The number of older individuals living in the United States is projected to increase significantly over the next few decades. To help meet the health-care needs of this growing population, podiatric medicine must assure the public of the availability of specially educated teachers and practitioners who can not only provide direct patient care, but also participate in establishing national policies and priorities pertaining to foot health. Fellowship training, the traditional educational model beyond the first professional degree and residency education, is one means of accomplishing this goal. This article proposes a model for a geriatric fellowship in podiatric medicine. Implementation of such fellowship training in geriatrics can help the podiatric medical profession pursue its mission and fulfill its responsibility to the public. Full article

First metatarsophalangeal joint implants are used to correct deformity, to restore or improve motion, and to relieve pain. The authors report on a patient with pain in the first metatarsophalangeal joint that was not relieved by multiple first metatarsophalangeal joint surgical procedures. A two-component first metatarsophalangeal joint titanium implant was successfully used as a salvage procedure to relieve pain and restore foot function following a failed first metatarsophalangeal joint fusion.

Plantar pressure-measurement technology is being increasingly used by podiatric physicians and surgeons in both clinical practice and research. The authors present normal reference-range values for peak pressure, mean pressure, and pressure-time integral obtained from 30 healthy subjects using a two-step recording technique and the EMED-SF system, as background for proposed clinical trials. Normative data of this type are essential for clinical practice in the comparison of plantar pressure-measurement values of individual patients with those of normal, asymptomatic feet. Full article

Charcot's joint is a difficult and sometimes frustrating condition to treat, for both the patient and the physician. The authors give a brief overview of Charcot's joint and the treatment options available. They discuss the use of bone stimulators and how electrostimulation may be used to help arrest the progression of Charcot's deformity. To the authors' knowledge, the use of electrostimulation for the treatment of Charcot's joint has been described only once in the literature; three patients were evaluated in that study. In the current study, 11 patients were evaluated, with promising results obtained, thus supporting the findings of the previous study. Full article

The authors conducted a retrospective study of the release of the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve in the treatment of chronic heel pain unrelieved by conservative treatment modalities. A total of 17 patients (18 feet) were evaluated following external neurolysis for heel pain caused by entrapment of the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve. The average postoperative follow-up time was 32.8 months, with a range of 10 to 72 months. Every patient deemed the surgery successful. At the time of follow-up examination, nine feet were asymptomatic and nine feet experienced mild pain after extended activity. There was one postoperative complication, medial calcaneal nerve entrapment; it was successfully treated with neurectomy. Full article
