Retrocalcaneal problems.

The majority of retrocalcaneal problems may be treated conservatively, using a biomechanical approach with appropriate shoe modification, padding, orthoses, and injection therapy. When appropriate indications are present, calcaneal osteotomies should be considered, despite less indication for these procedures than for simple resection of the retrocalcaneal exostoses.

New and investigative procedures for flatfoot surgery.

For those patients who need it, surgical intervention for flatfoot at an early stage affords a better chance for favorable results. Various procedures that have stood the test of time and investigative procedures are presented. It is suggested that the podiatric surgeon concentrate on tested procedures and wait for further reports on investigative procedures.

A biomechanical approach to running injuries.

I have introduced the concept of controlling overuse syndromes by controlling the etiology. The etiology of most overuse syndromes is biomechanical deformity of the lower extremity as well as nonadherence to sound principles of training and conditioning. It is important to realize these factors to provide for many years of injury-free athletic involvement.
