The management of EGFR inhibitor adverse events: a case series and treatment paradigm.

Herpes — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 03:31:03 +0100

Conclusion The most common cutaneous adverse event in our cohort was papulopustular rash, followed by eczema and xerosis. Patients were managed with symptom target therapy, and suspension of the EGFR inhibitor was rarely required. As the use of EGFR inhibitors increases, it is important to promptly identify and treat adverse events. Further studies are necessary to develop targeted therapeutic and preventative measures.

AAFP Defines Role of Pharmacists, Family Physicians in Health Care Delivery System

Inside AAFP — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:35:00 +0100

The AAFP has issued a revised position paper that helps to define the professional relationship between pharmacists and family physicians in an integrated health care delivery system. The AAFP recognizes the "evolving complexity and proliferation of pharmaceutical agents and (the) important role pharmacists play in the delivery of high quality health care," says the position paper. And "The AAFP supports arrangements where the pharmacist is part of an integrated team-based approach to care." However, the paper adds, the AAFP believes "only licensed doctors of medicine, osteopathy, dentistry and podiatry should have the statutory authority to prescribe drugs for human consumption."

Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint: comparison of three techniques.

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100

Conclusions: Our experience corroborates the advantages of Memory staples as described in the literature, including good approximation of bone fragments, technically easy application with fewer steps than an AO-applied screw, and an adequate source of internal fixation to achieve metatarsophalangeal joint fusion. There is also a suggestion that the time to achieve fusion is shorter. PMID: 22232316 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association)

Effect of a metatarsal pad on the forefoot during gait.

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100

Conclusions: The combination of increased forefoot width and the height of the second metatarsal head produced by the metatarsal pad results in an increase in space between the metatarsal heads. This extra space could play a role in pain reduction produced by a metatarsal pad. PMID: 22232317 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association)

Influence of turnout on foot posture and its relationship to overuse musculoskeletal injury in professional contemporary dancers: a preliminary investigation.

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100

Conclusions: Turnout is one of the most fundamental aspects of dance technique. This study suggests a trend toward pronation in angle of turnout and a link to lower-limb musculoskeletal injury. PMID: 22232318 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association)

Navicula drop test ad modum brody: does it show how the foot moves under dynamic conditions?

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100

Conclusions: This study of asymptomatic individuals did not confirm that static ND can be used to individually predict dynamic ND during treadmill walking. It was demonstrated that the start position of Brody's test is not well correlated with navicular height at heel strike, with this being the main reason for the weak relationship between static and dynamic ND measures.

Normal genetic variation of the human foot: part 1: the paradox of normal anatomical alignment in an evolutionary epigenetic context.

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100

Authors: Quinn G Abstract Molecular genetics is changing our understanding of the developmental translation of genotype to phenotype between and within different phylogenetic groups. Together with a growing understanding of our own evolutionary relationships to common ancestors, the epigenetic processes involved enforce a reexamination of what is regarded as a normal foot structure. A revised populationist approach is proposed and supported by paleoanthropologic evidence that reflects a picture of emerging suitability for bipedalism that is driven by natural genetic divergence.

Dislocation of the fifth metatarsal base following partial fourth and fifth ray amputation: a case report.

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100

Authors: Carlson RM, Smith NC, Stuck RM, Sage RA Abstract This case report presents a rare postoperative dislocation of the fifth metatarsal base following a healed open partial fourth and fifth ray amputation of a 62-year-old male veteran with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. The dislocated fifth metatarsal base subsequently created a chronic ulceration and an inhibition of normal gait. The patient was taken to the operating room where the fifth metatarsal base was resected with transfer of the peroneus brevis tendon to the cuboid to maintain biomechanical stability.

Lisfranc Arthrodesis

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100

Lisfranc fracture-dislocations are complex injuries that require a high skill set from foot and ankle surgeons to diagnose and treat. Conservative treatment is seldom an option for treatment of Lisfranc injuries. The authors believe that even subtle injuries require surgical intervention. The comparison between open reduction internal fixation, partial arthrodesis, and complete arthrodesis is discussed, as well as various fixation techniques to accomplish these procedures when approaching a Lisfranc injury.

First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100

Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) is used primarily for end-stage hallux rigidus whereby pain, crepitus, and limitation of motion is noted at the joint. Arthrodesis at the first MTPJ also has it uses as a primary procedure for rheumatoid arthritis when severe deformity is present, as well as for salvage procedures for failed joint arthroplasties with or without implant, fractures with intra-articular extension, avascular necrosis, and infection management. A first MTPJ arthrodesis should provide stable fixation, attain suitable positioning for a reasonable gait, maintain adequate length, and create a stable platform for a plantigrade foot type.

