Clinicopathologic Characterization of Kaposi Sarcoma on the Foot and Ankle: Analysis of 11 Patients Seen in Our Clinics.

Background: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) has multiple clinical variants, and most frequently presents on the lower extremities. Anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) therapy has significantly reduced the incidence of KS. However, KS is still prevalent in both HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected patients.

Using a bone allograft to fixate proximal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis.

Unlabelled: Digital contractures are a very common deformity of the foot and ankle that require surgical correction. It has been shown that arthrodesis provides a better long-term result than arthroplasty of the interphalangeal joints. Arthroplasties usually require K-wire fixation that presents potential complications, such as pin tract infection.
