FALLET From the Department of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland SUMMARY This study presents the frequency of severe and mild talalgias in unselected, consecutive patients with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter's syndrome, and generalized osteoarthosis. 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.

  • Endoscopic Hamstring Repair
    Lorem Ipsum Endoscopic Hamstring Repair Carlos A. Guanche, MD Southern California Orthopedic Institute 12 Lorem Ipsum 2 Endoscopic Hamstring Repair With the expansion of knowledge regarding hip pathologies as a result of the increased treatment of hip problems arthroscopically has come an expanded treatment of many injuries that were previously treated through open methods. The treatment of symptomatic ischial bursitis and hamstring injuries is one such area. In this paper, the author describes the surgical procedure and discusses the findings and preliminary outcomes in a group of the first 15 patients undergoing the procedure. The clinical rationale associated with the treatment algorithm is also discussed. Hamstring injuries have been effectively addressed in the past with a variety of open methods.(1,2) However, the endoscopic management of much pathology previously treated with more invasive, open approaches has evolved. The technique described in this chapter is another such evolution. Hamstring injuries are common and can affect all levels of The hamstrings originate from the ischial tuberosity and athletes.

  • Frequency and Criticality of Diagnoses in Family Medicine Practices: from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS)
    J Am Board Fam Med: first published as 10.3122/jabfm.2018.01.170209 on 12 January 2018. Downloaded from ORIGINAL RESEARCH Frequency and Criticality of Diagnoses in Family Medicine Practices: From the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) Michael R. Peabody, PhD, Thomas R. O’Neill, PhD, Keith L. Stelter, MD, MMM, and James C. Puffer, MD Background: Family medicine is a specialty of breadth, providing comprehensive health care for the individual and the family that integrates the broad scope of clinical, social, and behavioral sciences. As such, the scope of practice (SOP) for family medicine is extensive; however, over time many family phy- sicians narrow their SOP. We sought to provide a nationally representative description of the most com- mon and the most critical diagnoses that family physicians see in their practice. Methods: Data were extracted from the 2012 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) to select all ICD-9 codes reported by family physicians. A panel of family physicians then reviewed 1893 ICD-9 codes to place each code into an American Board of Family Medicine Family Medicine Certifica- tion Examination test plan specifications (TPS) category and provide a rating for an Index of Harm (IoH). Results: An analysis of all 1893 ICD-9 codes seen by family physicians in the 2012 NAMCS found that 198 ICD-9 codes could not be assigned a TPS category, leaving 1695 ICD-9 codes in the dataset. Top 10 lists of ICD-9 codes by TPS category were created for both frequency and IoH. Conclusions: This study provides a nationally representative description of the most common diag- copyright.

  • Haglund's Syndrome, Retrocalaneal Exostosis
    Open Access Review Article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.820 Haglund’s Syndrome: A Commonly Seen Mysterious Condition Raju Vaishya 1 , Amit Kumar Agarwal 1 , Ahmad Tariq Azizi 2 , Vipul Vijay 1 1. Orthopaedics, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals 2. Orthopaedics, Herat Regional Hospital, Herat, Afghanistan Corresponding author: Amit Kumar Agarwal, [email protected] Abstract Haglund’s deformity was first described by Patrick Haglund in 1927. It is also known as retrocalcaneal exostosis, Mulholland deformity, and ‘pump bump.' It is a very common clinical condition, but still poorly understood. Haglund’s deformity is an abnormality of the bone and soft tissues in the foot. An enlargement of the bony section of the heel (where the Achilles tendon is inserted) triggers this condition. The soft tissue near the back of the heel can become irritated when the large, bony lump rubs against rigid shoes. The aetiology is not well known, but some probable causes like a tight Achilles tendon, a high arch of the foot, and heredity have been suggested as causes. Middle age is the most common age of affection, females are more affected than males, and the occurence is often bilateral. A clinical feature of this condition is pain in the back of the heel, which is more after rest. Clinical evaluation and lateral radiographs of the ankle are mostly enough to make a diagnosis of Haglund’s syndrome. Haglund’s syndrome is often treated conservatively by altering the heel height in shoe wear, orthosis, physiotherapy, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Surgical excision of the bony exostoses of the calcaneum is only required in resistant cases.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Bursitis is a relatively common occurrence that may be caused by traumatic, inflammatory, or infectious processes. Septic bursitis most commonly affects the olecranon and prepatellar bursae. Staphylococcus aureus accounts for 80% of all septic bursitis, and most cases affect men and are associated with preceding trauma. We present a case of an 86-year-old female with an atypical septic bursitis involving the infrapatellar bursa. Not only are there very few reported cases of septic infrapatellar bursitis, but also this patient’s case is particularly unusual in that she is a female with no preceding trauma who had Pseudomonas aeruginosa on aspirate. The case also highlights the diagnostic workup of septic bursitis through imaging modalities and aspiration. This patient had full resolution of her septic bursitis with appropriate IV antibiotics. 1. Introduction and relative superficial location, the olecranon and prepa- tellar bursae are the most common sites of septic bursitis The human body contains upwards of 150 bursae, many [3, 4].
