A.C.F.S. Neoplasm survey of the foot--1975: A continuing study.

This continuing investigation, now in its third year, is being conducted to record statistics on tumors that affect the foot. The study was undertaken to increase the diagnostic information on the various types of tumors in order to assist the pediatric surgeon in the differential diagnosis and surgical management of tumors of the foot. The study is very important to the profession, and it is important for all foot surgeons to participate.

Modified Austin bunionectomy with single screw fixation: a comparison study.

The authors present a new modification of the Austin bunionectomy with single 2.7-mm. cortical screw fixation, and a comparison study with the standard osteotomy fixation using a single Kirschner wire. The results include subjective postoperative evaluation as well as objective radiographic analysis. Suggestions are made that this type of procedure is indeed a viable alternative in a large patient population suffering from hallux abducto valgus deformities.

Silicone elastomer microshards in fluid from a painful metatarsophalangeal implant site. A case report.

Histopathologic studies have demonstrated microshards from silicone elastomer metatarsophalangeal joint implants in adjacent tissues in a setting of chronic inflammation and in inguinal lymph nodes. Cytologic smears of synovial fluid from symptomatic implanted joints should show these refractile, nonpolarizing microshards in the reactive inflammatory context. Nonspecific enzymatic inflammatory activity contributes to further destabilization of the implants, eventuating in symptoms and signs requiring prosthesis removal. Cytopathologic examination of aspirated fluid from the vicinity of a symptomatic implanted joint demonstrates foreign body reaction to silicone elastomer, predicting a need for intervention before the local damage is severe and disabling.

Malignant eccrine neoplasms of the foot.

Eccrine cancers are uncommon, but potentially recurrent, metastatic and fatal. Rarely, they are primary foot lesions. The literature records 46 foot cases, with age and sex given for 41. Various eccrine cancer types (most on the sole), affected all races, males predominating. Average age at diagnosis was approximately 55. A podiatric facility recorded eight cases among approximately 30,000 skin biopsies, during 15 years. Seven arose in women. Five arose in the great toe area. Three are porocarcinomas. Five are "adenocarcinomas" varying in degree of differentiation. None of the eight patients presented recurrence or metastasis during follow-up 0.5-13.4 years. Of the combined 49 literature and podiatric cases, 28 (57.1%) arose in men, mostly between ages 41 and 70. Most were slow growing, long standing, and mildly symptomatic. No clinical features distinguished eccrine cancers from other pedal tumors.
