To report a case of chondrosarcoma of right big toe with left orbital and left infra temporal metastases. Chondrosarcoma is the second most frequent primary malignant tumour of the bone. A 56 year old man had history of trauma on his right big toe, which was amputated and the biopsy in 2011 at Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) revealed chondrosarcoma with clear margins. Eventually the patient was presented with swelling of the left eye, pain and gradual loss of vision of that eye. Later a CT scan of his chest, brain and orbit showed pulmonary and pleural based nodule, with mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy representing metastatic deposit in left orbit, extending to left infra temporal region. A treatment of palliative chemotherapy was started with doxorubicin and ifosfamide, after which he was referred for radiotherapy. At that time he had loss of vision, pain and exopthalamus, and palliative radiotherapy was delivered to the left orbit with the prescribed dose of30 Gy/300cGy×10 fraction. Thereafter his case will be followed up at the oncology OPD after a 03 month interval.

Minimally-invasive Distal Metatarsal Diaphyseal Osteotomy in the Treatment of Plantar Ulcer in the Diabetic Foot: A Case Report.

The diabetic foot consumes a large number of resources and has a profound negative impact on quality of life, representing the major non-traumatic cause of lower limb amputation in adults. The present report describes a diabetic patient with a recurrent plantar ulcer in the topography of the heads of the second, third, and fourth metatarsals. The patient was treated using the distal metatarsal diaphyseal osteotomy (DMDO) technique in these bones, an Akin-type percutaneous osteotomy in the proximal phalanx of the hallux, and debridement.

Background Declines in foot somatosensory function can negatively impact balance and daily activities, particularly in older adults and individuals with neurological conditions. Despite this, effective physical therapeutic interventions to improve foot sensory function are limited. This study assessed the effects of targeted foot somatosensory training on plantar sensory function in healthy young adults.

Background: Normal dorsiflexion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint during dynamic activities is critical for effective propulsion. Therapeutic foot orthotics may address the pathomechanical loading and joint kinematics issues faced by this population. This study aims to evaluate the effect of two different types of Custom-made foot orthosis compared to shod condition on the stiffness of the rearfoot, midfoot, and 1st metatarsophalangeal joint during walking in patients with Structural Hallux Limitus.

Background: Viscosupplementation consists of intraarticular hyaluronic acid injections applied to treat pain and improve joint mobility. The objective of the study was to analyze the improvement of the range of mobility of the first metatarsophalangeal joint with a single dose of cross-linked hyaluronic acid.
Methods: Ten fresh frozen specimens of feet sectioned below the knee were selected.

Background: This study aimed to compare the prevalence of hallux valgus interphalangeus (HVI) in juvenile-onset hallux valgus and adult-onset hallux valgus and to analyze the correlation between the hallux interphalangeal angle (HIA) and other radiographic parameters in juvenile-onset hallux valgus.
Methods: This retrospective study included 640 feet and 320 patients with hallux valgus (160 juvenile-onset and 160 adult-onset cases). Eight radiographic parameters were measured: HIA, hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle, talonavicular coverage angle, anteroposterior talocalcaneal angle, lateral talocalcaneal angle, lateral talo-first metatarsal angle, and calcaneal pitch.
