This lecture will give you a better understanding of what is a nonunuion and how to treat the problem

About Lecture

Total knee arthroplasty is now performed over 1 million times per year in the United States. The lecture will discuss the pathomechanics that produce osteoarthritis of the knee as well as the resultant foot compensations that develop. It will discuss what foot function to expect after surgery and how that foot function affects the mechanical stress on the artificial knee joint, and why the patient may have some residual symptoms. It will then give an approach for the podiatrist to help the knee replacement patient achieve the best possible function and decrease the stress on the new knee.

This lecture will give you a better understanding of the great toe implants available to correct hallux limitus and rigitus.

About Lecture

Hip replacement continues to be a common orthopedic procedure with an ever-increasing number each year. Most patients, after surgery have some mild asymmetry in function of the two extremities, which can have adverse effects on the back, the hip or the lower legs. The lecture will discuss the evaluation of the various asymmetries and give guidance for the clinician in addressing the asymmetries that may be seen.

Hammertoe surgical correction is the most common foot surgical proceedure done, yet it is the one that is the easiest to screw up. The key is understanding hammertoe as a multi-planer deformity and thus correcting the deforming forces.

During this presentaion you will: Acquire a knowledge of how Negative Pressure Wound Therapy is used with Collagen Matrix with ORC and Silver and Examine the specific patient case study in detail, including wound characteristics, patient history, and clinical context

About Lecture

This presentation deals with the pathology of Charcot midfoot deformity and the challenges associated with reconstruction. Will also discuss the different types of fixation for maintaining the correction with advantages and disadvantages of each type of fixation.

About Lecture

The Styloid process ulceration with underlying osteomyelitis presents a real problem because the classic teaching is not to remove the styloid process because that is where the peroneus brevis inserts. The peroneus brevis is the strongest everter of the foot. The goal of this presentation is to describe how I manage styloid infections in a staged fashion with transfer of the peroneals to the cuboid.

About Lecture

Cruelty to children and elder individuals by adults and caregivers has been documented throughout history and across cultures. In 2020, there were 3.9 million referrals to child protective agencies in the United States. As of 2020, 8.4 of every 1,000 children in the United States were victims of abuse and/or neglect. As health care professionals who treat children and elders, podiatrists have both a moral and legal obligation to become familiar with the forms of child and elder abuse and their signs. The podiatric physician’s responsibilities include identification, prevention, treatment, and reporting of both child and elder abuse. Finally, some states have identified who are mandatory reporting healthcare professionals, a review of these list sometimes include podiatric physicians, the reality is that podiatric physicians need to adopt a practice of due diligence and heighten suspension when the history of occurrence does not match the presenting evidence.

About Lecture

The presentation involves discussing the mechanism of the injury, classification systems and fixation techniques. Will also discuss intraoperative evaluation of the injury. Will review criteria for performing closed reduction, open reduction and when to fuse the tarsometatarsal joint.

About Lecture

The goal of this lecture is to describe the indications for performing a guillotine transmetatarsal amputation vs a long plantar flap TMA with primary closure or delayed primary closure. Cases of gTMA and long plantar flap TMA will be reviewed. Dr Yaeger will then review the post-operative management of Guillotine TMAs. He will also describe when to intervene from a vascular standpoint when considering TMA. Lastly, Dr Yaeger will review and describe complications.

This lecture will discuss the newly updated 2023 IWGDF Guidelines for Diabetic Foot Wounds including pathophysiology, risk factors, evaluation, and recommended current treatments for such wounds. All recommendations are evidence-based, relying most frequently on recently published randomized clinical trials that support such recommendations.

About Lecture

The lecture entitled "Chronic Wounds: The Fight Against Biofilm" provides an in-depth analysis and details the epidemiology, social, and economic impact Chronic Wounds have in today's wound care space. The lecture also provides literature-based modalities and new methodologies in the treatment of Chronic Wounds geared towards the reduction and eradication of Biofilm.

About Lecture

All edema is a result of lymphatic dysfunction (either acute or chronic, temporary, or permanent) and recognized clinically as lymphedema; all edema is lymphedema. This fundamental scientific principle of modern lymphatic medicine is a pivotal key to moving lymphedema therapy and wound management forward to an integrated model of care. This session will explain this paradigm shift through the lens of the VAIL (interconnection of the Venous, Arterial, Integumentary and Lymphatic systems) and endothelial glycocalyx layer, with an emphasis on the clinical implications.

About Lecture

During this presentation you will: Increase awareness about the importance of effective lower extremity wound management and its impact on overall well-being and Share real life success stories of patients who have effectively managed their lower extremity wounds

The Lecture entitled “EZDebride: The Next Generation in Sharp Debridement” demonstrates the use and capabilities of the EZDebride wound instrument along with the many advantages over traditional surgical instrumentation. The lecture provides actual sharp tissue debridement on multiple wound types in the preparation of the wound bed and eradication of Biofilm while mitigating the common problems of traditional sharp debridement including bleeding and pain.

The lecture titled “Surgical Offloading-Time Tested” will explore the various surgical procedures used to prevent and heal ulcers. The procedures to be discussed are those with positive outcomes and are well supported by medical evidence. The surgical procedures in the presentation include forefoot, rearfoot, and soft tissue and osseous procedures.

In this presentation, we will briefly review the pathophysiology of Charcot neuroarthropathy and the contributing factors contributing to the high rate of complications. We will then focus on the new developments that will help improve outcomes in Charcot neuroarthropathy by targeting key areas of the pathophysiology.

About Lecture

Acute Limb Ischemia (ALI) is an abrupt cessation of blood flow to the limb due to an embolus, thrombus, or trauma. This is a medical and surgical emergency with a clinical presentation of 6ps (Pain, Paresthesias, Pulselessness, Pallor, Paralysis, Poikilothermia). If a timely diagnosis is not made, this could result in acute renal failure, amputation, and death. This lecture discusses the importance of early diagnosis of ALI, early medical interventions, and urgent vascular consultation to prevent complications.
