Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis caused a severe talalgia and they were observed mainly in males with Reiter's syndrome or ankylosing spondylitis. On the other hand, sub-Achilles bursitis more frequently affected women with rheumatoid arthritis and rarely gave rise to severe talalgias. The simple calcaneal spur was associated with generalized osteoarthrosis and its frequency increased with age. This condition was not related to talalgias. Finally, clinical and radiological involvement of the subtalar and midtarsal joints were observed mainly in rheumatoid arthritis and occasionally caused apes valgoplanus. copyright.

  • Clinical Guidelines: Foot / Ankle
    Clinical Guidelines: Foot / Ankle Plantar Fasciitis/Heel spurs: Initial Evaluation: History includes usually atraumatic plantar medial heel pain, worst first thing in the morning or after prolonged sitting. Exam includes tenderness with deep palpation of the plantar medial heel. Squeezing the heel bone side to side is NOT tender, but if present could represent a calcaneal stress fracture. X-rays may or may not reveal a heel spur, but the spur is NOT the source of the pain despite podiatry frequently referring to this as “heel spur syndrome.” Follow-up: The plantar fascia is the soft tissue under our foot that runs from the heel to the toes, much like the palm of our hand; it is the sole of our foot. The plantar fascia stretch includes crossing your legs and dorsiflexing the ankle and stretching the toes into extension. This is the most effective stretch. A night splint is imperative for improvement and should be used at night for 6 weeks. Cortisone injections and physical therapy can be helpful. NSAIDS and a frozen water bottle rolled on the plantar foot could be used with the above treatment, but the most effective treatment is a night splint. Referral: 90% of heel pain resolves with non-op treatment, but make a referral to a foot / ankle ortho surgeon with any atypical heel pain or failure of 6-8 weeks of non-operative treatment. Atypical heel pain usually gets an MRI, but classic plantar fasciitis does not. Bunion (hallux valgus): Initial Treatment: Bunion deformity includes a bump on the medial side of the big toe, the big toe going the wrong way, and a widened forefoot.

  • Metatarsalgia
    Metatarsalgia Definition Metatarsalgia is a generic term for pain or discomfort in the sole of the forefoot (the ball of the foot). It is an inflammatory condition of the metatarsal heads due to a drop or collapse of the metatarsal arch. The arch flattens and the bone ends (metatarsal heads) move closer together causing the soft tissue to be pinched or trapped between the bones. With every step, the arch rises and falls causing repeated stress to the area. More specific type of Metatarsalgia can be: • Morton’s Neuroma ( nerve issue) • Bursitis • Arthritic joint change • Stress Fractures Symptoms • Vague pain, ache or burning in the sole of the forefoot, during weight-bearing activities • Tingling / numbness in toes • Sharp or shooting pain in toes • Aggravated when dorsi-flexing (lifting) toes • Callousing under 2nd, 3rd and 4th toes • Feeling of “walking on pebbles” Causes Anything that puts extra stress on the forefoot can cause Metatarsalgia. Common examples are: • Use of improper footwear (i.e. high-heeled shoes and boots) • High-arched or “cavus” foot or flat arch feet “pes planus” which causes the bones in the front of the foot (metatarsals) to point down into the sole to an excessive extent, or a long metatarsal bone which takes extra pressure • Claw or hammer toes which press the metatarsals down towards the ground • A nerve problem near the 3rd and 4th toes • A stretched or irritated nerve in the ball of the foot (inter-digital neuroma) or behind the ankle (tarsal tunnel syndrome) can produce pain in the ball of the foot • A bunion or arthritis in the big toe can weaken the big toe and throw extra stress onto the ball of the foot.

  • Advice and Exercises for Patients with Plantar Fasciitis
    Advice and exercises for patients with plantar fasciitis This leaflet provides management advice and exercises for people diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, a condition causing pain in the heel, sole and /or arch of the foot. Structures of the foot The plantar fascia is a sheet or broad band of fibrous tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. This tissue connects the heel to the base of the toes. Under normal circumstances, the plantar fascia supports the arch of the foot and acts as a shock absorbing “bow string” within the arch of the foot. With weight bearing, the foot flattens and the plantar fascia stretches, then springing you forward ready for the next step. While walking, the stresses placed on the foot can be one and a quarter times your body weight (this increases to two and three quarter times your body weight when running). Unsurprisingly then, that heel pain is common. If tension on this “bowstring” becomes too great, irritation or inflammation can occur causing pain. What is plantar fasciitis? Plantar fasciitis is a relatively common foot problem affecting up to 10-15% of the population. It can occur at any age. It is sometimes known as “policeman’s heel”. When placed under too much stress due to abnormal loading, the plantar fascia stretches causing micro tearing and degeneration of the tissue. It can lead to pain in the heel, across the sole of the foot and sometimes into the arch area of the foot too. These micro tears repair with scar tissue, which is less flexible than the fascia and can cause the problem to persist for many months.

  • Mcl Injuries
    MCL INJURIES Definition Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) injury is an injury to the ligament on the inner part of the knee. This ligament keeps the shin bone (tibia) in place. It can be a stretch, partial tear or complete tear of the ligament. Causes The MCL is usually injured by pressure or stress on the outside part of the knee. A block to the outside part of the knee during football is a common way for this ligament to be injured. It is often injured at the same time as an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury occurs. Symptoms Symptoms of a tear in the medial collateral ligament are: Knee Swelling Locking or catching of the knee with movement Pain and tenderness along the inside of the joint The knee gives way or feels like it is going to give way when it is active or stressed in a certain way First Aid A health care provider should examine your knee. A MCL test will be done to detect looseness of the ligament. This test involves bending the knee to 25 degrees and putting pressure on the outside surface of the knee. Other tests may include: Knee joint x-rays Knee MRI Treatment Includes: Applying ice to the area Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) Raising the knee above heart level You should limit physical activity until the pain and swelling go away. The health care provider may put you on crutches and in a brace to protect the ligament. You may also be told not to put any weight on your knee when you walk.

It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Medicine in the branch of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination at any other University. ………………………… …05th………day of …June….2018…….in Park town, Johannesburg……… i Dedication This research report is dedicated to my wife, parents and siblings for all their patience and understanding. ii Presentations Podium presentation at the South Africa Orthopaedic Association 66th Annual Congress: 4 – 7 September 2017, Port Elizabeth, South Africa. iii Publications Nakale NT, Strydom A, Saragas NP, Ferrao PNF. Association Between Plantar Fasciitis and Isolated Gastrocnemius Tightness. Foot Ankle Int. 2018; 39 (3): 271– 277 iv Abstract Background: Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammatory condition affecting the plantar aponeurosis of the foot. An association between plantar fasciitis and isolated gastrocnemius tightness has been postulated in published literature; however there have been few studies to prove this relationship. The aim of this study was to determine the association between plantar fasciitis and isolated gastrocnemius tightness. Material and Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional cohort study over a three-month period comprising three groups: 45 patients with plantar fasciitis, 117 patients with foot and ankle pathology other than plantar fasciitis and 61 patients without foot and ankle pathology.
