Nash, S. Al-Nammari, W.S. Khan* and I.P. Pengas University College London Institute of Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Sciences, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, London, HA7 4LP, UK Abstract: Foot and ankle pathologies cause a significant disease burden on rheumatoid patients. Forefoot pathologies causes pain, callosities and possibly ulceration, and can cause problems with footwear. Forefoot correction in rheumatoid patients has historically comprised of excision of diseased joints. While satisfaction was high with this procedure, complications, changing expectations and improvement in medical therapy have raised expectation of patients, physicians and surgeons alike. This review assesses the role of joint preserving osteotomies and arthrodesis, as well as associated complications. It also describes the role of the multidisciplinary team in the management of these patients. Keywords: Arthrodesis, forefoot, osteotomy management, rheumatoid arthritis, surgical. INTRODUCTION callosity formation and ulceration. Examination of the forefoot should focus on deformity of the first ray (hallux Foot and ankle problems become increasingly common valgus) and its ability to perform its weight-bearing in rheumatoid patients with time.

AMA Advocacy Resource Center—Physician-led health care teams Page 3 Return to table of contents Physician-led health care teams: Identifying the problem and providing a solution The problem This country faces a growing health care work force problem. The nation is experiencing shortages of both physicians and nurses. At the same time, there is increasing demand for primary care. There are solutions for addressing these work force shortages and primary care needs, including loan forgiveness programs, increasing the number of residency slots and taking steps to improve reimbursement for primary care services. While these solutions are longer term, there are also steps that can be taken in the short term. Some have argued that nurse practitioners (NPs)—one type of APRN—should be granted authority to practice independently from physicians as a means to address primary care needs. These arguments come at a time when health care delivery and payment models are heading in the opposite direction. New models of care delivery, including accountable care organizations and patient-centered medical homes, require integration and teamwork among providers to improve health care outcomes and reduce health care costs.
