Neuropathic osteoarthropathy, ie, Charcot’s joint, has not previously been reported as a sequela of elective foot surgery. The authors present a challenging case of a patient with long-standing diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy who developed neuropathic osteoarthropathy after a Keller arthroplasty for a recalcitrant hallux ulcer. The radiographic findings, diagnostic tests, and histopathology are discussed. Finally, the authors offer suggestions for surgeons contemplating a Keller arthroplasty for patients with peripheral neuropathy. Full article

Hereditary multiple exostoses is a relatively uncommon disorder of endochondral bone characterized by the presence of multiple, cartilaginous- capped exostoses arising from the metaphyses. A rare presentation of hereditary multiple exostoses in the calcaneus of a 35-year-old man is reviewed and discussed. A [...] Read more.

Post-traumatic First Metatarsal Reconstruction Using Coralline Hydroxyapatite

Abstract

Autogenous bone grafting has been the standard approach to reconstruction of trauma-induced metatarsal defects. However, this treatment has well-known disadvantages related to the harvesting, size, shape, and availability of autografts.

Autogenous bone grafting has been the standard approach to reconstruction of trauma-induced metatarsal defects. However, this treatment has well-known disadvantages related to the harvesting, size, shape, and availability of autografts. The authors used a synthetic hydroxyapatite bone-graft substitute manufactured from a marine coral with a morphology similar to that of cancellous bone in the reconstruction of a large, post-traumatic first metatarsal defect. The authors found grafting with coralline hydroxyapatite to be a safe and effective substitute for autogenous bone grafting in the post-traumatic setting. Full article

Clinical measurement is a fundamental component of podiatric biomechanics. However, recent research has seriously questioned the reliability and validity of the commonly used approaches to clinical measurement of foot posture. A reevaluation of foot-morphology measurement is therefore warranted. This article discusses alternative clinical techniques of measuring foot type reported in the literature (arch height, footprint indices, the valgus index, and navicular drop) that may prove to be superior to the commonly used podiatric measurement system. On the basis of a critical evaluation of the literature, it would appear that arch height and footprint indices are invalid as means of categorizing foot morphology, while the valgus index and navicular drop offer a number of benefits over traditional frontal-plane measurements. An additional clinical measurement suggested by the author, navicular “drift,” is also introduced. The advantages, disadvantages, and clinical application of each of these approaches are discussed in detail. Full article

Three hundred foot and ankle bone grafts were reviewed in three separate series of 100 consecutive grafts from two institutions. The series represent a period from 1977 to 1990 and demonstrate treatment patterns that varied over time and between institutions in indications, graft material, and perioperative management. Over 42% of the 300 grafts were for calcaneal osteotomies; most were Evans calcaneal osteotomies. Over 72% of the grafts were allogeneic bone-bank bone, which performed well in calcaneal osteotomies and for packing of defects. Upon review of the incidence of bone complications, no significant differences were observed between surgical procedures that used autogenous versus allogeneic grafts. However, four out of six failures of first metatarsal repair were with allogeneic bone. There was a significant difference in complication rates for the major indications for bonegraft surgery. Nonunions and arthrodeses resulted in higher complication rates than expected, whereas calcaneal osteotomies resulted in a lower complication rate than expected. Full article
