Selected soft tissue malignancies of the foot: an in-depth study with case reports.

Soft tissue malignancies represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the podiatric physician. In order to improve prognosis and increase survival rates of affected patients, prompt clinical and histologic recognition of suspect lesions is necessary. Here we present information and case reports on selected soft tissue malignancies including Kaposi's sarcoma, malignant melanoma, synovial sarcoma, and epithelioid sarcoma to aid the practitioner in recognizing these serious lesions that occur in the foot.

Silver calcaneal osteotomy for flexible flatfoot: a retrospective preliminary report.

There are many procedures in vogue today for the surgical correction of pathologic pes plano valgus deformity. The Silver opening wedge calcaneal osteotomy is utilized to correct excessive heel valgus and attempts to realign the heel under the weight-bearing surface of the tibia. It has no effect on the position or function of the subtalar joint. Midtarsal joint stress is decreased and the foot retains its ability to adapt to uneven terrain. The procedure is rarely used alone and is most frequently combined with heel cord lengthening or gastrocnemius tendon recession. In this presentation, the authors review the indications, contraindications, fundamentals of bone grafting, surgical technique, postoperative care and possible complications of the Silver calcaneal osteotomy. Preliminary results based on 10 cases during the past 3 years have been favorable.

The Evans calcaneal osteotomy for correction of flexible flatfoot syndrome.

The Evans calcaneal osteotomy is used to correct the flexible flatfoot deformity. The procedure restores functional integrity to the medial longitudinal arch and reestablishes the locking mechanism of the midtarsal joint complex. A preliminary analysis of 36 cases (50 feet) performed at Atlanta Hospital and Medical Center during the past 3 years has yielded favorable results.
