Article Synopsis
- The forefoot has a tricky structure, and using ultrasound (a special imaging technique) to see the nerves and diagnose conditions like Morton's neuroma can be tough.
- This paper explains how to properly use ultrasound to look at the muscles, tendons, and nerves in the forefoot, helping with better diagnosis.
- By understanding the anatomy and how it looks on ultrasound, doctors can better identify problems in the forefoot and decide how to treat patients.
Ankle Muscle Strength and Gait Function After Dorsal Closing Wedge Calcaneal Osteotomy for Haglund Exostosis-Related Heel Pain.
Foot Ankle Int

Human Performance Lab, Schulthess Clinic, Zurich, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- Haglund exostosis-related heel pain can be treated with dorsal closing wedge calcaneal osteotomy (DCWCO), which has shown promising clinical outcomes in recent studies.
- A study involving 15 patients measured ankle muscle strength and gait function before and a year after surgery, finding minor differences in strength between limbs and improving gait dynamics.
- Post-surgery, patients reported a 48% improvement in foot function, with 80% feeling significantly benefited by the procedure, suggesting effective long-term results from the surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Heel pain can stem from issues with the Achilles tendon, calcaneus (heel bone), or plantar fascia, with Achilles tendon conditions ranging from inflammation and degeneration to potential tears.* ! -
- Common calcaneus injuries include fractures, particularly intra-articular ones, and conditions like Haglund syndrome, which may require orthotics or surgery for correction.* ! -
- Plantar fasciitis is the leading cause of heel pain, often treatable through conservative methods, but severe cases may necessitate surgical interventions like plantar fasciotomy.* !
Assessing forefoot bursitis in rheumatoid arthritis: a comprehensive approach with ultrasound, MRI, and baropodometry.
Med Ultrason
March 2024
2nd Internal Medicine Department, "Iuliu Hatieganu" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca.
Aim: In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), forefoot bursitis is prevalent, with limited studies comparing ultrasonography (US) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This study aims to evaluate these bursae, providing a comparative analysis of US and MRI, and explore associations with demographic, disease-related factors, pain, clinical examination, and baropodometryin RA patients.
Material And Methods: Participants with RA were recruited from the day-hospital clinic.
