The authors conducted a mail survey that examined foot problems, rates of utilization of foot-health services, and the perception of foot problems as medical conditions in a sample of people aged 65 years and older who lived independently. Although 71% of the 128 respondents reported suffering from foot problems, only 39% had consulted medical personnel about their feet, and only 26% identified their foot pathologies as medical conditions. More female than male respondents experienced foot problems and had visited medical personnel about their feet. Increased education of older individuals about their foot-care requirements, as well as increased access to podiatric medical services, is recommended. Full article

The authors report on a 3-year prospective program that included foothealth education and an initial assessment of foot problems in an older population. The program represents a cooperative effort by the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging and the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine to enhance the quality of life of older citizens. The results show that foot problems are prevalent among older patients. The program also refined a protocol that can be applied in other settings. Full article

Cutaneous larva migrans is the result of infestation of human skin by helminth larvae, which burrow through the epidermis. This route of infestation makes the foot a typical site for origination of this infection. Children, who frequently play barefoot in locations where the most common of the helminth larvae, the dog and cat hookworms, are endemic, are at particular risk for this disorder. This article reviews the differential diagnosis of cutaneous larva migrans and current concepts in management. Two cases of related children who presented to their pediatricians with this condition are reported. Full article

Talonavicular coalition is a rare entity and is often discovered as a secondary radiographic finding. Today, orthoses are as varied as the patients for whom they are prescribed; however, in cases of symptomatic talonavicular fusion, the use of a shallow U-shaped dispersion within the high medial flange of an orthosis can prove beneficial to the pediatric patient. This article encourages podiatric physicians to return to utilizing basic diagnostic tools (gait analysis, biomechanical examination, and radiographs) to detect and treat talonavicular coalition, a significant but rare anomaly of the foot.

Practice guidelines for five of the most common podopediatric deformities are presented. In establishing these diagnosis and management guidelines, the authors have reviewed an extensive body of literature and considered their experience as clinicians in one of the busiest settings for the evaluation and treatment of disorders of children’s feet. No attempt has been made to be encyclopedic; rather, the authors emphasize practical visual descriptors and the rationale for treatment to demonstrate the value of early intervention in moderate-to-severe orthopedic pathology of the foot and leg.
