The predominance of several musculoskeletal foot conditions in women are largely the result of biomechanical alterations caused by ill-fitting shoes. In particular, the altered biomechanics (associated with high-heeled shoes and shoes with a narrowed toe box) has been linked to the genesis of hallux valgus, hammer toe deformity, Haglund syndrome, metatarsal stress fracture, Freiberg infraction, and Morton neuroma. In reviewing the imaging findings of several of these conditions, we emphasize the role of radiographs, special radiographic views, and the utility of more costly studies, such as magnetic resonance imaging.

Changes in pressure distribution of the solar surface after a single trimming event are associated with external hoof measurements in the equine fore foot.
Equine Vet J
January 2025
Department of Equine Clinical Science, Institute of Infection, Veterinary and Ecological Sciences, University of Liverpool, Neston, UK.
Background: Trimming is critical for a functioning equine hoof. Pressure distribution provides information on loading; however, information on the effects of trimming on pressure distribution is lacking.
Objectives: To describe the pressure changes of equine fore feet following trimming.
Podiatric Clinical Triage in a Foot and Ankle Orthopaedic Clinic: A Randomised Trial.
J Eval Clin Pract
February 2025
Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma, Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service, Southport, Queensland, Australia.
Rationale: Hospitals are increasingly utilising allied-health professionals to provide clinical triage to patients. While these positions are routinely implemented, and several observational studies have reported positive outcomes, the effectiveness of this intervention has been rarely tested in a clinical trial.
Aims And Objectives: The objectives of this study were to (i) evaluate a podiatry-led orthopaedic triage service using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and (ii) determine if it is cost-effective in terms of incremental cost/quality-adjusted life years (QALYs).
New Surgical Approach and Rehabilitation After Cemented Total Ankle Arthroplasty.
Cureus
December 2024
Orthopaedic Surgery, National Hospital Organization, Osaka Minami Medical Center, Kawachinagano, JPN.
Background: According to the conventional postoperative procedure after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) for end-stage osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), mobilization and weight-bearing are currently started after completion of wound healing. Recently, an early rehabilitation program after cemented TAA with a modified anterolateral approach has been attempted because this approach could provide stable wound healing. To investigate the possibility of expediting rehabilitation, this study evaluated the feasibility, safety, and universality of an early rehabilitation program after cemented TAA using a modified anterolateral approach, even when a surgeon was completely changed.
