Plantar thrombophlebitis is a rare abnormality with few cases reported in the literature. Coexistence with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection increases its relevance. The disease is generally classified as idiopathic, and it is suggested that it is attributed to conditions that lead to hypercoagulability. We present the case of a 68-year-old female patient with thrombosis of the lateral plantar veins and a diagnosis of coronavirus disease of 2019. The plantar vein thrombosis diagnosis was made by means of Doppler ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection was suspected per clinical information and confirmed with reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction technique. Treatment was successful using rivaroxaban and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs.

Endoscopic Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon Transfer for the Treatment of Chronic Achilles Tendon Defects.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech
January 2025
The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Columbus, Ohio.
Background: An all-inside endoscopic flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer is indicated for the treatment of chronic, full-thickness Achilles tendon defects. The aim of this procedure is to restore function of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex while avoiding the wound complications associated with open procedures.
Description: This procedure can be performed through 2 endoscopic portals, a posteromedial portal (the working portal) and a posterolateral portal (the visualization portal).
Percutaneous Screw Fixation of Proximal Fifth Metatarsal Fractures.

Department of Orthopaedics Foot and Ankle Surgery, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio.
Article Synopsis
- Metatarsal fractures, particularly affecting the fifth metatarsal, are common injuries, making up 5-6% of outpatient fractures, with zone 2 fractures—specifically Jones fractures—being difficult to manage due to poor blood supply and higher nonunion rates.
- Surgical treatment, particularly open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), is preferred for Jones fractures, as it leads to better healing rates compared to conservative treatment methods.
- The surgical technique involves careful anatomical marking and using a guidewire for screw placement to compress the fracture, followed by a recovery period that includes non-weight-bearing and gradual weight-bearing activities.*
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization plus Sorafenib versus transcatheter arterial chemoembolization plus Lenvatinib for intermediate hepatocellular carcinoma.
Sci Rep
October 2024
Department of Respiratory, The Eighth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, 100091, China.
Background: Recent studies have highlighted that TACE in conjunction with Lenvatinib (TACE-L) offers a promising adjunct therapy for advanced HCC patients, outperforming TACE plus Sorafenib (TACE-S). However, there has been a lack of research comparing these two regimens for intermediate HCC.
Aims: This study aims to address the research gap by evaluating the efficacy of TACE-L versus TACE-S in intermediate HCC patients.

Objective: Ambulatory venous pressure (AVP) is the drop of pressure observed in the superficial veins of the lower leg during movement. This phenomenon has been linked to the function of the calf muscle pump (CMP) and the competence of venous valves. Nevertheless, the concept of the CMP function remains controversial.

Article Synopsis
- Foot and ankle disorders are frequent during pregnancy due to changes in weight, hormones, and fluid balance, leading to issues like varicose veins, DVT, and tendon injuries.* -
- Ultrasound is highlighted as a safe and non-invasive diagnostic tool, particularly effective for assessing venous conditions and differentiating causes of edema; it provides real-time imaging without radiation.* -
- The technology also aids in diagnosing musculoskeletal problems and detecting foreign bodies, making it a cost-effective and accessible option for improving patient outcomes in pregnant women.*
