Iatrogenically induced hallux varus.

Hallux varus is not uncommon after hallux valgus surgery. Through understanding of its cause, this deformity may be easily avoided with thorough preoperative evaluation, meticulous and deliberate intraoperative technique, and early postoperative diagnosis. By recognizing these factors, one can significantly reduce the predilection toward hallux varus. Once the diagnosis has been made, aggressive treatment is warranted, in the hope of minimizing the complexity of joint disorientation and surgical repair.

Intratendinous ganglionic cyst.

The authors present a review and case presentation of an intratendinous ganglionic cyst. This rare entity is discussed with emphasis on its pathogenesis, microscopic anatomy, and clinical occurrence to aid in the differential diagnosis with other cystic type lesions that may occur in the foot. A case report is presented to demonstrate this unusual lesion, and the surgical approach used to excise the affected peroneus brevis tendon.

Tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis of a failed ankle fusion.

When previous attempts at ankle fusion have led to nonunion and destruction of both the talar body and its associated joint surfaces, treatment alternatives are limited. A case is presented where this type of pathology was addressed with a method of tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis that is rarely reported. This salvage procedure was completely successful in relieving the patient's symptoms in over 8 years of follow-up. The procedure and surgical alternatives are discussed in detail.

Epigard: a synthetic skin substitute with application to podiatric wound management.

The authors present a synthetic skin substitute, Epigard, which was developed in 1973 and has been used worldwide for temporary coverage of open wounds. Epigard is a two-layer, non-medicated wound dressing which approximates the function of human skin. The article discusses the proper indications and usage of Epigard, as well as post operative wound management and definitive wound closure decisions. A case presentation involving a serious diabetic wound infection is discussed. At Doctors Hospital, Epigard has become an important adjunctive therapy in wound management by improving wound healing time and decreasing patient hospital stay.
