The following is a case report detailing what appears to be a previously unreported and unclassified osteochondral fracture of the posterior talar facet. This case report will detail the diagnosis and treatment of the fracture, as well as provide a brief history of previously reported osteochondral lesions involving the talus. The authors suggest a new classification method for these types of fractures.
A practical, noninvasive method of determining the actual physiological state of tissue being examined is presented. The measuring of actual oxygen tension in the skin capillary bed enables the podiatric physician to assess peripheral vascular status. Healing predictability to a tissue area may also be evaluated.
A case of preaxial polydactyly and its surgical correction has been presented. The surgical management and postoperative complications were reviewed from the literature. The genetic basis for this type of polydactyly and its rate of occurrence were discussed. This patient's family exhibited an autosomal dominant gene with incomplete penetrance carried by the female members. The patient's family should be consulted regarding the possible genetic continuation of these anomalies in the female members of the family. The patient has had an unremarkable postoperative course with no reported adverse sequelae. The patient and surgeons were very satisfied with the final result. Figure 8 illustrates the surgical results 1 year postoperatively.
