    Suture-button fixation for tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries is a relatively new surgical technique thought to provide semirigid dynamic stabilization. However, adequate information is still not available and there are controversies as to whether it provides enough fixation for syndesmosis injuries. Optimally directed suture-button fixation brings physiologic dynamic stabilization of the ankle syndesmosis. Controlled laboratory study. Stabilization of the ankle syndesmosis fixed by a suture-button construct was examined using 6 normal fresh-frozen cadaver legs.…

    Cavus foot is when a person has a very high arch that can lead to pain or even walking, but wearing inserts can help with the issue in mild cases, and in extreme cases surgery is needed to treat it (Blanco). Tarsal coalitions are when the bones in the ankle fuse together causing stif Blumhoff 2 surgery, using the Ponseti technique most of the time (Blanco). Accessory navicular is described as the presence of an extra bone growth center on the inside of the navicular and within the posterial tibial tendon that attaches to the navicular. It is also noticeable at birth and can be fixed without surgery, but can easily be fixed by a surgeon removing the extra bone (Blanco). Juvenile bunion is something that occurs in kids, even though when most people think bunion they think of older people.…

    The use of pedicle screws as fixation devices for posterior spinal fusion has become increasingly popular worldwide. The pedicle screws offer rigid segmental fixation after decompression and arthrodesis for various disorders of the spine, including scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, fractures, tumor and iatrogenic or degenerative instability (Chadha et al., 2003). The initial methods of pedicle screw fixation were described by Raymond Roy (Boos and Webb, 1997) . Roy-Camille et al. (1973) described the use of the posterior plate with screws positioned sagittally through the pedicle and articular processes.…

    In the wake of my travels abroad I reflected back on my experience in Honduras. Virtually the entire population there were barefoot and many were in the throes of advanced diabetes. In our advanced medical culture, diabetes remains the primary cause behind foot amputation, which only affirmed there was much I needed to consider in the future in terms of new treatments for this ongoing epidemic. Such vigilance is largely what makes this such a complementary career choice. In the future I plan to focus my practice on the surgical intervention of diseases relating to the foot and ankle, believing that such dedication will yield immense difference in the lives of the many in need.…

    CMT Symptoms

    Although symptoms of CMT can vary from individual to individual, there are common symptoms of CMT that are prevalent. Early signs of CMT are commonly noted in children or infants that are clumsier and have difficulties trying to walk because they have trouble lifting up their feet (Charcot-Marie-Tooth (cmt), 2015). This early symptom can be accompanied with weak leg muscles and fatigue. Young children who have difficulties picking up their legs to begin walking may have early signs of foot drop. Foot drop is when individuals have difficulties lifting their feet at the ankle (Charcot-Marie-Tooth (cmt), 2015).…

    You may be in full holiday mode, but what about your feet, asks Prescott Podiatrist Dr. J. Todd Cox. By the time most Americans reach 50 years old, they will have walked nearly 75,000 miles. Though an impressive number, that’s much mileage accrued, opening the possibility for a range of foot and ankle issues, particularly pain affecting daily activities, such as exercising, walking, or even standing for extended amounts of time. Stresses like these not only affect your paws but your overall body, too, says the past president of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), Matthew Garoufalis, D.P.M. “Each season presents unique challenges to foot health," he says.…

    Although pursuing a career as a Foot Health Professional at 19, I'd always known without a doubt in my mind that I wanted to further my knowledge and career in the field of Podiatry. My motivation in becoming a Podiatrist is an opportunity to not only add a new scope of treatment in my country Grenada and also due to the alarming rate of amputations that occurs with high risk patients that results from poor treatment and lack of proper education in foot health. The main aspiration in me pursuing a career in Podiatry is due to the death of my grandmother from diabetes related complications. Before her death, she had contracted gangrene, which resulted in her getting a double amputation of both lower limbs which left her depressed. Known that…
