It is easier to win privileging battles with hospitals when you have a group like the ACPM behind you. The relationship with ABPM has been a wonderful thing for ACPM, as this strengthens the College and helps to gain surgical and hospital privileging. I also have access to many CME and educational opportunities by being a member of ACPM. I recommend any podiatrist becoming a member of ACPM in order to help strengthen the profession, but also strengthening their individual background. Being a member of ACPM will grant you new opportunities, whether this be networking or educational. You also will have a much easier time getting granted hospital and surgical privileging by being a part of ACPM, as well as having the opportunity to become board certified through the ABPM. All in all, strength is in numbers, and the more podiatrists that band together, the stronger the profession becomes." — Dr. Bryce Paschold Dr. Paschold is a 2014 Diplomate of ABPM and is board qualified by ABFAS since 2015. He is currently in private practice within an orthopedic group of physicians in Bloomington, Illinois, and serves as the team podiatrist for Illinois State University and Illinois Wesleyan University athletics. Dr. Paschold lectures locally and has volunteered his services to the local health care clinic since 2015. Dr. Paschold graduated from the Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in 2011 and completed a 3-year foot and reconstructive rearfoot and ankle surgical residency at Loyola University Medical Center/Hines VA in Maywood, Illinois, where he served as chief resident in 2014.

The manuscript proposes a Pandemic Diabetic Foot Triage System to guide providers in this pursuit, including the utilization of in-home visits, telemedicine, remote monitoring and higher acuity office encounters.  READ MORE Immediate effects of self-thai foot massage on skin blood flow, skin temperature, and range of motion of the foot and ankle in type 2 diabetic patients The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of self-Thai foot massages on the foot skin blood flow, the foot skin temperature, and range of motion of the foot and ankle in type 2 diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy.  READ MORE New study looks at updated mortality rates and costs of diabetic foot complications in comparison to cancer Podiatry Today David G. Armstrong DPM M.D. Ph.D. writes: In 2007, I was a co-author of a summary of data comparing diabetic foot complications to cancer. Since then, we know more about mortality and costs of care associated with these complications. Accordingly, my team and I set out to update the 2007 information with all new data in a recently published study.  READ MORE Diagnosis of avulsion fractures of the distal fibula after lateral ankle sprain in children: A diagnostic accuracy study comparing ultrasonography with radiography BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography for the diagnosis of avulsion fractures of the distal fibula for lateral ankle sprain in children and compare it to that of radiography. Children who sustained lateral ankle sprain were prospectively surveyed. They underwent both ultrasonography and radiography at the first clinic visit to diagnose any concomitant avulsion fractures of the distal fibula. The patients underwent follow-up radiography 4 weeks later to obtain the reference standard diagnosis.  READ MORE Use of malleoli as an indicator for flatfoot in patients with Down syndrome: Development of a simple and non-invasive evaluation method through medial longitudinal arch Journal of Physical Therapy Science Flatfoot often presents in patients with Down syndrome, and it can be diagnosed using a simple radiograph. Consequently, due to radiograph limitations, alternative non-invasive testing must be determined. Conventionally, arch height ratio can be used for evaluation of the medial longitudinal arch, where the foot is evaluated by detecting the navicular bone on the foot surface.  READ MORE     CURRENT RESEARCH ARTICLE OF INTEREST Incidence of venous thromboembolism after Achilles tendon surgery in patients receiving thromboprophlaxis Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association Surgical or nonsurgical treatment of an Achilles tendon rupture includes a period of immobilization that is a well-documented risk factor for deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The DVT is a source of morbidity in orthopedic surgery because it can progress to pulmonary embolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of DVT and pulmonary embolism after surgical treatment of an Achilles tendon rupture.  READ MORE Identifying and monitoring deficiencies in physical examination of the foot and ankle with diagnostic ultrasound: Experience from a physical medicine and rehabilitation residency training program American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Despite the high incidence of foot and ankle injuries and their biomechanical importance to more proximal joints, the foot and ankle are some of the most daunting and underemphasized musculoskeletal structures in medical training. This study used musculoskeletal ultrasound to identify a knowledge gap in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation residents in foot and ankle surface anatomy palpation and to determine if senior residents had higher examination performance compared to more junior residents.  READ MORE Spontaneous rupture of multiple tendons in the lower extremity following the diagnosis of Lyme disease Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association Over a time frame of less than 1 year, a 23-year-old competitive horseback rider experienced a midsubstance tear of both the tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus tendons without inciting injury. It was after the second spontaneous tear that the patient's recent diagnosis of Lyme disease became the likely culprit.  READ MORE    MISSED AN ISSUE OF FOOT & ANKLE WEEKLY?
