IL Podiatrist Discusses High Heels and Bunions

Podiatrists such as Bela Pandit say this time of year there are plenty of younger women who have bunion pain but don't realize what's causing it. "Everybody wants to wear the high heeled boots and they start to notice it a lot more. Some people think they are growing something there but it's actually their natural bone just dislocated out of joint," said Pandit.

Dr. Bela Pandit

Bunions are aggravated but not caused by shoes. Those pointy high heels can play a role by crowding the toes making the pain more intense and the deformity worse over time. "It's never going to go away. Either you surgically fix it or you conservatively treat it," said Pandit.

LA County Society Holds Successful PPAC Fundraiser

The L. A. County Podiatric Medical Society held its second annual “One Voice” event on November 7, 2009 at Spago Restaurant in Beverly Hills. Jack Morgan, DPM, Vice President of Central East division of the society developed a concept to strengthen the economic and political power of podiatric medicine. The goal is to raise money for political action and awareness of the strength of the profession when podiatrists speak with one common voice.

DIABETES RESEACHERS IN THE NEWS

Armstrong Named "Cure Award" Winner by American Diabetes Association

David G. Armstrong, Professor of Surgery and Director of the Southern Arizona Limb Salvage Alliance at the University of Arizona College of Medicine was given the American Diabetes Association's "Cure" award at a black tie gala held this weekend for his group's work in amputation prevention. "This is a honor that I share with our SALSA team, our Department and with our University", noted Dr. Armstrong, a past board member of the American Diabetes Association. "We have found that putting people together really makes a difference. The secret sauce that makes up SALSA is teamwork." 

Tania and David Armstrong Arrive at the Awards Gala

Armstrong, a podiatrist and researcher, has produced more than 270 peer-reviewed manuscripts and helped to develop the key classifications and guidelines that serve to direct diabetic foot care around the world. His SALSA unit, co-directed by renowned vascular surgeon Dr. Joseph Mills, has served as a model for care regionally, nationally, and internationally.

SUCCESS TIPS FROM THE MASTERS

Editor's Note: PM News is proud to present excerpts from Meet the Masters.

Bret Ribotsky: What new ideas have you put into your practice in the last couple of years that have made a difference?

Dr. Allen Jacobs

Allen Jacobs: I think the biggest challenge is combining academics and practice management in the area of the diabetic foot. I think there is more to diabetes than cutting toenails, providing skin care, and selling shoes or socks and lotions to the patient.  I think our charge is to reduce the amputation rate, and if we look at everything that has been published, it says that when you add an intensive foot program to a diabetic clinic, you reduce major amputations by 70%. You do not do that by simply cutting toenails, trimming calluses, and selling shoes. You take the time to evaluate circulation. For example, I do a lot of  Doppler studies at baseline (a CPT 93922). I am not doing it to make money. I am doing it because, when I take a history and physical, I find that a lot of patients have undiagnosed or untreated peripheral arterial disease.

Meet the Masters is broadcast each Tuesday Night at 9 PM (EST). This week's theme is a practice management roundtable. You can register for this event  by clicking here

QUERIES (NON-CLINICAL)

Query: Source for Unsecured Loans

I have accumulated a lot of debt on my credit cards to keep my office open. This has stemmed from Medicare’s California carrier getting things screwed up earlier this year. I had to mortgage my home and office to stay open while Medicare got its act together. In the past, I have gone to buy/lease companies to buy equipment. I have a good credit rating. Does anyone know of companies that will loan to docs consolidation loans, unsecured?

RESPONSES / COMMENTS (CLINICAL)

RE: Painful Callus, Unresponsive to Conservative Care  (Megan Lawton, DPM)
From: Multiple Respondents

The one treatment that I have consistently had success with for over 30 years for the treatment of intractable plantar keratoses has been a product made by Bergmann Orthotic lab called the Balance Inlay. The impressions must be taken with the patient lying in the supine position, and the lesion must be marked with a special marker provided by the lab. When casting, I hold the patient's foot in neutral position, but the experts at the lab do not feel that it is always necessary to do this. I suggest you speak directly with them.  Even if the lesions do not go away entirely, they will cease to be painful. Patients who have been compliant with using the orthoses have all been happy with them. 
 
Elliot Udell, DPM, Hicksville, NY, Elliotu@aol.com

These lesions appear to be caused by a plantarflexed second metatarsal, and the big toe lesion is also probably caused by hypertrophied bone or possibly a sesamoid bone. The x-rays could be helpful for possible surgical evaluation. I noticed the second toe was not long; however, this still could be a plantarflexed second metatarsal. I would probably do a second metatarsal osteotomy or possibly a second metatarsal plantar condylectomy, if I was concerned about the relative length of the second metatarsal. The big toe lesion will probably resolve by taking out the offending bone causing the lesion. These lesions do not appear to be warts, and I doubt if excising them would be successful. I have no experience using alcohol to treat these kinds of lesions; however, I have had a high degree of success with bone surgery.

