Simultaneous Surgical Repair Of A Tibialis Anterior Tendon Rupture And Diabetic Charcot Neuroarthropathy Of The Midfoot: A Case Report, John Stapleton Feb 2015

Simultaneous Surgical Repair Of A Tibialis Anterior Tendon Rupture And Diabetic Charcot Neuroarthropathy Of The Midfoot: A Case Report, John Stapleton

John J Stapleton DPM, FACFAS

The combination of simultaneous rupture of a tibialis anterior tendon and Charcot neuroarthropathy of the midfoot in a diabetic patient is a rare and challenging condition that can lead to major complications if not addressed appropriately. This article discusses a tibialis anterior tendon rupture that may have developed before or after the incidence of the diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy midfoot deformity and raises awareness to potential spontaneous tendon ruptures that may be associated with the diabetic Charcot foot.


Concomitant Osteomyelitis And Avascular Necrosis Of The Talus Treated With Talectomy And Tibiocalcaneal Arthrodesis, John Stapleton, Thomas Zgonis Feb 2015

Concomitant Osteomyelitis And Avascular Necrosis Of The Talus Treated With Talectomy And Tibiocalcaneal Arthrodesis, John Stapleton, Thomas Zgonis

John J Stapleton DPM, FACFAS

The goal with Lisfranc fracture-dislocations is to regain joint congruity and reestablish midfoot stability to avoid debilitating posttraumatic arthrosis and chronic pain in the sensate patient. In the diabetic population, dense peripheral neuropathy and/or vascular disease are equally important and may alter the surgical approach to traumatic tarsometatarsal injuries. The initial diagnosis in the diabetic population may be delayed due to subtle radiographic findings and/or patient unawareness of trauma in the insensate foot. Failure to initiate treatment in the early stages of acute diabetic neuropathic Lisfranc injuries can predispose the patient to midfoot instability, potential ulceration, infection, and Charcot neuroarthropathy.

Fabry's Disease With Lvot Obstruction: Diagnosis And Management, Jacob Blount, James Wu, Matthew Martinez Oct 2013

Fabry's Disease With Lvot Obstruction: Diagnosis And Management, Jacob Blount, James Wu, Matthew Martinez

James K Wu MD

A 46-year-old male was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and severe left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. Genetic testing revealed that this was a "mimic of HCM" and the true diagnosis was Fabry's disease, although there were no other clinical features of Fabry's. Despite maximal medical therapy he remained symptomatic from the outflow tract gradient and required surgical myectomy for symptom relief. This case illustrates the diagnosis of an HCM mimic by genetic testing.
