15 The Foot andAnkle
heeled shoes typically alleviate symptoms, whereas barefoot walking and wearing at shoes may increase symptoms. Physical examination shows point tenderness on the plantar medial heel. Often, there is a tight Achilles tendon com­plex with limited ankle dorsiexion. Occasionally, fat pad or heel pad atrophy is present. Radiographs include a lateral X-ray which may show a plantar heel spur (Fig. 15.27). This is often associated with a exor digitorum brevis origin and can sig­nify a chronic condition. It is important to rule out a calcaneal stress fracture and tumor via X-rays and a calcaneus “squeeze test” which should not generate pain in plantar fasciitis. Treatment is almost always conservative consist­ing of rest, anti-inammatory medication, orthotic devices, and aggressive stretching. Isolated stretching of the gastrocsoleus complex and plantar fascia is important. Surgery is typi­cally reserved for chronic conditions that have lasted over 6months to a year and involves par­tial release of the plantar fascial origin in addition to tarsal tunnel decompression.

include ankle arthrodesis (fusion) or a total ankle replacement (Fig.15.28). While the main advantage with fusion is permanency, the down­side is that stress transference into adjacent joints leading to osteoarthritis can occur. Ankle replacement avoids this problem by maintaining ankle motion; however, longevity of the implant may require revision surgery over a lifetime. Recent advances in implants have resulted in custom implant printing when necessary.
Osteoarthritis
Ankle
The causes of ankle joint degeneration include primary osteoarthritis, posttraumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, osteochondritis dissecans, synovial chondromatosis, and rheumatologic conditions. By far, the most common cause of ankle arthritis is posttraumatic, unlike the hip or knee joint. Conservative management includes anti-inammatory medications, bracing, and intraarticular cortisone injections. Surgical management is dependent on the extent and location of the arthrosis. Options are split between reconstruction and salvage. For early to intermediate stage or focal involvement, options include joint debridement either arthroscopi­cally or open, low tibial osteotomy, osteochon­dral auto or allograft replacement, and distraction arthroplasty. Salvage procedures
Foot (Hindfoot, Midfoot, andForefoot)
Arthritis of the foot is very common and can affect all joints. It can be secondary to all the causes listed above for ankle arthritis. Forefoot arthritis is very common, with hallux rigidus being the most frequent subset. This is discussed in more detail in an earlier section. Isolated midfoot arthritis is the least common and is commonly attributed to posttraumatic, inam­matory, or neuropathic arthritis. Lisfranc inju­ries and midfoot fractures are common causes of posttraumatic arthritis in the midfoot. It is also worth noting that hindfoot fusion will cause transfer of stresses to the midfoot joints and cause secondary osteoarthritis. Hindfoot arthri­tis is most commonly posttraumatic but can be secondary to atfoot, cavovarus foot deformi­ties, or inammatory arthropathies. It includes degeneration of the subtalar, talonavicular, and calcaneocuboid joints.

Management begins with conservative treatment as noted above. Surgical options aim to reduce pain and include osteophyte resection in early stages and fusion as the gold standard in late stages.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease that commonly involves the foot as there are many joints lined with synovium (Fig.15.29). It affects both the synovial lining of the joint and the sur­rounding tendons. These problems are less often encountered in the present day due to advances in medical management, particularly the newer bio-
ankle fusion. The former allows for retention of ankle range of motion
logic medications. Physical examination shows an antalgic gait, generalized swelling, and decreased motion in the joints of the foot. Weight- bearing radiographs of the foot and ankle are essential for showing deformity and often show a valgus angu­lation of either the ankle or subtalar joint.
Treatment options include conservative man­agement such as patient education, activity modi­cation, intermittent steroid injections, optimizing medical management, shoe modica­tions, and the use of an ankle–foot orthosis. Surgical options include simple synovectomy, arthrodesis, and total ankle arthroplasty.

eral nail fold, often seen in the great toe (Fig. 15.30). Paronychiae are often seen in an abnormally growing nail or “in-grown toenail,” which penetrates the skin of the lateral nail fold,
Puncture Wounds
Puncture wounds in the foot can be caused by many objects including glass, nail, and plant and animal parts. Typically, the puncture occurs through the sole of the sneaker and enters the foot. Since the insole of a sneaker can be colonized with the Pseudomonas organ­ism, care should be taken to treat the patient
introducing bacteria.
A soft tissue abscess forms and a paronychia develops. Decompression of the abscess is done under local anesthesia and removing the lateral portion of the nail often allows temporary relief. With more chronic paronychial infections, more aggressive nail procedures including either par­tial or total nail ablation may be required.
with an infection from a puncture wound for this organism. Patients frequently present late with a swollen cellulitic foot. Standard radio­graphs and a bone scan can conrm the diagno­sis. When bone or joint involvement is extensive, aggressive surgical debridement is mandatory for satisfactory resolution. Appro­priate antibiotic coverage is required until the infection has resolved.
Diabetic Foot Infections
People with diabetes can develop a sensory neu­ropathy which prevents them from protective sen­sation. Because of abnormal pressures unremitting for 20min or more, ulcerations which allow bacte­rial inoculation and infection to develop may result. Typical scenarios in which this can happen is after a pedicure or from the abrasions of a poorly

