Purpose: The interdigital nerve neuroma of the forefoot is commonly known as Morton's Neuroma. Many authors have described and treated this condition before and after Morton. This study aims to investigate the past scientific literature to better understand what comprehension and treatments have been used to master this pathology.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTumors of the foot are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that either affect soft tissues or bone, with a predominance being benign. Mistakes in the diagnosis of neoplastic conditions are common. A correct diagnostic approach supported by radiological and histological examination is mandatory.

The pathogenesis involves Human Herpes Virus 8 (HHV8) and genetic mutations such as SNP309 in the MDM2 gene. The recently discovered BPTF mutation in cells of CKS patients demonstrated higher latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) staining and altered vital transcriptomics, implicating a potential role in tumorigenesis.

This study aims to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients with diabetes affected by forefoot plantar preulcerative or ulcerative lesions who have undergone minimally invasive distal metatarsal diaphyseal osteotomy (MIS-DMDO) to assess its efficacy in the prevention and treatment of chronic plantar diabetic foot ulcers (CPDFUs).
Methods: The study included 60 patients, 38 with preulcers and 22 with ulcers, with at least 2 years of clinical and radiologic follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- * The study aimed to assess how the quadriceps femoris muscle contributes to knee extension and whether there are strength deficits in patients who have experienced a patellar dislocation, regardless of their treatment method.
- * After analyzing 10 studies involving 370 patients, the findings revealed that those with a history of patellar dislocation showed significant strength deficits in the quadriceps compared to healthy individuals, and these deficits can persist for up to three years post-injury.
