How To Address Stump Neuromas
Given the challenges of stump neuromas in the foot, this author offers insights on the etiology, conservative management and surgical options such as nerve capping and transplantation.
The stump neuroma is a natural and expected occurrence after nerve injury. When damaged, the proximal nerve segment attempts to regenerate, leading to a bulb-shaped thickening or stump. Trauma is a common cause for these injuries throughout the body.
Keys To Diagnosing And Treating Calcaneal Apophysitis
Given that calcaneal apophysitis is a common cause of heel pain in children, this author reviews the literature and offers insights on the etiology of the condition, the diagnostic workup and pertinent treatment pearls.
How To Address Inferior Heel Pain
While plantar fasciitis is a common diagnosis for inferior heel pain, these authors emphasize the importance of a proper workup and differential diagnosis. They also offer pearls on conservative treatments such as corticosteroid injections and provide insights on surgical procedures such as plantar fasciotomy.
Current Concepts In Retrocalcaneal Heel Spur Surgery
Retrocalcaneal heel pain, also known as insertional Achilles tendinopathy, can occur in both sedentary and athletic populations. Accordingly, this author offers a primer on posterior heel anatomy and insights on conservative and surgical management in these patient populations.
Secrets To Patient Adherence With Night Splints
Although night splints can be a valuable treatment for plantar fasciitis, their bulkiness can make patient adherence a challenge. There are also varying perspectives on the role of night splints within the armamentarium for plantar fasciitis. Accordingly, this author offers a closer look at these issues in facilitating relief for patients.
Revisional Subtalar Joint Fusions: What You Should Know
When complications occur following subtalar joint fusion, surgeons may need to weigh revisional surgery options in order to correct the deformity. This author discusses common indications for revisional arthrodesis and offers step-by-step pearls to help ensure optimal outcomes.
Essential Insights On Managing Symptomatic Diabetic Neuropathy
Given the common prevalence and debilitating effects of neuropathic pain, it is important to have a strong understanding of effective treatment options. Accordingly, this author reviews the literature on currently available modalities as well as emerging therapies.
Emerging Concepts In Treating Second Crossover Toe Deformity
Given the complexities of the second crossover toe deformity, these authors discuss key pathomechanics, review essential elements to the clinical examination, offer conservative care options and provide insights on different surgical techniques.
The crossover second toe deformity may be one of the most challenging surgical disorders foot and ankle surgeons face. The condition is most often associated with a pronounced hallux valgus deformity that one must address surgically in order to achieve a satisfactory and lasting result.
Emerging Concepts In Treating Onychomycosis
Given the significant prevalence of onychomycosis that podiatrists see in practice, these authors review current treatments and offer a closer look at emerging topicals, orals and devices that may hold promise in treating this disease.
Since the drug companies’ fungal wars of the 1990s, many podiatrists have lost interest in the treatment of onychomycosis and have settled into their own particular treatment paradigm. However, emerging technologies and new drug delivery systems have again brought the treatment of onychomycosis to the forefront of our profession.
Current Directions In Podiatric Education
In this roundtable forum of leading podiatric educators, the panelists discuss the challenges of having a DPM/MD curriculum, offer a glimpse into current research initiatives in biomechanics and refute the notion that there are too many podiatry schools.
