RE: Outrageous Foot Injury of the Day

Burn from wearing heated insoles. |
In a Facebook post, she shared photos of her husband Tyler's charred foot and melted-off skin after his rechargeable insoles, which were not turned on at the time, exploded inside his boots.

RE: Outrageous Post-op Boot of the Day
This patient is 8 days post-op right foot bunionectomy with 1st metatarsal osteotomy with internal screw fixation. Here is what she said to me Friday, on her first post-op visit: "All I want for Christmas is this boot off."

The lights blink and are battery operated. She said she got lots of thumbs up for the holiday-decorated boot.

"We focused on consumerism and waste as its bi-product, and began trawling the UK shorelines (including the tidal Thames) to find plastic rubbish.
 |
These shoes are real garbage! |
We then reconstituted the rubbish to manufacture a consumer product from the product of our consumption."

"Slip-ons"? |

This design consists of a single piece that wraps around the wearer’s foot, forming support for the heel and ball. The foot naturally forms a bridge between the two.

It’s a typical afternoon in a rural African village: mosquitoes hum around the water as women pump it into plastic containers, children trailing behind them. What sets this scene apart is what the men have on their feet. At first glance, their footwear is nothing of note – simple leather sandals with a woven strap attached to the top.

Anti-malaria sandals |
But this strap is something special – a product of the Ifakara Health Institute. It’s made of locally produced hessian and has been treated with transfluthrin, a low-cost insecticide highly effective at repelling mosquitoes.
