Subungual exostosis is a slow-growing, benign outgrowth of normal bone under the nail that affects the nail unit. The most common location in the foot is the dorsal surface of the distal phalanx of the big toe. Clinically, it can appear in combinatio...
Traumatic second metatarsophalangeal dislocation is extremely rare. This article reports a case of traumatic second metatarsophalangeal dislocation associated with fracture of the second metatarsal shaft. Anatomical reduction is indispensable to pres...
The incidence of fifth metatarsal fracture is somewhat common in sports and can be complicated in nature. Fractures of the fifth metatarsal can occur at a number of locations. Although some of these fractures respond well to conservative treatment, o...
Triplanar distal osteotomy is a safe procedure for mild-to-moderate hallux valgus deformity. It allows shortening and plantar displacement of the first metatarsal while correcting the intermetatarsal angle. However, complications such as dorsiflexion...
No matter what type of manuscript is submitted, all share a few common components [...]
In compliance with Article 9.10.1 of the Bylaws, you are hereby notified that the Regular Meeting of the House of Delegates of the American Podiatric Med ical Association (APMA) will be held at the time and place indicated in this announcement for th...
It occurred to me as I was writing the title above that we now have licensed podiatrists who weren’t even born when this famous phrase was uttered during the 1980 presidential debate between President Jimmy Carter and candidate Ronald Reagan [...]

Background: Recent research has discussed the use of low-frequency electrical stimulation to increase blood flow by eliciting muscular contraction in soft tissues. This randomized clinical trial examined the efficacy of low-frequency electrical stimu...
Background: We investigated the mechanism of delayed would healing caused by diabetes and measured the dynamic changes in matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) levels. We noted differences in the rati...
Background: The establishment of growth reference values is needed in pediatric practice where pathologic conditions can have a detrimental effect on the growth and development of the pediatric foot. This study aims to use multiple regression to eval...
Background: The influence of distal mechanical factors that change the interaction between the forefoot and the support surface on lower-limb kinematics is not well established. This study investigated the effects of the use of lateral wedges under t...
This article explores relevant full-text literature to reveal the effects of heel height on gait and posture and the kinetics and kinematics of the foot, ankle, knee, hip, and spine. Furthermore, special attention will be given to the implications of...
