Recently the authors have noted a disturbing trend toward an increased incidence of necrotizing infections caused by non-group A streptococcal species. This article describes the typical clinical course of such an infection. Prompt surgical intervention, coupled with an antibiotic regimen aimed at mitigating exotoxin release, may be both limb- and life-preserving. Full article

Many procedures performed by podiatric surgeons today require the use of a soft-tissue anchoring device. In recent years, many new anchoring devices have become available for use in the foot and ankle. The authors introduce a new soft-tissue anchoring device that has yet to be described in the podiatric literature and present two cases in which the new anchor was used. Full article

Symptomatic tarsal coalition is often considered to be synonymous with peroneal spastic flatfoot. The association of the cavovarus foot type with tarsal coalition is less well established and has been described only in children. This article describes a case of an adult female with symptomatic cavovarus feet with talocalcaneal coalition. The authors theorize about the pathology of muscle spasm and pain in patients with this condition. Full article

Although diabetes mellitus is a biochemical disease, it has biomechanical consequences for the lower extremity. Numerous alterations occur in the function of the foot and lower extremity in people with diabetes. This article evaluates biomechanical alterations of the foot in the presence of neuropathy in patients with diabetes in the context of several theoretical concepts. Further study of these hypotheses will result in a better understanding of how diabetes causes elevated plantar pressures and the potential of strategies to prevent these changes so that the burden of diabetic foot disease can be reduced.

This article presents a critical review of the Dockery procedure (autogenous peroneus longus free graft technique) for the treatment of lateral ankle instability. Those patients with gastrocnemius equinus were treated with gastrocnemius recession during surgery. The authors reviewed 33 stabilizations performed over a period of 7 years to analyze the effectiveness of the procedure with and without the addition of the gastrocnemius recession. Assessed were the type and length of conservative therapy, the time to return to regular activity, complications experienced, and the recurrence rate. The results show a reinjury rate of 3%. The complications included infection, prolonged healing, and occasional screw irritation requiring screw removal. In light of the low incidence of reinjury, this technique is a valid procedure for treating lateral ankle instability. Full article

The objective of this study was to measure the between-trial variability of the center of pressure pattern integral (COPPI) at the shoe-floor interface and within the shoe. Ten trials of the COPPI were recorded simultaneously at the shoe-floor interface and within the shoe as ten subjects walked over ground in standardized footwear and with two types of foot orthoses. While the results showed that the within-shoe shoe-only and soft orthoses conditions caused the greatest decrease in the COPPI, it was extremely inconsistent between trials, whether measured at the shoe-floor interface or within the shoe. This suggests that the COPPI is not an acceptable method of assessing the effectiveness of foot orthoses. Full article
