About Lecture

Over the years many tools have been developed to assess the transverse and sagittal plane abnormalities in hallux valgus deformity, however the coronal plane evaluation of the deformity has been problematic and led to disagreements about the movements of the bones of the medial column. In the past 10 years, weightbearing CT scan has been utilized to markedly increase our knowledge about the coronal plane movements of the medial column of the foot that produces hallux valgus. This lecture will review important papers on the subject and explain the various evaluation tools that will become more important in the future to document the severity of the deformity and develop surgical approaches that pinpoint the etiology of the deformity.

About Lecture

Medial ankle instability presents itself with a myriad of etiologies that can challenge a practitioner. Identifying the etiology, presenting symptoms, differential diagnoses, and treatment approaches to this phenomenon helps prevent misdiagnosis that may result in adverse outcomes. Practitioners need to conduct a thorough clinical examination, including imaging studies, to accurately diagnose medial ankle instability.

About Lecture

The goal of this lecture is to review the different modalities of diagnosing PAD, to describe the available vascular interventions, and to review cases that highlight performing podiatric interventions on patients to have undergone angiograms and bypasses. We will also review the correct order of operations when a vasculopath with an infection requires procedures by both the vascular surgeon or interventionalist and the podiatric surgeon. 

About Lecture

Topical corticosteroids are one of the oldest and most useful treatments for lower extremity dermatologic conditions. There are many topical steroids available, and they differ in potency and formulation. Successful treatment depends on an accurate diagnosis and consideration of the steroid's delivery vehicle, potency, frequency of application, duration of treatment, and side effects.

John Evans, DPM, DABFAS, FACFAS, will discuss the state of Peripheral Artery Disease in 2025 with an emphasis on what all lower extremity specialists should be aware of.

About Lecture

In this talk, Dr Robert Frykberg will thoroughly discuss the implications and presentations of ischemia in the diabetic foot and the risk for amputation when PAD is not addressed. Based on published evidence and guidelines, we will discuss diagnosis as well as management strategies for this limb threatening complication of diabetes.”

About Lecture

Windy Cole, DPM, CWSP, FFPM RCPS (Glasg) reviews current published consensus guidelines from IWII, WRR, and NPIAP that tell us that debridement is vital to the wound healing process. Slough or necrotic tissue in the wound can promote bacterial growth and prevent the formation of healthy granulation tissue. Dr Cole provides guidance around when and how to perform debridement in wound management.

Osteomyelitis of the calcaneus is a significant problem that can lead to limb loss, management of calcaneal OM and wounds is not clear cut.

About Lecture

In this session, Arthur Tarricone, DPM, MPH will provide a comprehensive overview of the evaluation and management of diabetic foot infections, with a focus on accurate classification and diagnosis. Learners will review current approaches to classifying diabetic foot infections, emphasizing the clinical features that guide severity assessment and treatment decisions. Special attention will be given to the diagnosis of osteomyelitis, including the role of physical examination, imaging, and laboratory testing. Finally, the lecture will present and critically appraise data comparing medical and surgical treatment strategies for diabetic foot osteomyelitis, equipping learners with evidence-based insights to guide clinical practice.

About Lecture

Diabetic foot and venous leg ulcers continue to drive morbidity, costs, and amputations despite advances in care. In this session, Thomas Serena, MD, FACS, FACHM, MAPWCA, reviews the clinical evidence for Cellular, Acellular and Matrix-Like Products (CAMPS). The presentation will explore the potential impact of the final Medicare Administrative Contractors (MAC) local coverage determinations (LCD) issued on November 14, 2024, and the subsequent decision to delay the effective date until January 1, 2026. The second half of the lecture will introduce modern master-protocol approaches for wound products such as modified platform trials, trials with matched controls, and basket designs. Attendees will leave with up-to-date knowledge on the future of CAMP coverage and reimbursement. Providers will be encouraged to learn more about participating in clinical research.
