1Sdasda ii Dear Reader, Since the genesis of Extremitas Journal of Lower Limb Medicine, it has been the mission of Western University and WesternU’s College of Podiatric Medicine to promote student research and propel conversations to ultimately provide enhanced, evidenced-based care we will give to others. As the years have gone by, it is my belief that this mission has not only been reached, but every year, the expectations have spanned further, pushing the boundaries of what our future health care providers are capable of. In your hands, you hold the exceptional efforts of over fifty of WesternU’s student body to research, craft, and revise a series of journal articles for the sole purpose of sharing knowledge. The discipline, compassion, and time commitment it takes to publish is no easy feat. This issue is a testament to the very fabric of what grit and multidisciplinary team work can produce. It has been a humbling experience to witness the talent that walks on our campus grounds, and to have the privilege to work in unison with students across the different colleges WesternU offers. As a student run journal, the costs for printing and distribution are 100% dependent on the generosity of our sponsors who also echo the importance of student research and evidenced-based medicine. To that degree, I’d like to extend my deepest gratitude to our sponsors as well as the mentors, faculty, and administration that have supported this publication. Special mentions are due to WesternU’s current president, Dr. Daniel R. Wilson, recently retired interim Dean of WesternU’s College of Podiatric Medicine, Dr. Lester Jones, current Dean of WesternU’s College of Podiatric Medicine, Dr. Katherine Satterfield, and amazing faculty advisor for all editions of Extremitas Journal of Lower Limb Medicine, Dr. Jarrod Shapiro - Thank you all for the guidance, support, and encouragement throughout the journey of creating Extremitas Journal of Lower Limb Medicine. The memories, experience, and lessons have been priceless, and something I will carry with me always. Last, but certainly not least, thank you Reader for supporting our journal through your viewership. Thank you for taking the time to digest our articles regarding current literature and pathologies of the lower limb. Furthermore, thank you for going beyond the doors of the lecture halls to understand and learn. As Brian Herbert perfectly said, “The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice.” It is my distinct honor and pleasure to present to you the 6th annual edition of Extremitas Journal of Lower Limb Medicine. I hope you enjoy!

Throughout the past six years, Extremitas has grown tremendously with the help of our student authors, faculty advisor, and sponsors. Extremitas represents the hard work and dedication of Western University students as we present the latest research in the field of lower limb medicine. This issue of Extremitas delves into a variety of topics such as biomechanics of the lower limb, diabetic complications, pain management, as well as recent advancements in surgical and conservative treatment. Extremitas would not be possible without the continued support of Western University of Health Sciences and the College of Podiatric Medicine. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our sponsors: Western University’s College of Podiatric Medicine, California’s Podiatric Medical Association, PICA insurance Group, American Board of Podiatric Medicine, and Bako Diagnostic. We would also like to thank our cover designer, Kira Cramer, and all of our authors, who decided to use our journal as a platform to share their talents and passion for lower limb medicine. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to continuing the tradition of student research and excellence set forth by WesternU and Extremitas.
