About Lecture

Part 1 of this 2-part lecture reviews in detail the closed chain dynamics that lead to hyperpronation as well as the superstructural influences that lead to persistence of the pes planus attitude throughout the gait cycle. This lecture will orient the attendee to the clinical assessments and insights required when considering surgical intervention for the pes planus foot.

Part 1 of this two-part lecture will focus on the open and closed chain biomechanical assessments required for appropriate surgical decision making. Considerations will be made regarding structural and functional elements, patient age, neurologic status and gait findings required by the practitioner.

About Lecture

Part 2 of this two-part lecture will utilize the concepts covered in Part 1 to assist in procedure selection. Selected surgical procedures will be covered in relation to the clinical case presented.

About Lecture

Dr Bromley will review the pathomechanics of pain and wounds that present in the lower extremity and discuss the surgical solutions.

About Lecture

This presentation will discuss the application of TAA for arthritic deformity of the ankle and its benefits over fusion techniques. Additionally, perioperative management and complications will be discussed. Finally, an algorithm for management of the infected TAA will be discussed.

About Lecture

MIS Bunion surgeries have experienced new popularity in musculoskeletal surgery. Many different types of procedures are available with different levels of complexity however no definitive data exists indicating that one procedure is preferable to another. Surgeons should be knowledgeable of these various approaches so that the best approach may be chosen for individual patients.

About Lecture

The majority of plantar ulcerations in the insensate foot are precipitated, perpetuated or aggravated by mechanical dysfunction of the foot and ankle. Peak pressures, shear forces and hypermobile pedal segments all contribute to this pathology and result in stresses that are especially damaging to integumentary tissue. Since these forces are occurring under the foot inside the shoe while the patient is standing and walking it is only prudent that they be identified and addressed. Observational or Video Gait Analysis is not capable of revealing plantar pressures or measuring temporal parameters, both of which are critical components that must be assessed and addressed in the production and management of pedal ulcerations. In-shoe pressure testing is a practical, repeatable, relevant and reliable method of identifying and neutralizing these predisposing factors thereby improving not only improving patient outcomes but preventing them from occurring in the first place.

Dr. Bevilacqua will identify and discuss the critical clinical and diagnostic imaging findings of the Charcot foot and/or ankle that are used to guide treatment decisions and determine the appropriate treatment course. He will discuss the factors influencing the decision-making process, including patient-specific considerations, disease progression, and potential complications.

As the population continues to age, certain issues begin to emerge that have a profound influence on this enlarging patient population. This lecture will examine some of the more commonly seen changes and offer practical suggestions that the podiatric physician can incorporate into their treatment plan. The ultimate goal of preserving independence by stabilizing and normalizing movement patterns can be achieved in many of our impacted patients, the results of which are often seen immediately.

About Lecture

The lecture will be a review of the highest form of literature on the treatment of pediatric flexible pes planovalgus. Many studies are flawed in design and methodology and therefore the conclusions that are often drawn are inaccurate and can lead to lack of treatment on the condition from a practitioner. New preliminary data will be discussed that can offer insight on the repercussions of the lack of treatment of this condition.

Dr Presman will discuss the radiographic diagnosis of lower extremity calcified vessels, both Monkeberg's sclerosis (aka Medial Arterial Sclerosis) and Atherosclerosis. She will also review the differences between the two disease processes both radiographically and clinically, specifically regarding their affect on wound healing.
