Previous research using ultrasound-based techniques has focused on nonweightbearing assessment of plantar fascia thickness (PFT) and plantar fascia stiffness (PFS). However, weightbearing assessment (closed chain) has not previously been performed in a way to demonstrate the response of the plantar fascia to load. This study aimed to develop a protocol that enables precise and consistent measurement of the PFT and PFS while bearing weight in a fixed calcaneal stance position.Methods: An ultrasound probe capable of shear wave elastography was integrated into a bespoke three-dimensional printed platform incorporating a window to allow positioning of the ultrasound probe. This allowed a closed-chain assessment of the plantar fascia in which a standardized protocol was developed for measurement of the PFT and PFS. The images produced were composed of clips, which were then subdivided into multiple frames.Results: A total of 13 participants (26 feet) had PFT and PFS assessed using the protocol. The results showed a low coefficient of variation (CV) in frame analysis for PFT (CV, 0) and PFS (CV, 0.01). One-clip analysis also demonstrated a low CV for PFT (CV, 0.02) and PFS (CV, 0.01). In addition, a cluster analysis indicated two distinct groups that demonstrated a strong correlation between PFT and PFS (group 1 and group 2 correlation coefficients, 0.83 and 0.98, respectively).Conclusions: The protocol reported in this study was shown to be a valid and reliable method for assessing PFT and PFS in a weightbearing position, which has many clinical and research implications.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"115 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144506090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to describe a modified approach in which we extended the sinus tarsi approach and examined the reduction success in intra-articular fractures involving the medial column.Methods: Patients with calcaneus fracture surgery between 2017 and 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Computed tomography was obtained immediately after surgery and 6 months later to measure calcaneal anatomical parameters such as Böhler's angle, Gissane's angle, height, and width. Preoperative and postoperative radiologic measurements, soft-tissue complications, sural nerve damage, quality of posterior facet reduction, and other complications were recorded. The obtained data were used in the statistical analysis.Results: The mean ± SD age was 30.92 ± 9.61 years. Based on the Sanders classification, eight fractures were type 3 and five were type 4. In preoperative and postoperative measurements, there was a statistical difference in Gissane's angle (P = .001), Böhler's angle (P = .001), calcaneal height (P = .001), and calcaneal width (P = .039).Conclusions: Extending the sinus tarsi approach may provide adequate visualization and control of fracture fragments in Sanders type 3 and 4 fractures in which the medial articular surface of the posterior facet is depressed.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"115 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144506099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, because of the steep learning curve associated with minimally invasive surgery and the lack of literature based on long-term outcomes, the procedure is still a long way from replacing open surgical techniques. To date, the incidence of complications with this updated technique has not been evaluated.Methods: The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the incidence of complications for the Lapidus procedure. We conducted a systematic review of electronic databases and relevant peer-reviewed sources as outlined by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for the preparation of systematic reviews. Studies that included the minimally invasive surgical technique of Lapidus (or tarsometatarsal fusion), used fixation, had a minimum average follow-up of 6 months, and included complications were considered. Some of the studies included patients with concomitant procedures. The included studies did not report on comorbidities. Cadaveric studies, technique guides, and non-English studies were excluded.Results: A total of five studies were identified that met our inclusion criteria, with a total of 162 feet included. Total incidence of complications was 12.3% (n = 20) and the most commonly reported complications included hardware pain (n = 9), nonunion (n = 5), deformity recurrence (n = 3), and neurovascular injury (n = 3).Conclusions: Our systematic review revealed that this updated minimally invasive surgical technique provides a safe and reproducible surgical option for correcting deformities of the first ray requiring tarsometatarsal fusion, with an incidence of complications lower than what is currently reported in the literature for open variations of the procedure.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"115 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144497415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These burns occur predominantly in young African American females and across all age groups. The hair technique involves the ends of the braid being dipped in scalding water to prevent unwinding. This process requires the installer to place the attached hair in hot water behind the client to seal the ends of the braid. This burn injury is most frequently reported on the back, shoulder, arm, forearm, thigh, and leg. The reported cases of this burn injury occurred most frequently in the client. We present a case of a burn injury involving the foot and ankle of the hairstylist installing the braids, a first-ever reported case of this kind. The review focuses on evidence-based management of foot and ankle burns to promote wound healing and prevent limb loss. Standard of care makes education and prevention necessary for lower-extremity burns because these injuries pose a risk to patients with underlying diseases. The review emphasizes the importance of better understanding the mechanism of this burn injury and the necessity to continue treating these injuries as major burns, as well as education about prevention strategies. Lower-extremity thermal injuries challenge physicians due to their unique anatomical and histologic components that affect ambulation. Strategies to prevent these burns in at-risk populations are needed. Hair braiding with scalding water to seal the ends of the braids and other thermal burns can lead to hospitalizations and the need for surgical intervention, driving up health-care costs.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"115 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144506100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Off-loading is one of the many crucial interventions involved in healing diabetic foot ulcers. This study investigates various off-loading devices: total-contact cast (TCC), removable TCC (R-TCC) with and without brace, and removable controlled ankle motion walker, with further subdivision of plantar foot regions.Methods: Previously collected deidentified data of 12 healthy participants from a study by Bhatt et al were used in the present study. Peak plantar pressure (PPP) of nine individual mask regions for each off-loading device were imported into a statistical software program for analysis.Results: Removable controlled ankle motion walker, TCC, and R-TCC with brace had significant PPP reductions compared with controls in eight of the nine regions of the foot, except for the nonsignificant increase in PPP of the medial midfoot region. The R-TCC with brace had a nonsignificant PPP reduction difference compared with the TCC for six of the nine regions.Conclusions: This study found new discoveries by further expanding on studies by Bhatt et al and subdividing the plantar foot into nine regions. The TCC remains the gold standard and first line of treatment for off-loading diabetic foot ulcers.

Preoperatively, she had an American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score of 42, a talocalcaneal height of 64.6 mm, and a talar declination angle of 23.6°. Imaging showed severe erosive changes in the talonavicular and anterior subtalar joints, with marrow edema throughout the navicular and anterior talus. The procedure involved removing the talus and navicular and replacing them with a titanium, nitride-coated talonavicular implant, secured by two 5.5-mm screws. One year postoperatively, her AOFAS score improved to 65, with a talar declination of 15.9° and a talocalcaneal height of 63.8 mm. She had an ankle range of motion with 12° dorsiflexion and 40° plantarflexion. Radiographs showed proper implant seating and no radiolucency. The patient expressed satisfaction with the outcome. This article aims to contribute to the literature on custom implants for severe deformities and pathologies on patients who wish to maintain motion within vital joints. In conclusion, it appears a custom-made talonavicular implant may be a viable solution for spontaneous osteonecrosis of the talus and navicular.","PeriodicalId":17241,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association","volume":"115 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144506094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
