The spectrum of myoepithelial tumors usually occur in the salivary glands, and occasionally in the skin, breast, upper aero-digestive tract, and soft tissues. The myoepithelial tumors have no sex predominance and usually present within a wide range of age of distribution around the third and fifth decades. We describe a 12 year old male patient with primary malignant myoepithelial tumor in the foot plantar soft tissues. Including this tumor with unusual location, and age of presentation is essential in the differential diagnosis for soft tissue tumors in the pediatric population.

Pilot Study: Human Adipose Tissue Allograft for Fat Pad Defects in Patients With Preulcerative Lesions.

Britecyte, Inc., Frederick, MD.
Background: Loss or displacement of a fat pad on the foot increases plantar pressure, leading to pain and plantar ulcers. These ulcers, especially in patients with diabetic neuropathy, have high recurrence rates, often resulting in amputations. Standard of care focuses on reducing plantar pressure with shoe padding or orthotic devices, leaving the restoration of the fat pad as an unmet medical need.

Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is a condition characterized by the lateral deviation of the first phalanx and medial deviation of the first metatarsal, leading to subluxation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Various orthotic applications are employed in the treatment of HV deformity. This study aimed to compare the effects of a toe separator (TS) and dynamic orthosis (DO) on hallux valgus angle (HVA), plantar pressure (PP), and quality of life (QoL).

Introduction: The plantar plate, also called the plantar ligament, is a fibrocartilaginous structure found in the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) and interphalangeal (IP) joints. Our study aimed to evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed with the patient in the standard position or with joint hyperextension (the "stress test", ST) in the study of plantar plate (PP) disease that involves metatarsophalangeal joints.
Materials And Methods: All patients underwent forefoot MRI (Atroscan C, Esaote, Genoa, Italy), operating at 0.
Association of Weight-Bearing Activity and Prognosis of Plantar Melanoma: An Unanticipated Perspective.

Background: In the development of plantar melanoma, it is suspected that mechanical stress caused by weight-bearing activities, such as walking, rather than ultraviolet exposure, may play a significant role, showing a concentrated prevalence in areas of the foot where weight-bearing actions are prevalent. However, research investigating whether such mechanical stress influences disease prognosis has been limited. This study was designed to investigate the association between weight-bearing activity and the oncologic outcomes of patients with plantar melanoma.

Hard-to-heal wounds represent a global and growing medical and economic burden. Skin autografting is a useful treatment option but is often limited by donor site morbidity, logistical considerations, and grafting success in compromised wound beds. Combining autologous skin cell suspension (ASCS) technology with minced dermal grafts can allow for dermal elements and epithelial healing as well as closed donor sites.
