Differentiating Achilles Insertional Calcific Tendinosis and Haglund ’s Deformity
This article discusses how these 2 entities are differentiated clinically and how their surgical management is different. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Plantar Fasciitis/Fasciosis
Many randomized controlled trials demonstrate the effectiveness of conservative treatment of plantar fasciitis. Patients with acute plantar fasciitis generally respond to treatment more rapidly and more predictably than patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. If conservative treatment fails, endoscopic plantar fasciotomy offers patients a more prompt return to activity compared with open procedures. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Biologics in the Treatment of Achilles Tendon
The treatment of Achilles tendinitis from conservative to minimally invasive to surgery gives patients a wide range of treatment options for this common pathology. The use and role of biologics to augment this treatment is emerging. The use of biologics may enhance the healing potential of the Achilles tendon when conservative treatment fails. There are a handful of biologics being investigated to obtain if improved outcomes can be maximized. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Biologics in the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis has been considered an acute inflammatory disorder. However, the local histologic findings represent a more chronic, degenerative state without inflammation. Patients may be stuck in a chronic state of cyclical inflammation leading to tissue degeneration, refractory symptoms, and disability. This idea process has influenced the treatment approach of some practitioners who have implemented the idea of regenerative medicine and use of biologic adjuvants in the treatment of plantar heel pain. Biologic therapies provide many different cellular components, growth factors, and proteins to restore normal tissue ...

Os Trigonum Syndrome
This article offers an overview of os trigonum syndrome, complications, operative techniques, and the authors ’ preferred protocol. Os trigonum is an ossicle like many other ossicles in the foot and ankle. Individuals who require repetitive plantarflexion of the ankle for activity may develop symptoms of an enlarged os trigonum. Usually, symptoms will be isolated to the posteriolateral aspect of the ankle . Because of the normal anatomic route of the flexor hallucis longus tendon, its range of motion may also elicit pain to the posterolateral ankle. Conservative, as well as surgical including both endoscopic and open exc...

Posterior and Plantar Heel Pain Pathologic Conditions
It is a great honor to present this issue of Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery on “Posterior and Plantar Heel Pain.” These are pathologic conditions that foot and ankle surgeons deal with daily and can be difficult to diagnose and manage. Foot and ankle surgeons must have deep knowledge on the differential diagnoses as well as treatment options for posterior and plantar heel pain. Often, these pathologic conditions present with similar signs and symptoms. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Posterior and Plantar Heel Pain
Heel pain is arguably the most common presentation in any foot and ankle clinic. Most clinics will likely see 10% to 20% of their new patients present with some form of heel pain, and most commonly plantar fasciitis. We are extremely capable of providing high-level treatment options for first-time patients, which include physical therapy techniques, oral and injectable anti-inflammatory medications, and supportive orthotic devices. Nonsurgical approaches have become the standard of care with early treatment and are 90% to 95% successful. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Calcaneal Bone Tumors
Bone tumors of the foot are an uncommon finding. Most tumors are found incidentally on imaging and are benign. Care must be taken although due to the aggressive nature of malignant bone tumors that can occur in the calcaneus. Malignant lesions will more commonly present with symptoms of pain and swelling. Often misdiagnosed as soft tissue injuries, it is critical to be able to diagnose and treat these lesions early. Imaging plays an important role with plain films and advanced imaging. Surgical treatments can range from curettage with grafting to amputation for more aggressive lesions. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

The Role of Bone Marrow Aspirate in Osseous and Soft Tissue Pathology
Bone marrow aspirate (BMA) is an emerging therapy that is gaining popularity for orthoplastic reconstruction. The stem cells collected are multipotent and regenerative in nature. In addition to stem cells, other biological components collected augment the mitogen of local cells, proliferation, and angiogenesis, and inhibit proinflammatory cytokine and bacteria to optimize an environment to heal. The most common site for harvest is the iliac crest. Techniques for harvesting BMA are simple to perform, financially modest, and associated with low morbidity. Additional research is needed to evolve and standardize the technology...

Surgical Treatment Protocol for Peripheral Nerve Dysfunction of the Lower Extremity
To date, more than 150 surgical techniques have been described for the treatment of intractable nerve pain. However, owing to their technical complexity, as well as the lack of comparative studies in the literature, there is currently no consensus on the appropriate management of this often debilitating condition. Therefore, we present our surgical algorithm, based on Seddon ’s classification to differentiate the degree of nerve injury, and subsequent treatment course for the management of lower extremity neurogenic pain.
