Under the Microscope: Foot and Ankle Fellowships
Foot and ankle fellowships have been in existence for decades and have, within the past 5 years, surged in popularity among recent graduates. Advanced training is available in a wide array of subspecialties, including diabetic limb salvage and wound care, foot and ankle trauma, foot and ankle reconstructive surgery, sports medicine, and patient-oriented research. The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) promotes 18 recognized fellowship training programs: 14 reconstructive, 2 sports medicine, and 2 diabetic limb salvage . The Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) of the American Podiatric Medical Ass...

The reliability of plantar pressure assessment during barefoot level walking in children aged 7-11 years
Conclusions: These findings indicate that using the reported protocols, reliable plantar pressure data can be collected in typically developing children, aged 7 to 11 years in all regions of the foot except the lesser toes which consistently reported poor-to-moderate levels of reliability and increased variability.

Dr Rosemary- Getting to the heart of medical matters
Q A COUPLE of weeks ago you advised a reader who was having problems with his/her toenails to cut them straight across. This alarmed me because the podiatrist I have been visiting for the past couple of months has been cutting my nails following the shape of my toes (in an oval shape). Are these different approaches down to differing professional opinions?

The Impact and Outcomes of Establishing an Integrated Interdisciplinary Surgical Team To Care for The Diabetic Foot
ConclusionsInterdisciplinary diabetic foot surgery teams may significantly impact surgery type, with greater focus on proactive/preventive rather than reactive/ablative procedures. While endovascular limb‐sparing procedures have become increasingly applicable, open bypass remains critical to success. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Calcaneal Fractures: Update on Current Treatments
Calcaneal fractures represent 2% of all fractures and account for approximately 60% of all tarsal injuries. Motor vehicle collisions and falls are the major causes of these large force compression injuries, causing widening of the heel, loss of heel height, and articular surface displacement. A correlation has been shown between restoration of normal anatomy and satisfactory functional outcome. Once the basic principles of calcaneal fractures are understood, including the anatomy, the radiographic findings, and the challenges that these complicated fractures present, the physician can then be ready with the armamentarium t...

Professionals' perceptions of type 2 diabetes in primary care during a service redesign
The objective of the service redesign was to transfer the management of the majority of people with type 2 diabetes from secondary care to general practitioner (GP) led, multidisciplinary primary care (comprising the GP, practice nurses, dietitians and podiatrists) delivered closer to the patients. Prior to implementation, all primary health care professionals undertook accredited educational preparation and there was infrastructure development by the creation of new posts and streamlining of IT systems to support the planned change.The study aim was to examine health care professionals' perspectives of diabetes, its manag...

Unknotting night-time muscle cramp: a survey of patient experience, help-seeking behaviour and perceived treatment effectiveness
Conclusion: Night time calf cramps typically woke sufferers from sleep, affected either leg and caused ongoing pain. Most participants experienced little or no relief with current therapies used to prevent muscle cramp. Most people who were taking quinine for muscle cramp were unaware that the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration withdrew support of quinine for muscle cramp in 2004 due to the risk of thrombocytopaenia. Case-control studies are required to identify therapeutic targets so that clinical trials can evaluate safe interventions to prevent recurrent cramp.

The foot-health of people with diabetes in a regional Australian population: a prospective clinical audit
Conclusions: The publically funded podiatric services of this large regional area of Australia deal with a disproportionally large number of people with diabetes at high risk of future diabetes-related foot complications. These findings may be useful in ensuring appropriate allocation of resources for future public health services involved in diabetic foot health service delivery in regional areas.

Epidemiologic factors affecting plantar arch development in children with flat feet.
CONCLUSIONS: Flat feet in children may be affected by age, sex, Cole index, place of residence, and physical activity. The proposed model allows plantar arch heights in children with flat feet to be predicted without the need for sophisticated technology via controlling the child's weight and physical activity for prescribing appropriate footwear.

Clinical efficacy and safety of tapentadol immediate release in the postoperative setting.
Abstract The appropriate treatment for postoperative pain remains a common dilemma for podiatric surgeons and patients undergoing surgery of the foot and ankle. The treatment of moderate to severe acute pain typically relies heavily on the use of opioid analgesics, such as hydrocodone and oxycodone, which are often associated with adverse effects, including nausea and vomiting. These adverse effects may have a negative impact on postoperative outcomes and reduce patient compliance with analgesic therapy. Tapentadol is a novel, centrally acting analgesic with two mechanisms of action--μ-opioid receptor agonism and ...

Normal genetic variation of the human foot: Part 2: Population variance, epigenetic mechanisms, and developmental constraint in function.
Abstract Congenital deformities of the foot have been reported to correlate with regulatory epigenetic mechanisms that are also responsible for the timing and sequencing of developmental growth of the lower limb. Developmental variance of normal morphologic features has also been shown to vary between populations despite the retention of human foot characteristics. The molecular evidence for genetically controlled expressions of common evolved physical features is highly suggestive of regulatory control mechanisms that act together with developmental constraints to homogenize the retained functional characteristics...

Abstract Charcot arthropathy is an acute or subacute, often indolent, non-infectious or tumorous osteoarticular destruction of weightbearing skeletal structures in patients with reduced pain perception due to peripheral neuropathy. The authors present a rare case of progressive Charcot arthropathy of the first metatarsophalangeal joint with accompanying ulcer and foot deformity due to peripheral neuropathy. An arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint with resection of the hypertrophic bone and osteophytes using a locking plate was performed. Also a condylectomy of the base of the proximal phalanx digitus ...

Surfer's toe: trauma-induced idiopathic acro-osteolysis in the toes of a 46-year-old surfer: a case report.
In this report, a 46-year-old surfer was evaluated for AOL as a complication of sports-related repetitive trauma to the right second and third toes. Radiography showed the bony tips of his right second and third toes had been eroded away. Acquired acro-osteolysis in the surfer's toes resulted from increased blood flow initiated to repair microdamage caused by repeated trauma to the distal ends of his second and third right toes due to the habitual dragging of the affected toes across a surfboard. The always initial lytic phase of bone repair was magnified by the increased arterial input to warm the extremities after prolon...
