AOSSM/AAOS Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Review Course-Foot

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video provides an overview of various foot-related topics, including the gait cycle, foot mechanics, and common foot conditions. It explores the impact of foot position during different phases of the gait cycle on foot pathology and symptomatic problems. The importance of understanding foot mechanics in treating conditions like stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, and posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is emphasized.<br /><br />The video also discusses the syndesmosis joint, subtalar joint, and transverse tarsal joints, explaining their functions in biomechanics. It highlights the role of different muscles during gait and their contribution to foot problems.<br /><br />Several specific foot conditions are covered, including hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, turf toe, hammer toe, and metatarsalgia. Both non-operative and surgical treatment options for these conditions are discussed.<br /><br />Nerve disorders such as Morton's neuroma and tarsal tunnel syndrome are addressed, with information provided on non-operative interventions and surgical treatment options, such as tarsal tunnel release.<br /><br />The video also touches on diabetic foot complications, recommending nutritional optimization before surgery for neuropathic ulcers. It emphasizes fusion as the recommended treatment for Lisfranc injuries and outlines appropriate treatment options for fifth metatarsal fractures based on their zones.<br /><br />Stress fractures and the significance of weight-bearing x-rays are mentioned, with non-operative treatment being the first choice for navicular stress fractures. Lateral process fractures of the talus are also discussed, suggesting that small pieces can be left alone while larger pieces require fixation with screws.<br /><br />Overall, the video provides a comprehensive summary of various foot and ankle conditions, their treatment options, and the importance of understanding foot mechanics in managing these conditions.
