Achilles tendinitis.

Achilles tendinitis is a common condition of overuse seen in active individuals. It is multifactorial, usually due to a combination of anatomic and biomechanical characteristics along with poor training technique. Pathologic changes can involve the surrounding tissue (bursae, paratenon) or the tendon itself and can occur both at its insertion into the calcaneous and the critical hypovascular zone. A clear understanding of the cause and stage of the condition is critical for successful treatment, be it conservative or surgical. Recent advances in surgical technique and postoperative rehabilitation have been promising in returning individuals to their previous levels of activity.

Metatarsal osteotomy using a double-threaded compression screw: an adjunct to revision forefoot surgery.

A double-threaded compression screw (Herbert) was used as internal fixation of metatarsal neck osteotomy and nonunion repair in 16 patients (18 feet). Fifteen patients had associated symptomatic conditions of the foot. Twelve patients had one or more previous surgical procedures on the involved foot. Fourteen patients (15 feet) underwent 20 primary or revision lesser metatarsal osteotomies. Four of these patients had undergone previous lesser metatarsal osteotomies and had developed recurrent pain beneath six metatarsals and transfer metatarsalgia in one case. The remaining two patients (three feet), with six nonunions from previous metatarsal osteotomies, had repair with screw fixation and bone grafting. Follow-up for the series averaged 14 months.
