The charcot foot in diabetes.
Abstract The diabetic Charcot foot syndrome is a serious and potentially limb-threatening lower-extremity complication of diabetes. First described in 1883, this enigmatic condition continues to challenge even the most experienced practitioners. Now considered an inflammatory syndrome, the diabetic Charcot foot is characterized by varying degrees of bone and joint disorganization secondary to underlying neuropathy, trauma, and perturbations of bone metabolism. An international task force of experts was convened by the American Diabetes Association and the American Podiatric Medical Association in January 2011 to su...

Navicular stress reactions in runners: a review of evaluation and management of a competitive athlete.
Abstract Navicular stress injuries in athletes can be devastating. Clinical findings are frequently nonspecific until significant progression of the abnormality has occurred. The use of diagnostic imaging techniques early in the discovery period increases the likelihood of establishing an immediate diagnosis and avoids frank fracture of the navicular bone. Delayed diagnosis of navicular stress injuries in athletes can cause dire consequences. The physician must be aware of the injury in establishing a high index of clinical suspicion. The timing and sequencing of diagnostic imaging studies is essential in establish...

Lengthening of the Midfoot in a Case of Lower-extremity Hemimelia.
Abstract Hemimelia of the lower limb belongs to the group of congenital deficiency disorders. The clinical spectrum ranges from minimal shortening of the long bones to severe deficiencies of the extremities. Several etiologies, such as X-rays or drugs, have been implicated to be responsible for hemimelia. In the present report the clinical course and the long-term follow-up of a patient with transverse terminal hemimelia of the left foot at the level of the basis of the metatarsals is described. Due to frequent episodes of pain, development of pressure sores, and an increasing psychological burden, operative interv...

Mimicry in older patients: tophaceous pseudogout as a tumorlike lesion: a case report.
Abstract Pseudogout is frequently seen in painful arthritis of larger joints, especially the knees and shoulders. This case report describes a rare clinical entity of soft-tissue calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease surrounding the second metatarsal bone of an 81-year-old man with moderate painful swelling of the right forefoot for 2 years. Diagnostic imaging demonstrated a calcified soft-tissue tumor adjacent to the second metatarsal bone by considering a neoplastic process in the differential diagnosis. Excisional biopsy revealed a chalklike material on the calcified soft tissue that was pat...

Prosthetic reconstruction for tumors of the distal tibia. Report of two cases
Abstract: Prosthetic reconstruction in two patients with malignant bone tumors of the distal tibia was conducted. The diagnoses were metastatic bone tumor in one patient and low grade central osteosarcoma in another. The mean duration of follow-up was 5.5 years (3 and 8 years). Reconstruction was achieved using custom-made prosthesis (JMM, Japan Medical Materials), which replaced the distal tibia. In the patient with metastasis, local recurrence occurred 8 months after the primary surgery and the recurrent tumor was resected. Both patients were free from neoplastic disease at the latest follow-up. The average functional sc...

The role of diagnostic imaging in the evaluation of suspected osteomyelitis in the foot: A critical review
Abstract: The early diagnosis of osteomyelitis in the foot from its clinical presentation alone can be difficult particularly in cases when the early signs are subtle. Early diagnosis and subsequent early intervention are imperative to reduce the risk of chronic infection, associated early lytic changes to bone and potential long term structural complications caused by subsequent deformity and lost anatomy.Diagnostic imaging has a major role to play in the early assessment and diagnosis of bone infection, yet the choice of approach can be controversial.Several imaging modalities have been advocated, imaging of the infected...
