Leiomyomas are smooth-muscle tumors that may be encountered in the practice of podiatric medicine when they affect the arrector pili muscles or the smooth muscle of a vessel wall. In the present case, the lesion was located on the heel, an area with no hair growth; this further supports the diagnosis, as the most likely origin of the lesion was the smooth muscle of a blood vessel. Vascular leiomyomas show a greater predilection for the lower extremities than their superficial counterparts. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for these benign lesions, whose prognosis is excellent. When a patient presents with a painful mass in the lower extremity, the diagnosis of leiomyoma should be considered. Full article

The diagnosis of pyoderma gangrenosum is a difficult one to make because of the condition's ability to mimic other ulcerative lesions of the foot and its lack of specific laboratory and pathologic findings. A high index of clinical suspicion can lead to a definitive diagnosis. This article presents a case report and a discussion of the evaluation and management of pyoderma gangrenosum. Full article

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare and destructive inflammatory skin disease. The authors present a report of a patient with a classic case of pyoderma gangrenosum involving the foot. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical presentation and progression of the disease after differential diagnoses of common conditions were excluded. A brief overview of the disease process, its treatment, and its correlation with ulcerative colitis is provided. Full article

Multimedia technology was once rarely found outside the realm of commercial production studios or in elaborate computer games. However, with the addition of only a few simple accessories, recent advances have made this technology readily available to the podiatric medical practitioner on a desktop office computer. The role that the application of multimedia technology using a computerized digital camera can play in a podiatric medical practice--including in such areas as record keeping, outcome measurement, patient education, interdisciplinary communications, and practice-management tools--is discussed.

A 10-month, hospital-based, open-label clinical study was undertaken of a unique antimicrobial nail solution containing surfactant, allantoin, and benzaikonium chloride to determine its effectiveness, in conjunction with periodic debridement, against pedal onychomycosis. Forty patients with microbial infection of the nails were enrolled in this study, in which a new, objective nail-scoring system was used. At the start of the study, the mean nail score was 8.3, and 79.8% of the nails scored had severe disease (on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 defined as total nail involvement, accompanied by pain and thickening). By the conclusion of the study, the mean score had decreased to 2.5, 32.6% of the patients' nails were scored 0 or 1, and 90% of the patients subjectively judged their improvement as excellent or good.

Antipronation Taping and Temporary Orthoses. Effects on Tibial Rotation Position After Exercise

Abstract

Abnormal lower-limb biomechanics--in particular, abnormal pronation of the subtalar joint with concomitant increased internal rotation of the tibia--is one of the major causes of overuse injuries of the lower limb.

Abnormal lower-limb biomechanics--in particular, abnormal pronation of the subtalar joint with concomitant increased internal rotation of the tibia--is one of the major causes of overuse injuries of the lower limb. A randomized, controlled, within-subjects research design (N = 14) was used to investigate the effect of a temporary felt orthosis and an antipronation taping technique to control the transverse tibial rotation position immediately after application and after each of two 10-minute periods of exercise. The results showed that the taping technique was superior to both the orthosis and no intervention in controlling tibial rotation position immediately after application and after 10 minutes of exercise. After 20 minutes of exercise, neither the tape nor the orthosis was significantly superior to the control; however, the trends suggested that some residual control was maintained. Future studies are needed to determine the amount of foot pronation control required to relieve symptoms in a symptomatic population in order to determine the clinical effectiveness of these treatment methods.

A new approach to treating chronic low-back pain with custom-made foot orthoses was investigated. The Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale was used to objectively assess the functional disability of 32 subjects at different times. Subjects in this prospective study experienced more than twice the improvement in alleviation of pain, and for twice as long, compared with subjects in a study using traditional back-pain treatment. The authors believe that the findings of this study may provide a new method by which patients with chronic low-back pain can be evaluated and treated. Full article
