One of the most common digital pathologies seen in podiatric practice is periungual hyperkeratosis of the fifth digit, also known as Lister’s corn. A variety of ideas concerning the etiology and treatment of this disorder have been presented in the literature. This article provides a description of an effective surgical procedure for Lister’s corn based on the presumed etiology of the disorder, as well as an illustrative case presentation of a patient with bilateral Lister’s corns.

Growth factors are increasingly investigated for their role in wound healing. The authors present evidence from human and animal studies suggesting that growth hormone induces a positive nitrogen balance, enhances connective-tissue synthesis, and increases lean body mass. The physiology of diabetes and wound healing is reviewed in the context of how growth hormone therapy could benefit this patient population. Full article

Cedar shoe trees are used to keep shoes from shrinking and losing their shape. When the same cedar shoe trees are used by different shoe wearers, there is a chance of transmission of disease-causing microorganisms between people. This study was conducted to determine whether or not transmission of disease-causing microorganisms via cedar shoe trees occurs, what kinds of microorganisms can be transmitted, and how many organisms can be transmitted. In this study, both bacteria and bacterial spores were transmitted, while fungi were not; however, only several hundred to several thousand pathogenic bacteria were transmitted between any two shoes.

Abstract

The width of the calcaneal fat pad during weightbearing differs from its width during nonweightbearing. In this study, the medial-to-lateral width of the calcaneal fat pad was measured during weightbearing as well as nonweightbearing, and the two measurements were compared.

The width of the calcaneal fat pad during weightbearing differs from its width during nonweightbearing. In this study, the medial-to-lateral width of the calcaneal fat pad was measured during weightbearing as well as nonweightbearing, and the two measurements were compared. The difference between weightbearing width and nonweightbearing width was found to vary widely across individuals. This measurement has implications for the manufacture of functional foot orthoses, which are made from nonweightbearing impressions of the foot. The significance of the authors’ findings with regard to patient comfort is discussed. Full article

Abstract

The authors present results of long-term follow-up of seven patients whose degenerative disease of the first metatarsophalangeal joint was treated with irradiated chondral graft implantation arthroplasty. In appropriate candidates, this procedure is a reasonable alternative to Keller arthroplasty alone, arthrodesis, and nonbiologic implant [...] Read more.
