Platelet Rich Plasma (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, has become one of the most talked-about treatments in modern sports medicine, orthopedics, and podiatry. But does it actually work? In this first episode of season 3 we take a detailed look at the science behind PRP—from how it is prepared from a patient's own blood to the growth factors and signaling molecules that may influence tissue healing. We explore how PRP is used in orthopedics and foot and ankle medicine, including treatment of knee arthritis, plantar fasc
Arthroscopic Foot and Ankle Surgery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Up to this point we have discussed clinical and radiographic evaluation of foot and ankle pathology. While many if not most conditions can be treated based on these exams, actually seeing something dynamically through a camera can fundamentally change the way we diagnose and treat foot and ankle problems. Arthroscopy is a commonly utilized tool for evaluation of intraarticular disorders that may either be too small to image or involve actual evaluation of tissue condition. As an imaging tool thi
Surgery for the Rigid Flatfoot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A rigid flatfoot is no longer primarily a tendon problem—it is a structural deformity with loss of motion, joint degeneration, and often multiplanar malalignment. That distinction explains why procedures that work beautifully for flexible flatfoot can fail when applied to a rigid deformity. In this episode I will detail the clinical examination, procedural approaches, and patient expectations after surgery.
Surgery for the High Arch - Pes Cavus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode I discuss the high arch foot and surgical decision making. This process involves deformity evaluation for apex of condition, reducibility of the arch height, and soft tissue versus bone correction, including tendon transfers and osteotomies. While a relatively small percent of pathology, pes cavus is a difficult condition to surgically manage since the manifestation of the condition can have so many downstream effects.
Total Ankle Replacement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ankle joint replacement is a commonly sought out procedure. Relatively new technology has provided systems that have extreme accuracy in placement and consequently durability. But this has not always been the case. In this episode I will discuss the historical context of ankle replacement implants, their indications, contraindications, and post operative expectations.
