The link between increased body weight and hindfoot complaints is largely based on correlation to single foot pathology. We retrospectively reviewed 6879 patients with tibialis posterior tendonitis (TPT), plantar fasciitis (PF), or both. Among patients with either TPT or PF, 1 in 11 (9%) had both.
Chronic plantar heel pain (CPHP) is one of the most common painful and disabling foot conditions, for which various treatments have been proposed. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of local injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) compared with the conventional method of local corticosteroid
Background and objectives: Obese people have many foot-related disorders and plantar fasciitis (PF) is the most common disorder among them. However, research on the role of therapeutic exercises in PF is lacking and there is no evidence to suggest its benefits. As such, a further insight into
BACKGROUND
Plantar fasciitis is a common foot pathology that is typically treated non-operatively. However, a minority of patients fail non-operative management, develop chronic symptoms, and request a surgical option. Gastrocnemius recession has recently been shown to be effective for the treatment
Two diabetic women with pelvic malignancies developed necrotizing fasciitis within the irradiation fields. Despite aggressive surgical and medical therapy, both died when their health became too unstable for them to tolerate further surgery to resect the residual infection. We attribute their poor
OBJECTIVE
One of the most common causes of chronic heel pain is plantar fasciitis (ocalcaneal spur?). This condition most frequently occurs in patients over the age of 40. In most cases pain can be reduced or ceased by conservativ treatment, but in some patients therapy-resistant chronic pain can
Background: Necrotising fasciitis (NF) is a life-threatening bacterial infection with high mortality. This retrospective study aimed to investigate patient characteristics and potential areas for improvement in clinical management in NF
BACKGROUND
Plantar fasciitis (PF) is one of the most common causes of foot pain. Work can involve factors that may predispose to foot pain.
OBJECTIVE
To systematically review the evidence of the association between weight bearing (walking or standing) and PF among workers.
METHODS
Literature search
BACKGROUND
Necrotizing fasciitis is an aggressive infection affecting the skin and soft tissue. It has a very high acute mortality. The long-term survival and cause of death of patients who survive an index hospitalization for necrotizing fasciitis are not known.
OBJECTIVE
To define the long-term
Necrotising Fasciitis is a destructive infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Survival from the condition often necessitates patient referral for appropriate reconstructive surgery and supportive medical management. The aim of our study
Necrotizing cellulitis and fasciitis may be difficult to recognize. When skin necrosis is not obvious, the diagnosis must be suspected if there are signs of severe sepsis (accelerated heart or respiratory rates, oliguria, mental confusion.) and/or some of the following local symptoms or signs:
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare and often fatal soft-tissue infection involving the superficial fascial layers of the extremities, abdomen or perineum. Progression to septic shock can occur very rapidly with its associated high morbidity and mortality. NF is usually caused by beta haemolytic
Cervical necrotizing fasciitis is an unusual infection characterized by necrosis of the subcutaneous tissue and fascial layers. Risk factors for the development of necrotizing fasciitis include diabetes mellitus, chronic renal disease, peripheral vascular disease, malnutrition, advanced age,
The plantar fascia is a multilayered band of fibrous tissue that support and maintain the longitudinal arch of the foot. We report a 34-old obese woman with heel pain for the past 3 years. On physical examination, she presented painful plantar fascia throughout extension of the foot. In addition, a
OBJECTIVE
This article reviews the demographics, presentation, cause, clinical findings, and treatment of 12 cases of cervical necrotizing fasciitis of odontogenic origin.
METHODS
A retrospective chart review of 12 cases treated between 1987 and 1997 was done.
RESULTS
Most cases resulted from an
