The split peroneus longus lateral ankle stabilization procedure.

The authors present an interesting approach to lateral ankle stabilization using the peroneus longus tendon. The more commonly utilized procedures for instability of the ankle complex, rationale for use of the peroneus longus tendon, and the details of the split peroneus longus lateral ankle stabilization procedure are presented. When evaluating patients with lateral ankle joint instability, the subtalar joint (STJ) complex needs to be assessed. In addition, the role of STJ instability and its relationship to lateral ankle joint instability are discussed.

Keratoacanthoma or verrucous carcinoma? A case report.

A 75-year-old woman presented with a slow growing lesion on the plantar surface of her right foot, which had changed in appearance over several months. The patient underwent excision of the suspicious lesion, and a provisional diagnosis of keratoacanthoma was given. However, approximately three months later, the lesion grew to its original size. Subsequent re-evaluation and consultation resulted in changing of the diagnosis to verrucous squamous cell carcinoma. The patient underwent a wider excision with split thickness skin grafting. The authors discuss this rare pedal entity and the inherent difficulty in both its clinical and microscopic differentiation.
