Abstract:
Foot deformities are found in several neurologic conditions, most typically, but not exclusively, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Posttraumatic deformities and undercorrection or overcorrection of congenital talipes equinovarus are also encountered. A severely deformed foot that cannot fit into normal shoes presents a significant day-to-day challenge to the young and active patient. This article presents some basic principles for evaluating the deformity and a toolkit of procedures to deal with these complex cases.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
