has been
in practice

technology changes. Innovations such as digital x-rays, EMRs and
foot scanners are replacing manual processes and making it easier
to share information,
improve efficiencies,
and thereby save time
and money. Some of
these technologies are
in their relatively early
stages but are proving

A two-probe ultrasound procedure may reduce the measurement error associated with a one-probe procedure.

George Wallace, DPM, FACFAS writes:
How many times have I heard “it’s just a foot” from general surgeons, internists, traumatologists and other specialists over the course of my career? Unfortunately, too many times to count.
