An Update on Pediatric Flatfoot
The pediatric flatfoot can include multiple planes of deformity and concomitant concerns such as metatarsus adductus and equinus. Each aspect of the deformity must be carefully evaluated before any surgical planning. The goal of surgery should be an improvement in symptoms by creating a controllable foot with a reduction of deforming forces. There are multiple procedures that can be used for the pediatric flatfoot, including the Evans calcaneal osteotomy, the Cotton medial cuneiform osteotomy, the medial calcaneal slide osteotomy, and arthroereisis implants. Each contributes in a specific way to the overall deformity corre...

Ligament Insufficiency with Flatfoot
The objective of this article was to review the deltoid ligament and spring ligament specifically as they pertain to ligament insufficiency and adult-acquired flatfoot deformity. Discussion includes the normal and abnormal biomechanical forces that extend through these ligaments in normal and flatfoot deformity. Current literature related to spring ligament repair as part of the flatfoot deformity reconstruction is also reviewed. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Double versus Triple Arthrodesis for Flatfoot Deformity
Different types of arthrodesis for flatfoot deformity have a long history in foot and ankle surgery. Arthrodesis of the rearfoot can be a useful tool in helping correct deformity and maintaining that correction with good long-term results. Questions have risen recently however about the necessity of including the calcaneocuboid joint in the traditional rearfoot arthrodesis or triple arthrodesis. The double arthrodesis of the talonavicular and subtalar joints has grown in popularity and this review helps the reader choose with a review of the biomechanics, surgical approaches, fixation techniques and recent literature outco...

Ankle Joint Salvage for Rigid Flatfoot Deformity
Rigid flatfoot deformity with valgus ankle instability is a complex condition to treat. Thorough clinical and radiographic evaluation is vital to determine treatment strategies. Nonoperative treatment usually relies on bracing or various orthoses. Surgical interventions include ligament reconstruction, osteotomies, arthrodesis, arthroplasty, or a combination of these procedures. Before addressing the ankle deformity, a plantigrade foot is important so a staged approach may be necessary. Misalignment of the ankle replacement can lead to edge loading and early failure. As the implants and our understanding of ankle arthropla...

Approach to the Ankle in Adult Acquired Flatfoot Deformity
Adult acquired flatfoot is a progressive deformity of the foot and ankle, which frequently becomes increasingly symptomatic. The posterior tibial tendon is most commonly associated with the deformity. A targeted physical examination with plain film radiographs is the recommended initial assessment, which will further guide a physician toward procuring more advanced imaging or toward surgical intervention. In this chapter the authors review the current literature of their approach to the treatment of the ankle in end stage of adult acquired flatfoot deformity.

Pediatric Sports Trauma
Pediatric foot and ankle fractures are common in athletic participation. Treatment of pediatric sports trauma must take into account the unique challenges this population presents, and aim to minimize long-term complications. Given the excellent remodeling potential of pediatric bone, conservative treatment can often be used. However, a thorough understanding of physeal anatomy, fracture patterns, and biomechanics is needed to guide treatment choice and determine when surgical intervention is warranted.

Acute Ankle Sprains
Understanding the types of ankle sprains is essential in determining the most appropriate treatment and preventing substantial missed time from sports. Commonly known and recognized is an acute lateral ankle sprain, however, a differentiation should also be made to understand high (syndesmotic) ankle sprains as the mechanism of injury and recovery periods differ between these two types.

First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Pathology in the Athlete
Movement of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is an essential function of many sports. Because of the high demand on this relatively small joint, it is prone to the development of several notable pathologic derangements that can prevent full and pain-free athletic performance. A complete understanding of the joint anatomy and a careful physical examination and history collection is crucial to identifying an accurate diagnosis. Treatment should be pathology specific and should keep in mind the career expectations of the athlete. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Current Concepts in Sports Medicine
I have been most fortunate to have been a team podiatrist or consultant for professional and college teams in baseball, football, basketball, soccer, track and field, and dance over the last three decades. When I first entered these roles, I had thought I was well prepared to treat the variety of foot and ankle injuries that occur in sports having been in practice for some time. I soon discovered that there is no book, seminar, education, or practice background that fully prepares you for these elite athletes. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Sports Medicine
Many students and future Doctors of Podiatric Medicine first entered this specialty of medicine being drawn to an interest in sports-related injuries. I know that was true for me. I remember the excitement of hearing Dr George Sheehan, the world-renowned sports physician, as a student in the Sports Medicine Club during medical school. Under the guidance of Dr Howard Palamarchuk, we were also allowed to participate in the Runners Medical Tent at the Boston Marathon each year. My early exposure to the world of Sports Medicine was an exciting one. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)
