Surgical treatment of acquired flatfoot deformity: what is the state of practice among academic foot and ankle surgeons in 2002?

Purpose: This study was performed to review the present approach to the surgical treatment of acquired flatfoot deformity among a cross section of academic foot and ankle surgeons in the United States.

Methods: A typical case of stage II posterior tibial tendon dysfunction was developed. The hypothetical patient was a healthy 62-year-old male with a symptomatic acquired flatfoot deformity with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction.

Sonographic detection of in utero isolated cerebellar hemorrhage.

Cerebellar hemorrhage is a relatively rare phenomenon in neonates, and most cases are associated with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Prenatally diagnosed intracranial hemorrhage is rare, and diagnoses of cerebellar hemorrhage are even rarer. In our literature search, we discovered 3 cases of prenatal diagnosis of cerebellar hemorrhage, all accompanied by IVH.
