A 5-year-old girl presented with a painful lesion that was...

"Pilot Hole" Technique for Interphalangeal Joint Fusion of Toes.

Published in Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association

Fusion of an interphalangeal joint of a lesser toe is a commonly used procedure for addressing interphalangeal joint deformities such as a hammer or a claw toe. Fusion can be achieved by insertion of an intramedullary Kirschner wire in a retrograde manner. Deviation of the Kirschner wire from the intramedullary canal into the surrounding soft tissu...

Surgical Reconstruction of the Forefoot with Hallux Valgus Associated with Metatarsus Adductus.

Published in Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association

Metatarsus adductus is a structural deformity that may be associated with hallux valgus and that may lead to metatarsal pain and functional abnormality of the foot. Correcting hallux valgus is complicated in these cases because of the deviation in adduction of the lesser metatarsals, especially the second metatarsal that occupies the first intermet...

Normal Values of Pressures and Foot Areas Measured in the Static Condition.

Published in Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association

These data provide relationships between Pmax, Pmean, and foot areas and weight and shoe size and clearly indicate no age dependence of pedobarographic data. They also provide stable values of the forefoot-rearfoot area ratio. These data should help clinicians evaluate abnormal foot placement in standing patients.

Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant (SPKT) is an accepted approach and the treatment of choice in patients with type 1 diabetes with accompanying end-stage renal disease. Charcot's neuroarthropathy of the foot (CN) is a fairly common and devastating complication found in patients with long-standing, mostly uncontrolled, diabetes. However, CN ha...

The Applicability of Plantar Padding in Reducing Peak Plantar Pressure in the Forefeet of Healthy AdultsImplications for...

Published in Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association

These results imply limited applicability of the single wing plantar cover and the plantar metatarsal pad in reducing hallux pressure and second through fourth metatarsophalangeal joint pressure, respectively. However, the single wing plantar cover remained durable for the 5 days of the trial and was effective in reducing the peak plantar pressure ...

Published in Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association

These findings indicate that walking in high-heeled shoes and asymmetrical load carrying create significant differences in joint loading between the two limbs and alter lower-extremity kinetics.
