Foot disorders and the complications of chronic disease in the older population have a significant effect on society, the cost of health care, and individuals' quality of life. Given podiatric medicine's role in the management of problems of the aging, it is critical that the profession's educational system produce practitioners who understand the process of aging and the needs of the older patient and who are prepared to serve on the health-care-delivery team as the primary providers of foot-care services. The geriatric syllabus presented here is one approach to attaining that goal. Full article

The authors present a rare case of multiple intermetatarsal neuromas coexisting with rheumatoid synovitis and a rheumatoid nodule. A brief review of rheumatoid nodules as a source of forefoot pain and a review of the relevant literature are provided. A rheumatoid nodule is just one of the many diagnoses that must be considered when one encounters pedal symptoms similar to those associated with Morton's neuroma. Full article

This study compared three types of postoperative management of patients undergoing endoscopic plantar fasciotomy. Participating in the study were 38 patients (45 feet) who had undergone endoscopic plantar fasciotomy from 1995 to 1998. One group of patients wore a below-the-knee walking cast with a molded medial longitudinal arch for 2 weeks; another group was allowed immediate plantigrade weightbearing; the third group was nonweightbearing with crutch-assisted ambulation for 2 weeks. The results showed that the patients who wore the below-the-knee walking cast for 2 weeks required less time to obtain 80% pain relief, needed less time to return to full activities, and had fewer complications than those patients who were allowed immediate plantigrade weightbearing. Moreover, patients who wore the below-the-knee walking cast were more satisfied with their postoperative results than patients who were nonweightbearing for 2 weeks. Full article

Use of cannulated bone screws, as compared with use of traditional bone screws, has been reported to decrease surgical time, allow for more precise screw placement, and reduce sources of error. Cannulation of the smaller-size screws that are routinely used in foot surgery has not been available until the last few years. This article reports on the use of the small cannulated screws manufactured by Alphatec Manufacturing, Inc (Palm Desert, California). The screw sizes available in the Mini Lag Screw System are 2.7, 3.5, and 4.0 mm. A long-term clinical and radiographic prospective evaluation of 70 procedures performed on 49 patients was conducted. The follow-up time for all patients was 2 years. None of the 70 implants fractured, and seven procedures (in seven patients) resulted in some type of implant-fixation failure. All of the fixation failures, however, appeared to be related to an untoward event or patient noncompliance. These smaller cannulated screws proved to be a reliable and effective means of fixation in foot surgery. Full article

The Boyd amputation is a surgical technique used to treat osteomyelitis of the foot. This amputation is a technically more difficult procedure to perform than the Syme amputation, but it offers certain advantages. The Boyd amputation provides a more solid stump because it preserves the function of the plantar heel pad. Also, because a portion of the calcaneus is left and fused to the tibia, the weightbearing surface is more solid than in the case of a Syme amputation. The authors recommend a Boyd amputation as an alternative to a Syme or a below-the-knee amputation to treat patients with osteomyelitis of the forefoot and midfoot. Full article

Computed tomography is a primary imaging technique for evaluating congenital and developmental anomalies of the foot and ankle. Other imaging modalities have special capabilities, but computed tomography is a fast, safe, and effective method of assessing the anatomy. To demonstrate this point, the authors present and discuss imaging findings of common anomalies of the foot and ankle. Full article
