In our experience, pursuing a fellowship specializing in orthoplastic techniques and peripheral nerve surgery is a privilege. Reading current literature is imperative to understand and stay updated on the most recent evidence-based treatments. The peripheral nerve surgeon should have a high suspicion for a nerve injury if the patient presents with a history of trauma, sprain, fall, fracture, or prior surgery. It is important to note, patients may present with orthopedic and neurologic symptoms related to the etiology of their pain.

Having been a professional bike fitter for the past 12 years, I have seen and fit cyclists of every size and shape. As a result, I can assure you that every cyclist needs a custom bike fit because no 2 cyclists are the same. Even at the same overall height, each cyclist will have a slightly different torso-to-leg length ratio and maybe even a slightly different femur-to-tibia length ratio, so  it is absolutely necessary that each cyclist undergo a fit that starts with evaluating their leg length.

Previous research shows kinematic and kinetic coupling between the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) and midtarsal joints during gait. Studying the effects of MTP position as well as foot structure on this coupling may help determine to what extent foot coupling during dynamic and active movement is due to the windlass mechanism. This study’s purpose was to investigate the kinematic and kinetic foot coupling during controlled passive, active, and dynamic movements.

A novel technique that transplants a patient's own fat into the sole of their foot could offer relief to those suffering from a common and painful condition called plantar fasciitis, according to University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers. In a pilot study, published today in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and led by a wife-and-husband team, the fat injection procedure improved symptoms of plantar fasciitis in patients, laying the groundwork for a larger clinical trial.

EVENT DETAILS: 

In 2002, Competitive Edge partnered with the Canadian Federation of Podiatric Medicine to create office management software that meets the daily needs of a podiatry clinic. This application is powerful, yet simple to learn and use. The ability to manage patients, their appointments/invoices, control inventory and do electronic charting is all handled by using this software. This affordable solution has been continuously evolving based on customer feedback and suggestions.

Corey from Competitive Edge will be joining us for this webinar to do a quick demonstration of the software and will be sharing tips & tricks to ensure that existing customers are using the software to their advantage. New customers are also encouraged to attend to see how their current platform compares to the software program the CFPM offers.

We encourage you to submit your questions and comments in advance of the webinar. They can be emailed to jennifer@cfpmcanada.ca by March 18, 2022.