Ed Cohen, DPM , Gulfport, MS, ECohen1344@aol.com

Hallux IPJ skin lesions, like the one depicted here, generally result from supernumerary sesamoid bones within the FHB. Medial column roll off at toe-off from overpronation of the STJ in compensation for several structural pedal issues overloads the medial column of the foot. Sesamoid excision should resolve the lesion, but the pathomechanics still need to be addressed. The etiology of 2nd metatarsal IPK's is much more variable. Long and/or plantarflexed 2nd metatarsal, pre-dislocation syndrome, hallux limitus w/accompanying metatarsus primus elevatus (structural or functional), short 1st metatarsal, fully compensated forefoot varus and equinus are all in the differential diagnosis. Thorough biomechanical exam and pedal x-rays, both weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing would be helpful in corroborating the etiology.

Lastly, and most importantly from my perspective, I'd be remiss if I didn't question why the "calluses" appear to ulcerated. Was this the result of an extremely aggressive in-office skin debridement, or might a health issue exist with this 32 year old patient that affects his integument? There's no mention of the patient's medical history.

Initially, I will assume nothing was uncovered during the initial examination...but could something have been missed? I'd return to that area and start asking questions for one generally doesn't encounter skin ulceration in healthy 32 year old patients, even if significant biomechanical or structural pedal issues exist...so, I'd be suspicious and start searching for DM, or an occult collagen vascular disease to start. A full medical work-up, family history, background check. and review of systems with blood work is indicated before any additional surgery is contemplated; once that is performed, if an occult systemic process is uncovered and then effectively medically managed, then I'd proceed with additional surgery that addresses the supernumerary sesamoid and 2nd ray.

RESPONSES / COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 1

RE: Faye Frankfort and Healthcare Legislation
From: Nicholas Sol, DPM

The recent House of Representatives vote on HR 3962 was critical for DPM's. HR 3962 includes the Title XIX language defining DPM's as physicians in the Medicaid program. None of this would be possible without the legislative know-how and effective advocacy of the APMA and, especially, Ms. Faye Frankfort. There has never been a more critical time for DPM's to have a voice in Congress. We have only one seat at the "legislative table" and it's labeled APMA. Thank you, APMA. Thank you, Ms. Frankfort.

RESPONSES / COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 3

RE: Podiatrists and Flu Shots (Ray McClanahan, DPM, Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM)
From: Elliot Udell, DPM, Leonard A. Levy, DPM, MPH

Dr. McClanahan is correct. Giving a seasonal  influenza vaccination at this point in time is clearly out of scope of practice for podiatrists. By no means should it be inferred that we should undertake this unless there is a legal change in scope of practice allowing this. In the state of New York, our governor issued a directive allowing podiatrists and dentists to give H1N1 vaccinations at clinics in order to meet what is perceived as a public health emergency. In essence, he temporarily broadened our scope of practice.

The APMA is studying this issue. Since podiatrists and dentists have extensive training in giving injections, we would be as qualified or even more qualified to give an IM injection than a nurse practitioner working in a drug store, or as in some cases, grocery stores. Should the patient develop a complication from the vaccine, the patient would be sent to the hospital ER or his or her internist for follow-up care, and this would apply equally as well to the ancillary medical professionals giving these injections at drug stores and other locations. Dr. Neuhoff also makes a good point. The paperwork is extensive and there is little or no economic remuneration for administering swine flu vaccines.
 
There is an even greater issue lurking behind the scenes. The economic remuneration for giving all sorts of vaccinations is low and many primary care doctors are not ordering enough flu vaccines. This could lead to a public health problem in the future and perhaps podiatrists and dentists can be legally empowered to prevent it. 
 
Elliot Udell, DPM, Hicksville, NY, Elliotu@aol.com

Ray McClanahan, DPM, and Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM stated that influenza has no pedal manifestations, and podiatrists do not treat symptoms of influenza and should not be involved in influenza care, including the vaccination process. They also stated that if there is time to be involved in the legislative process, podiatrists would be much better off working towards podiatric goals.

Certainly, in ordinary situations, these remarks are perfectly correct.  However, in addition to being Associate Dean, I have been Director of the Center for Bioterrorism and All-Hazards Preparedness for the College of Osteopathic Medicine of Nova Southeastern University since 9/11 which includes prevention and response in a pandemic, so I fully understand the concern of these podiatric physicians. However, when demand greatly stresses the emergency response system, as in the instance of Katrina and in the devastating 1918 Spanish flu pandemic that killed about 50 million people world-wide, the situation is quite different. 

There is a history where the governor of a state or the federal government granted certain people permission to engage in care that they are not ordinarily permitted to do.  For example, in 1918 medical and dental students were declared to be physicians by the federal government. After Katrina, physicians not licensed in Louisiana were granted by the Governor the right to provide care to hurricane victims. Such situations do not change one’s license but provide temporary resources for an emergency response required under very unusual situations.
