Prescription medications are thought to cause less than 1% of all congenital abnormalities. However, prescribing a medication to treat the foot disorder of a pregnant patient can be a source of anxiety for the physician. The authors review some of the medications commonly prescribed in podiatric medical practice and evaluate their use and safety during pregnancy. Full article

The complications of elevation and shortening in the oblique closing base wedge osteotomy of the first metatarsal fixated with either a single AO screw or two 0.062 Kirschner wires were compared. Thirty-three consecutive oblique closing base wedge osteotomies of the first metatarsal bone are evaluated. With the exception of fixation, which is examined as an independent variable, the patients are managed identically with respect to osteotomy technique and postoperative care. The Reese osteotomy guide is used to normalize osteotomy configuration. The authors found no difference in elevation or shortening when comparing an AO screw with 0.062 Kirschner wire fixation. When other variables are controlled, fixation type does not lead to a statistical difference in elevation or shortening. Full article

Calcaneal pitch has been considered to be an indirect measure of subtalar joint function. The aim of this pilot study was to assess changes in the calcaneal pitch angle during dynamic gait. Sixty female subjects underwent videofluoroscopy to obtain 27 usable gait cycle data. A single-frame, shuttle-advance video recorder was used to identify midstance of the gait cycle. The calcaneal pitch angle was measured during three midstance periods. The study confirms findings from video and forceplate analysis and reintroduces videofluoroscopy as a gait research tool.

Validating the Process of Taking Lateral Foot X-rays

Abstract

This study validates the concept that a standard (static) weightbearing lateral x-ray, taken with an orthoposer device, in the patient's angle and base of gait is clinically similar to findings seen during ambulatory (dynamic) gait.

This study validates the concept that a standard (static) weightbearing lateral x-ray, taken with an orthoposer device, in the patient's angle and base of gait is clinically similar to findings seen during ambulatory (dynamic) gait. Sixty female subjects requiring diagnostic x-rays underwent videofluoroscopy of their walking gait. Using a single-frame, shuttle-advance video recorder, the appropriate fluoroscopic video frame was identified. The calcaneal pitch angle was measured using a digitized program. A high repeatability of the measuring process and high correlation between x-ray and fluoroscopic results suggest the value of taking weightbearing angle and base of gait lateral x-rays.

Appropriate care of feet of patients with diabetes requires a clear, descriptive classification system that may be used to direct appropriate therapy and possibly predict outcome. Ideally, this system would be used by all participants in a multidisciplinary limb-salvage team. The authors report on a logical, treatment-oriented system that may improve communication, leading to a less complex, more predictable treatment course and, ultimately, an improved result.

Sixteen patients were evaluated following excision of recurrent intermetatarsal neuroma. Each underwent removal of a segment of nerve through an incision on the plantar aspect. The nerve stump was buried in the flexor digitorum brevis muscle. At the time of follow-up examinations, six patients were asymptomatic, seven experienced mild pain after extended activity, one suffered mild consistent pain with activity, and two suffered pain that limited activities.
