically in the sagittal plane, but an important deformation also exists in the transversal plane: metatarsus primus varus [11].
• Biomechanics of the first ray. Part II: Metatarsus primus varus as a cause of hypermobility. A three-dimensional kinematic analysis in a cadaver model [12].
