📢 Department Research Publication

The Department of Orthopedics – Foot and Ankle Service of Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center proudly congratulates Dr. Zakhira Maye R. Zipagan, together with co-authors and research adviser Dr. Adrian Joseph C. Tablante, for their publication in Foot and Ankle Surgery, a high-quality international peer-reviewed journal and the official journal of the European Foot and Ankle Society.

📄 Study Title:
Comparing Proximal and Distal Chevron Osteotomy for Moderate to Severe Hallux Valgus: A Meta-analysis of Clinical and Radiological Outcomes

📊 The study analyzed 294 cases comparing proximal and distal chevron osteotomy for bunion correction and found no significant difference in radiologic and functional outcomes between the two techniques.

These findings highlight the importance of evidence-based decision making in hallux valgus (bunion) surgery, helping surgeons select the most appropriate procedure for each patient.

This publication reflects the department’s continued commitment to research, mentorship, and advancing foot and ankle care for Filipino patients.

Pagkakaloob ng LIBRENG implant at operasyon ay muling magbubukas simula ngayong buwan ng Marso.

Maraming karaniwang problema sa paa at bukung-bukong ang maaaring magdulot ng pananakit, pamamaga, at hirap sa paglakad. Ang mga kondisyong ito ay maaaring dulot ng aksidente, mga pwersa sa paa dala ng trabaho, injury sa paglalaro ng sports, o di kaya dala na mula kapanganakan. Iilan sa mga ito ang:
• Mga bali o gumaling na bali sa paa
• Sakit sa talampakan (Plantar Fascitis)
• Sakit sa bukong bukong (Achilles Tendinitis)
• Bukol sa hinlalaki sa paa (Bunions)
• Mga pagbabago sa hugis ng paa at mga daliri nito
- Pagbaluktot ng mga daliri ng paa (Claw Toe)
- Panlalatang pagbaluktot ng daliri ng paa (Hammer Toe)
- Pagsalubong o pagsapaw ng mga daliri ng paa (Cross-over Toe)
• Pagkapilipit paloob at pagtaas ng arko ng paa (Cavovarus deformity)
• Pagbagsak ng arko ng paa (Flatfoot)
• Bukol sa likod ng bukong bukong (Haglund’s deformity)

Kapag may problema sa paa o bukung-bukong, maaaring maranasan ang:
• Pananakit sa sakong, paa, o bukung-bukong
• Pamamaga o pamumula ng kasukasuan
• Hirap sa paglakad o pagtapak
• Pakiramdam na mahina o unstable ang ankle
• Pagbabago sa hugis o alignment ng paa

Kung ang sintomas ay tumatagal ng ilang linggo, lumalala habang naglalakad, o hindi gumagaling kahit may pahinga at gamot, maaaring kailangan ng mainam na pagsusuri at paggamot. Sa ilang kaso, maaaring mangailangan ng operasyon upang maibalik ang normal na galaw ng paa.
