Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome is a rare congenital condition that classically presents as a triad of varicosities, bone or soft-tissue hypertrophy, and cutaneous hemangiomas. The authors describe a case of this disease in an otherwise healthy patient with unilateral leg edema and intermittent bleeding from prominent ankle varicosities. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical presentation, diagnostic studies, and a comprehensive literature review. An overview of the pathology, treatment, and prognosis of this disease is provided. Full article

This article reports on the case of a man with peroneal neuropathy-induced footdrop who was seen at the authors' institution 3 years after open reduction and internal fixation of a proximal fibular fracture and a distal, spiral, oblique tibial fracture of the right leg. A comprehensive gait analysis was conducted. A significant footdrop in gait resulted in a "reverse check mark" center-of-pressure pattern, an increased transverse-plane rotation of the foot, and excessive knee and hip flexion in the sagittal plane. These objective findings documented significant dysfunction within the involved lower extremity; in addition, aberrant biomechanics were observed in structures other than the site of initial injury within both limbs.

Outcomes research has become a high priority for the podiatric medical profession, according to the results of a recent survey of members of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). The methods of population-based studies using claims data, health-related quality-of-life measures, decision and cost-effectiveness analysis, and quality improvement are discussed and their contributions to the podiatric medical profession highlighted. The integration of this methodology into the podiatric medical literature has been sparse. Future work needs to address the training of future researchers in these methods, the establishment of collaborative arrangements, and the development of uniform clinical and health-related quality-of-life measures.

In a population-based cross-sectional survey conducted in the Netherlands of 7,200 people aged 65 years and older (with a response rate of 79%), 20% of the respondents were found to have nontraumatic foot complaints of more than 4 weeks' duration, often involving the forefoot. Female sex, joint disease, and multimorbidity were found to be risk factors for the presence of foot complaints; older age and obesity were not. Respondents with these complaints had limited mobility and poor perceived well-being. Full article

A study was conducted to determine whether fungal culture results in cases of suspected onychomycosis differ depending on the location from which the specimen is obtained. Specimens were taken from the nail plate, subungual debris, and nail bed in 30 patients with clinical evidence of onychomycosis. Cultures from the subungual debris were more likely to be positive for dermatophytes, nondermatophytic molds, and yeasts than were cultures from the deeper nail bed or nail plate. Full article

The effect of rearfoot eversion on maximal hallux dorsiflexion. A preliminary study

Functional hallux limitus has been recently described as an etiologic factor in postural complaints. Eversion of the rearfoot has been theoretically linked to decreased hallux dorsiflexion, although there have been no scientific studies on this subject to date. This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between rearfoot eversion and hallux dorsiflexion; the results show that hallux dorsiflexion is decreased with rearfoot eversion in a static setting.

Ankle equinus is a well-known clinical entity that has previously been shown to compound a variety of foot and ankle conditions. Treatments for this disorder have included surgery to lengthen the Achilles tendon and daily stretching. This article describes a method of manual manipulation that can immediately and substantially increase ankle joint dorsiflexion. Patients treated with manipulation in the current study demonstrated nearly twice as much dorsiflexion motion as that demonstrated by patients in a prior study who were treated with a 5-minute daily stretching program for 6 months.
