CA Podiatrist Discusses Bunions
“Do you have a bony bump on your big toe? If so, it just might be a bunion!” said California Podiatric Medical Association Director Rebecca Moellmer, DPM. Dr. Moellmer is a podiatric physician and surgeon on faculty with the College of Podiatric Medicine at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California.

Dr. Rebecca Moellmer |
“Many people with bunions suffer from discomfort and pain as a result of the constant irritation caused by the friction and rubbing of the enlargement against footwear,” said Dr. Moellmer. Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the bunion and the amount of pain it causes.

South African Podiatrist Not Gaga About Lady Gaga's Shoes
Lady Gaga’s “little monster” fans are not the only ones going gaga over the eccentric singer. Shoe addicts have also taken a liking to Gaga’s latest-over-the-top-fashion-choice, the heel-less shoes. Janine Smith, a Hillcrest-based podiatrist, said the extra pressure on the ball of the foot could cause unbearable pain, bunions, or a broken ankle. “Because there is no even distribution of pressure, the muscles and points have to work extra hard to balance your body,” she said.

This “unnatural” way of wearing the shoe could cause shortening of the Achilles tendon, said Smith. “People who wear such shoes might, in the long run, find it difficult to wear a flat shoe and might even injury themselves while wearing it,” she said.

Podiatrists Rank 23rd Best Career in New Survey
It's official, podiatry is the 23rd best job in the world. That's according to a new survey by the website CareerCast.com, who have analyzed and ranked 200 careers. The jobs were ordered according to five criteria: physical demands, income, stress, work environment. and hiring outlook.
Actuaries came in first, followed by biomedical and software engineers. Although podiatrists came behind optometrists (8) and chiropractors (11), they beat out dentists (42) and surgeons (51) on the list.

QUERIES (MEDICAL-LEGAL) |
Query: ADA and Obesity
I had a new patient today who is 450 lbs and wheelchair-bound. Even though my office is ADA-accessible, her wheelchair (extra wide) was just barely able to be pushed through the doorways. Beyond this, it hung up on the threshold between the reception room and the hallway and one of my assistants has pulled a muscle trying to get her over the threshold.
Obesity is not covered under the ADA to my knowledge, but she is disabled (osteo-arthritis of the knees). Do I have any valid options to send this patient elsewhere? I can only make so many accommodations for disabilities without tearing our walls and doorways. Suggestions?

CODINGLINE CORNER |
Query: Documenting Use of Scribe
We have started using scribes in our office to document our patient encounters. I recently was instructed that we need to document the name of the scribe on the medical record. Is this correct?
Daniel Albertson, APRN, Office of Paul Krestik, DPM, London, KY
Response: The scribe should be the person logged into the EHR. When completed, the note should reflect that the doctor used a scribe to input the information into the medical record. The note should be reviewed and signed by the doctor. Both the doctor's and the scribe's name will show at the conclusion of the note.

RE: ToeMobile Great Toe System (Gordon Phillips, DPM)
From: Charles Morelli, DPM
As to a patient who takes immunosuppressants for a kidney transplant, the answer to your question as to how to handle them is to speak with the doctor who prescribed them, and let him/her tell you how to handle them. That being said, there is "usually" nothing you need to do. If the patient sustains a post-operative infection, then the meds may be adjusted to compensate for any oral or IV antibiotics that may be needed.

RE: Non-Specific Bone Marrow Edema Syndrome
From: Pat Caputo, DPM
The radiologist might be spot on. "Non-specific bone marrow edema" is also called transient or migratory regional osteoporosis. Certainly, her age group is not discussed in the literature, so a pediatric rheumatology or better yet endocrine consult is very highly suggested, especially in the absence of trauma. In the meantime, I would treat it like a Sudeck's atrophy or early AVN; and tell her it may take months, which is why the radiologist said to follow up with an MRI in 3 months. When the patchy MR presentation resolves, so do the symptoms. She is at risk for fracture in the short term, in addition to pain.
I had "bone marrow edema" in my early 40s in one hip and then the other, and 10 years later in one shoulder and then the other. I did a fair amount of research which included anecdotal discussions with some prominent endocrinologists from Johns Hopkins and UPENN as well as a prominent musculo-skeletal radiologist from Jefferson Med in Philadelphia. I was treated in the shoulders with IV Aredia. I'm not sure if it helped, as it still took months to run its course. It is more common in middle age men and pregnant women, so again I would definitely do a diagnostic work-up on the teenage girl.