Preface

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100

My colleagues and I appreciate the honor and opportunity to participate in writing various articles for Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, undertaking the extensive and broad-range topic of arthrodesis of the foot and ankle. Serving as a guest editor, I recognize the ultimate responsibility to provide a thorough and comprehensive review and inclusion of various topics on arthrodesis that would be relevant to foot and ankle surgeons. Arthrodesis can be a technically complex procedure in inexperienced hands. The ultimate decision to perform arthrodesis procedures is contingent on the need to perform salvage procedures due to a patient’s continued pain and disability after alternative treatments have failed.

Publication Rates of Poster Presentations at the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons Annual Scientific Conference Between 1999 and 2008

Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 16:56:24 +0100

Abstract: Publication is the desired end point of scientific research. Ultimately, it is desired that research presented in poster format at a scientific conference will be developed into a report and become published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Moreover, poster presentations of research studies are often referenced and, as a result, influence treatment care plans. No data exist for the actual publication rate of podiatric foot and ankle surgery poster presentations. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to determine the actual publication rates of poster presentations at the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) annual scientific conference (ASC) during a 10-year period.

Skin Lesions in the Diabetic Foot.

Actas Dermo-Sifiliograficas — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100

Authors: Boada A Abstract In diabetic foot syndrome, a series of complications of late-stage diabetes affect the foot. These complications, which culminate in foot amputation, include peripheral vascular disease and neuropathy, Charcot arthropathy, plantar ulceration, and osteomyelitis. In recent years, the medical community has paid greater attention to diabetic foot syndrome, and our understanding of its pathophysiology and management has advanced. Although the podiatrist is charged with caring for the diabetic foot, as dermatologists we occasionally act as consultants. This review therefore offers dermatologists an update on the causes and management of skin lesions in the diabetic foot.

Salvage Arthrodesis for Charcot Arthropathy

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 05:00:00 +0100

The principles of fusion of a Charcot joint arise from the assertion that successful fusion requires removal of all cartilage, debris, and sclerotic bone. The authors believe that reconstruction can prevent amputation in patients who have unbraceable or unstable deformities, or recurrent ulcerations. The goal with any Charcot reconstruction procedure is to achieve a plantigrade foot free of ulceration, and to prevent any future collapse, deformity, or ulcerations. The authors strongly believe arthrodesis of unstable joints of the Charcot neuropathic foot can lead to limb salvage and better quality of life. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Conclusions: This paper demonstrates the expectations of a large cohort of podiatric surgery patients. For the most part patients expect pain relief, improved mobility and improved shoe fitting, while a small number of patients also expect a cosmetic improvement. Further research is required to determine the relationship between patient expectation and health related quality of life, and to determine whether podiatric surgery is successful in addressing the expectations of patients.

Carcinoma cuniculatum of foot

The Foot — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:16:28 +0100

We report a case of carcinoma cuniculatum. A 56 years old male presented with lesion on ball of right foot since nine months. Surgically excised specimen revealed ulceroproliferative mass measuring 8cm×6cm×5cm, with everted margins and whitish granular material draining through sinuses at the base of ulcer. Cut surface showed irregular, whitish, firm tumor mass, with tiny cleft like spaces. The mass was compressible and whitish pasty material was extruding from the spaces (). Histopathology revealed tumor with exophytic and endophytic proliferation of well differentiated squamous epithelium with papillomatosis, hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, irregular acanthosis and focal areas of ulceration (). The squamous cell nests were infiltrating with broad club shaped as well as ragged margins. T...

Partial achilles tendon rupture presenting with giant hematoma; MRI findings of 4 year follow up

The Foot — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:16:28 +0100

We presented imaging findings of 4 years follow up of the spontaneous partial rupture of Achilles tendon presenting with giant expanding hematoma and mimicking complete rupture radiologically. We discussed the alterations of tendon signal intensity and result of conservative therapy after partial rupture with big hematoma in the long term. A 29 year-old man, applied with pain and swelling in the retrocalcaneal region of left ankle. He did not have chronic metabolic disease. He was not active in physical activities. X-ray radiograms were normal. At magnetic resonance images (MRI), there was an intratendinous big hematoma, subcutanous fat planes were edematous around tendon. The diagnosis was partial rupture and giant hematoma. Hematoma was drained. The conservative treatment was applied and...

