Using a network meta-analysis, this study aims to evaluate the radiographic characteristics, clinical effectiveness, and incision complications of nonoperative treatment, open reduction and internal fixation, minimally invasive reduction, and fixation. The studies were abstracted from Medline, Embase, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. Statistical analyses were conducted using Stata software. Seventeen RCTs involving 1297 participants with 1354 fractures were included. A total of 5 treatments-extensile lateral approach (ELA), minimally invasive longitudinal approach (MILA), sinus tarsi approach (STA), percutaneous reduction and fixation (PRF), and nonoperative treatment-were analyzed. The treatments were ranked based on Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking Cundomized controlled trials focused on DIACFs are needed to further examine this conclusion.Arch height index (AHI) and arch height flexibility (AHF) are useful methods for evaluating foot structure. Although foot structure may be linked to intrinsic factors such as gender and load conditions, information on AHI and AHF in consideration of these factors is lacking. This study aimed to examine the effect of gender and load conditions on AHI and AHF. One hundred Japanese youths (50 males, 50 females) were recruited in this study. Arch height and truncated foot length were measured with an AHI measurement system. AHI was calculated for each load condition using truncated foot length and arch height. AHF was defined as the change in arch height from 10% to 50% of weightbearing load, and from 10% to 90% of weightbearing load. To satisfy the assumption of independence, only measurements from the ri