RE: Non-Specific Bone Marrow Edema Syndrome
From: Patrick J. Nunan, DPM, Michael M. Rosenblatt, DPM
I had a similar case in a 15 year old softball player. The MRI was read initially by radiologist at a children's hospital and then again by an independent MRI radiologist, both who called it multiple stress fractures. She was initially seen by a Med/Peds specialist who ruled out most metabolic diseases. Her Vitamin D levels were extremely low, especially for her age. She was placed on a Vitamin D regimen by her PCP. Orthotics were made to reduce biomechanical stresses. She was immobilized in a CAM walker as well. Follow-up MRI showed improvement. She was able to return to normal activities without pain, but did not return to competitive softball.
Patrick J. Nunan, DPM, Huntington, WV, pjndpmrun@aol.com
In any young person who has bone marrow changes, it is important to consider Gaucher's disease, which occurs often in Ashkenazy Jews, but can also occur in other populations. You might more likely see avascular necrosis of the femoral heads as well as hepatospenomegaly. A low platelet count would also be expected.
A hematologist would do a bone marrow biopsy to look for Gaucher's cells. This is not a typical presentation of the disease, but a bone marrow biopsy is the next step.

RE: Post-Op Hallux Varus (Kel Sherkin, DPM)
From: Don Peacock, DPM
This case is a perfect example of when minimally invasive procedures can be implemented with very little risk to the patient, and at the same time, achieve superb results. It would not make sense to fuse her first metatarsal phalangeal joint if it is non-painful. Fusion of the first metatarsal phalangeal joint should only be considered in long-standing varus deformity with associated structural changes in the first metatarsal phalangeal joint, and only in cases where correction is not achievable in any other way.
Her condition could easily be corrected both cosmetically and functionally by performing a minimally invasive reverse Akin osteotomy. This procedure can be performed in the office under local anesthetic. The procedure would not require fixation. Another advantage you would have performing minimally invasive correction would be that the soft tissue structures would realign themselves in response to the wedge osteotomy that you created, and the flexor tendons will pull in more normal position. This could all be achieved without going back into the joint and causing further scarring. Also, you can take advantage of the concept of bone plasticity which would give you three weeks to splint the toe in the desired position.

RE: Billing for Missed Appointments (Olga Luepschen, DPM)
From: Bill Deutsch, DPM
Dr. Luepschen wants to know if she can bill for missed appointments. My suggestion is not to embark on this course. I don't know if it's legal or not, but I think it's not the way to go. My suggestion is to have staff call patients a day or two before the appointment to reconfirm. If you have patients who make a habit of not showing up, I suggest calling that day to reconfirm. There are all sorts of reasons a patient may not show: inclement weather, feeling ill, work demands, family problems, being given a follow-up appointment when the patient may feel no need for one, etc. It's part of having a controlled practice and establishing a rapport with patients. And then, of course, there are some patients you could easily do without.

RE: Purchasing a Digital X-Ray System (Laura R Lefkowitz, DPM)
From: Michael L. Brody, DPM
Your X-Cel x-ray machine is the source of the x-rays. When you take an x-ray of a patient, the rays go from the X-Cel to a "plate". When discussing digital x-rays, it is the plate and the method of developing the plate that is digital. You can use your existing X-Cel with any digital x-ray system. You will be replacing the plates, films, and processor with a digital system.
There are two types of systems available: CR and DR. Each system will claim it is better than...

RE: Podiatry's Secret Problem (Michael J. Schneider, DPM)
From: Robert Kornfeld, DPM
Dr. Schneider's assessment of inappropriate billing may be correct in his experience; however, here in NY, when I was in the Medicare program, I had very few non-covered routine care patients simply because it was too easy for them to find podiatrists who billed for a covered service instead. I have had some of my "snow bird" patients come back from Fla. to show me EOBs from DPMs who assured them that Medicare pays and collected (not billed) hundreds of dollars for a visit in which nail and callus debridement was performed. I believe this is a pervasive problem and is going on in more offices than we would like to admit.

RE: 104 Applicants Not Matched for Residency Positions
From: Andrew Cassidy DPM, MS
Once again, the leaders of our schools and the CPME have missed the boat. I was one of those unmatched residents 13 years ago. I ended up with an unmatched residency that was new and not up-to-par compared to other residencies. I ended up opting out of that residency's second year and then had to try the match system the next year.
As a person going through the match a second time, I can tell you that there is a stigma attached to it, whether they deserve...
