Advancing the ACO model in podiatry
Podiatry Today
Paradigm shifts in a profession can be subtle, taking time to be understood and appreciated. In my observation, the podiatric profession has undergone a significant paradigm shift, of which few are aware.

Right lower extremity osteomyelitis with alcaligenes faecalis in a patient with poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Cureus
Alcaligenes faecalis (A. faecalis) is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, oxidase(+) and catalase(+), obligate aerobe commonly found in soil or water. It has also been found in human intestinal microbiota and more rarely in hospital settings and is typically associated with opportunistic infections. Although it has intrinsic resistance to many commonly used antibiotics, it is increasingly found to have developed antibiotic resistance. We present a rare case of A. faecalis osteomyelitis in a patient with a chronic diabetic foot ulcer.

The impacts of anxiety and depression on outcomes in foot and ankle surgery
Foot and Ankle International
There is a growing body of literature on the impacts of mental health disorders on musculoskeletal health. In particular, the effects of depression and anxiety are becoming better understood in relation to both musculoskeletal pain and surgical outcomes. An estimated 25% of general practice patients suffer from depression and/or anxiety, and that proportion is estimated to be over 30% for patients with musculoskeletal pain.

A complete understanding of the distal tibiofibular joint will afford the surgeon a better appreciation of how these ligaments behave in both uninjured and injured patients. This article will review the syndesmotic complex and additional options for surgical stabilization.

Midterm outcomes of endoscopic plantar fascia debridement in 125 patients: A 5 year follow-up
The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common pathologies addressed by foot and ankle surgeons. Despite advances and overall success rates for conservative therapy, many of the recalcitrant cases proceed to require surgical correction. Partial to complete release of the fascia is often performed altering foot biomechanics and severing the windlass mechanism. Endoscopic debridement of the plantar fascia allows for direct visualization and removal of the inflammatory tissue while leaving the fascia and its function intact.
