  • The Painful Heel Comparative Study in Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Reiter's Syndrome, and Generalized Osteoarthrosis

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.

  • Frequency and Criticality of Diagnoses in Family Medicine Practices: from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS)

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.

  • Preventing Athletic Pubalgia and Chronic Groin Pain in the Soccer Player Layout 1
    ERFORMANCE P SOCCER CONDITIONING A NEWSLETTER DEDICATED TO IMPROVING SOCCER PLAYERS www.performancecondition.com/soccer Preventing Athletic Pubalgia and Chronic Groin Pain in the Soccer Player Chet North The Many Causes of Groin Pain There can be pain in the hip area because of the many different structures there. You have glands that fight off infection plus muscles and tendons located in your upper thighs under the crease of your thigh and abdomen. There is a lot going on in this area. Adding to the situation in highly competitive soccer, even the articulating surface of the hips can cause some pain. With all this it's really hard to differentiate what the pain might be. Is it an articulating surface? Tendonitis? Rupture of a muscle or tendon? Or is it a situation where a tendon separated from part of a bone? There are many causes of pain in this very mobile area. As a coach, to call it pubalgia in the training room or on the soccer field is hard to do. It might be a strain or tendonitis of an adductor, which pulls the hip in. It might be a hip flexor, which brings the hip forward. It might be a pubalgia-type injury where you have strain of the abdominal wall and structures of the lower abdominal area; however, it's hard to determine. It's vague, and that's why you want to have a doctor look at these symptoms early on. A lot of the injuries we think are just muscle strains can be much more than that.

    DEPARTMENT OF ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY SPORTS MEDICINE Marc R. Safran, MD Professor, Orthopaedic Surgery Chief, Division of Sports Medicine SPORTS HERNIA / ATHLETIC PUBALGIA / CORE MUSCLE INJURY DESCRIPTION This is an ill defined injury to the groin, involving the lower abdominal muscles and/inner thigh muscles, where they attach to the front of the pelvis. It generally is an overuse type injury, in that it does not involve a single acute episode. These muscles attach to the front of the pelvis on either side of the symphysis pubis joint. The symphysis pubis joint joins the two of the main bones of the pelvis. The symphysis pubis joint is made up of the pubic bones (portion of the pelvis), cartilage, a joint capsule and joint fluid. As there has recently been an association with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) of the hip, there is some thought that limited hip rotation seen with FAI puts excessive stress on the pubic symphysis. The motion at the pubic symphysis is limited by the bony morphology, cartilage disc and ligaments of the pubis. The lower abdominal muscles and adductor muscles of the thigh may contract to limit motion at the pubic symphysis and get overloaded, as they are not biomechanically oriented to efficiently limit that motion, and may be injured as a result. Some other doctors think that there is a posterior wall weakness, though not true hernia, that is the cause of the pain. FREQUENT SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Pain, discomfort or ache, tenderness and swelling at the front of the pelvis at the pubic symphysis. The pain may extend to the groin, inner thigh and/or lower belly Symptoms usually start slowly and insidiously following the activity, and progress to affect the whole activity, becoming constant pain.