Osteosarcoma: A rare cause of painful enlargement of the hallux

The Foot — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:16:28 +0100

We report a case of osteosarcoma in the proximal phalanx of the hallux in a 45-year-old man. In patients with foot-related symptoms, a high index of suspicion for pedal osteosarcoma is required. Delayed or inappropriate diagnosis may compromise limb-sparing surgery and survivorship. (Source: The Foot)

Giant cell tumor of distal phalanx of great toe. A case report

The Foot — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:16:27 +0100

We report a case of giant cell tumor involving the distal phalanx of great toe in a 27 year old female who presented with swelling of great toe of right foot. Radiography showed an expansile lesion in distal phalanx of great toe. En bloc resection of phalanx was done. Biopsy showed giant cell tumor and regular follow up of this patient for two years showed no recurrence of tumor. Giant cell tumor at such a location is unusually aggressive and needs regular follow up to detect local recurrence. (Source: The Foot)

Evolution of the Achilles tendon: The athlete's Achilles heel?

The Foot — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:16:27 +0100

Abstract: The Achilles tendon is believed to have first developed two million years ago enabling humans to run twice as fast. However if the Achilles tendon is so important in terms of evolution, then why is this tendon so prone to injury – especially for those more active like athletes. The Achilles tendon had an integral role in evolving apes from a herbivorous diet to early humans who started hunting for food over longer distances, resulting in bipedal locomotion. Evolutionary advantages of the Achilles tendon includes it being the strongest tendon in the body, having an energy-saving mechanism for fast locomotion, allows humans to jump and run, and additionally is a spring and shock absorber during gait. Considering these benefits it is therefore not surprising that studies have show...

Predictive factors for flatfoot: The role of age and footwear in children in urban and rural communities in South West Nigeria

The Foot — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:16:27 +0100

This study investigated the role of age and type of foot wear as predictors of flatfoot in school age children in urban and rural areas in south-western Nigeria.Methods: 560 children between 6 and 12 years, divided into two groups; rural and urban were studied. Each subject's static footprint was taken on a white duplicating paper after which the instep was measured for classification into high arch, normal, flat or severe flat. The BMI of each subject was calculated from the anthropometric data. The type of footwear with which the subjects were shod was also recorded. Data analysis was by Epi Info statistical package version 3.5.1 (2008).Results: Chi-square showed a significant (p (Source: The Foot)

The aerodynamics of running socks: Reality or rhetoric?

The Foot — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:16:27 +0100

Conclusion: There is no evidence that a sock that is “aerodynamically designed” will help an athlete go faster. This may be more product rhetoric than reality, and further work is justified if such claims are being made. (Source: The Foot)

Morphology of sustentaculum tali: Biomechanical importance and correlation with angular dimensions of the talus

The Foot — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:16:27 +0100

Conclusions: The inter-relationship between articular and angular parameters within the talus demonstrates strong correlation for certain parameters. Data presented in the study may be helpful to adjust calcaneal and talar screw placement techniques, prosthesis designing and bio-mechanical studies at this important region. (Source: The Foot)

Ankle “sprains” during sport activities with normal radiographs: Incidence of associated bone and tendon injuries on MRI findings and its clinical impact

The Foot — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:16:27 +0100

Conclusions: MRI-based clinical management has been adjusted for each case; beside the Grade 3 ligament injuries and the rare, but difficult to diagnose osteochondral lesions of the talus, partial weight bearing or short-immobilization were offered as treatment modalities for the rest of the patients avoiding unnecessary long-term treatments and rehabilitation exercises.

Metatarsal bars more effective than metatarsal pads in reducing impulse on the second metatarsal head

The Foot — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:16:27 +0100

Abstract: Background: The second metatarsal head is commonly involved in cases of metatarsalgia. As part of the conservative treatment, metatarsal bars and metatarsal pads are often prescribed.Objective: To compare the effectiveness of metatarsal bars and metatarsal pads in reducing impulse on the second metatarsal head.Method: Thirty-five healthy subjects were monitored with an insole scanning system during walking in four different conditions: (a) wearing shoes only, (b) shoes plus metatarsal pads and shoes plus metatarsal bars, placed either (c) perpendicular to the foot axis or (d) oblique to the foot axis. The impulse under the second metatarsal head was measured using the first condition as a control. Both feet were examined in each subject resulting in a total of 840 measurements.Re...

A prospective audit of referral patterns to a dedicated Foot and Ankle surgical service

The Foot — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:16:27 +0100

Conclusion: Only 65% of GP referrals to this surgical service were deemed appropriate as they progressed directly to surgery. However, it is important to establish what constitutes ‘appropriate’ since within the remaining 35% of referrals only 66 (5.8%) required no intervention at all. Of the residual group who required ‘treatment’ approximately 17% required steroid injection or orthoses and 143 (13%) received advice and went away to contemplate the consultation. Referral pathways could be improved by greater communication between GP and foot and ankle service with the construction and implementation of referral guidelines which would enhance the referral and treatment pathway to the service.