tting shoe (Figs.15.31 and 15.32). With abscesses and ulcers, both acute and chronic septic arthritis and osteomyelitis are frequently the end result. Aggressive treatment of any infection in the dia­betic foot is mandatory for salvage. Medical man­agement of diabetes is crucial and the patient must be under strict diabetic control. Intravenous antibi­otics are almost always necessary in the acute sce­nario. Antibiotics are often broad spectrum due to the polymicrobial nature of these infections. It is important to distinguish between infection and Charcot arthropathy, discussed below.
Charcot Arthropathy
Charcot arthropathy, a noninfectious degrada­tion of joints, can be confused with infection or inammatory arthropathies. It was named by

Jean-Martin Charcot for joint destruction associated with tertiary syphilis, but other causes include neuropathies caused by diabetes, Charcot-Marie-tooth, alcoholic peripheral neu­ropathy, leprosy, Caisson’s disease (the bends). The pathophysiology is unclear at this time but leading theories are (1) autonomic dysregula­tion from the underlying neuropathy leading to alterations in vascularity and (2) repetitive microtrauma in an insane extremity triggering an inammatory cascade resulting in the col­lapse of the joint. There are three clinical stages classied by Eikenholz: (1) development, (2) coalescence, and (3) reconstruction and recon­stitution. Physical exam is characterized by ery­thema, edema, and elevated temperature that is resolved with elevation of the affected joint, termed “dependent rubor.” Plain radiographs demonstrate complete destruction of the joint, extreme to that of other inammatory arthropa­thies or infections. Nonoperative treatment with total contact casting is rst line treatment. Surgical therapies are utilized when nonopera­tive management has failed or is not feasible in a patient, with the goal to ofoad the affected part of the foot to prevent ulceration and allow for weight- bearing through fusions and tendon releases.

Tumors

A complete discussion of soft tissue and bone tumors is beyond the scope of this chapter; however, a few specic lesions are mentioned here.
Soft Tissue Lesions
The anterolateral ankle is the common site for the development of a ganglion cyst as well as soft tissue lipomas. These are both benign lesions and excision can be performed if symp­toms warrant. Thickening of the plantar fascia on the plantar surface of the foot can be palpated
on some patients. Sometimes these thickenings are large, rm nodules known as plantar bro­mas. They are benign and should be treated con­servatively at all costs.
Bone Tumors
Common bone tumors include enchondroma, a benign cartilage tumor that can occur in the short tubular bones such as the phalanges. The chon­dromyxoid broma (Fig. 15.33) is another benign cartilage tumor that can affect the bones of the foot. It is usually managed by curettage of the lesion. Occasionally, a bone cyst can form in the calcaneus. Pathologic fracture through this can occur and may, in fact, be the chief com­plaint at a patient’s presentation. Treatment usu­ally requires curettage and bone grafting. It is uncommon to have metastatic disease to the small bones of the foot. When seen, one should suspect the lung as the primary site of the patient’s disease.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

This disabling disorder of unknown pathophysi­ology has a variable symptom complex with many hypothesized causes and mechanisms. Renamed from the limited descriptive term reex sympathetic dystrophy, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is more common in women than men, and more common in adults than chil­dren. It can occur after a minor injury or surgery with no nerve involvement, or after a signicant injury with nerve involvement. Patients present with disproportionate extremity pain, swelling, autonomic symptoms (i.e., changes in sweating, skin discoloration), and motor symptoms (i.e., weakness). Diagnosis of any obvious, treatable causes of pain should be done prior to denitively selecting CRPS as the diagnosis. Treatment involves extensive therapy and pain relief with desensitization through medication or nerve blockade.

Summary andConclusions
Numerous conditions affect the foot and ankle, and foot pain remains a very common present­ing complaint. A knowledge of anatomy and common foot and ankle problems can provide the diagnostician adequate tools to treat patients. The last gures in this chapter provide algo­rithms that can assist in the diagnosis and treat­ment of foot and ankle pain. Figure15.34 can assist in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with foot and ankle complaints resulting from
an acute injury. Figure15.35 provides steps to evaluate and treat patients that have foot and ankle pain without a history of an acute injury but with radiographic evidence of deformity or pathology. Figure 15.36 should provide some structure to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with foot and ankle complaints without injury and no radiographic evidence of defor­mity or pathology. These are not comprehensive algorithms but should provide some guidance when encountering patients with foot and ankle complaints.
