Department of Dermatology, Qingpu Branch of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University Shanghai, China.
Objective: To analyze the clinical application value of CO laser combined with 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy for periungual and plantar warts.
Methods: Data from patients with periungual and plantar warts treated at Qingpu branch of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University between August 2022 and January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. After screening based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 96 patients were included and categorized into two groups according to their treatment regimens: a combination group (n=50, receiving CO laser therapy and 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy) and a control group (n=46, undergoing CO laser treatment alone).
Minimally-invasive Distal Metatarsal Diaphyseal Osteotomy in the Treatment of Plantar Ulcer in the Diabetic Foot: A Case Report.
Rev Bras Ortop (Sao Paulo)

Grupo de Cirurgia do Pé e Tornozelo, Hospital Santa Izabel, Santa Casa de Misericórdia da Bahia, Salvador, BA, Brasil.
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: 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.
