Analysis of Micromotion in a Talonavicular Arthrodesis With and Without a Calcaneal Displacement Osteotomy in a Cadaver Model.

The isolated talonavicular joint arthrodesis can be beneficial to correct midfoot deformities involving the talonavicular joint, including collapsing pes planovalgus. Studies show that isolated talonavicular arthrodesis has a higher nonunion rate because of micromotion; thus, other procedures should be used in conjunction with it. We sought to determine if adding an adjunctive medial calcaneal displacement osteotomy helps to reduce the ground reactive force and, therefore, the micromotion on the talonavicular joint.

Ciprofloxacin-Induced Bullae of the Lower Extremity: A Case of a Fixed Drug Reaction.

Cutaneous adverse drug reactions make up 1% to 2% of all adverse drug reactions. From these adverse cutaneous drug reactions, 16% to 21% can be categorized as fixed drug reactions (FDR). Fixed drug reactions may show diverse morphology including but not limited to the following: dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, urticaria, morbilliform exanthema, hypersensitivity syndrome, pigmentary changes, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, photosensitivity, and vasculitis.
