[THERAPEUTIC GUIDE IN VENOUS ULCERS].

The treatment of venous ulcers and wounds in general, is a complex and important public health problem, with personal effects, family and health, without addressing the economic impact includes assistance, care of patients with ulcerative lesions. The increase in life expectancy, driven by improved socio-sanitary conditions that this aging population, facilitates the emergence of chronic diseases may be complicated by the presence of skin ulcers. There is no doubt that the best way to treat a skin ulcer is avoiding to occur, hence the importance of early diagnosis and risk factors act alone them.

A proposed subungual exostosis clinical classification and treatment plan.

Subungual exostosis is a slow-growing, benign outgrowth of normal bone under the nail that affects the nail unit. The most common location in the foot is the dorsal surface of the distal phalanx of the big toe. Clinically, it can appear in combination with a variety of nail disorders, masking the underlying bone condition, which is frequently unrecognized or misdiagnosed.

Effect of 7-degree rearfoot varus and valgus wedging on rearfoot kinematics and kinetics during the stance phase of walking.

Background: The scientific evidence behind the mechanical function of foot orthoses is still controversial. Research studies that have investigated the kinematic effect of foot orthoses on the lower extremity have shown variable results, with orthoses causing either no significant change or a small significant change in foot kinematics.

Methods: The right limbs of 12 healthy asymptomatic individuals were studied in three walking conditions: barefoot, with a 7 degrees rearfoot varus wedge, and with a 7 degrees rearfoot valgus wedge.

Analysis of gastrocnemius recession and medial column procedures as adjuncts in arthroereisis for the correction of pediatric pes planovalgus: a radiographic retrospective study.

Unlabelled: The radiographic outcomes of 28 feet in 20 pediatric patients with pes planovalgus treated with subtalar arthroereisis, arthroereisis combined with gastrocnemius recession, or arthroereisis combined with gastrocnemius recession and medial column reconstruction were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative and postoperative radiographic angles for talar declination, calcaneal inclination, and first metatarsal declination in the lateral view, and the angle formed between the longitudinal axis of the talus and the longitudinal axis of the lesser tarsus in the anteroposterior view were compared. Overall, analyses revealed statistically significant differences in the preoperative and postoperative radiographic angles for the 4 measured angles.
