Entire Body System
- Pain
Knee pain intensity was measured with a visual analog scale. RESULTS: Fifty-nine patients had bilateral pes planus, hallux valgus, or both. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Physical Therapy: Stretching exercises of the heel can provide pain relief. Medications: Pain relieving medications such as NSAID’s can help to reduce pain and inflammation. [aaronobrienmd.com]
Redness, skin irritation over bunion from rubbing Pain with shoe wear Less painful when barefoot or with comfortable shoes Severe bunions may result in secondary pain and calluses under the ball of the foot Hammertoes Numbness Cosmetic deformity Limited [mdmercy.com]
Surgery is an option to remove the bony prominence if conservative care does not help alleviate the pain. [podiatrycarespecialists.com]
- Swelling
Apply ice bags over a towel to the affected area for about 15-20 minutes to reduce post-operative pain and swelling. Compression dressings (bandage) are used to support the foot to reduce swelling. [northlondonfootclinic.co.uk]
Post-surgical rehabilitation at Advantage Physiotherapy will initially focus on minimizing the pain and swelling from the surgery. [advantagephysiotherapy.com]
The cast will usually be changed every week or two to make sure that it continues to "fit" the leg as the swelling goes down. Custom shoes. [orthoinfo.aaos.org]
The symptoms may include: a bony bump on the back of your heel severe pain in the area where your Achilles tendon attaches to your heel swelling in the bursa, which is the fluid-filled sac at the back of your heel redness near the inflamed tissue Haglund [healthline.com]
- Fatigue
Over time, this can result in pain, weakness and fatigue in the feet. High arches also shorten the feet, potentially making it difficult for a person to find shoes that fit. [feetmd.com]
History and Physical Riboflavin deficiency can cause fatigue, swollen throat, blurred vision, and depression. It can affect the skin by causing skin crack, itching, and dermatitis around the mouth. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Difficulty Walking
Such conditions can cause pain, difficulty walking, limited range of motion as well as embarrassment about the appearance of the foot. [baptisthealth.net]
- Wound Infection
There were 2 superficial wound infections that were successfully treated with oral antibiotics, there were no cases of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, and all patients came out of cast at 6 weeks into a fixed angle boot to commence weight [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal
- Fracture
When stress fracture of the fifth metatarsal is caused by a secondary foot deformity, treating the deformity can lead to healing the fracture efficiently and should be considered prior to indicating surgical stabilization of the fracture itself. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Often times it can lead to other issues such as tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, ankle impingements, and fractures. [ronaldbelczykdpm.com]
When a diabetic fractures a bone in the foot, he or she may not realize it because of nerve damage. Continuing to walk on the injured foot results in more severe fractures and joint dislocations. [orthoinfo.aaos.org]
- Foot Pain
Foot Pain Foot pain can sometimes be a sign of an underlying condition that requires medical attention. Find out when to see your doctor, and much more. Orthotics Many people use orthotics to improve the function and stability of their feet. [footvitals.com]
Equinus deformity is a common problem and you should be evaluated for this condition by your Podiatrist when seeking the cause of your foot pain! [dominickgaribaldidpm.com]
The physician will also look for other areas of pain or deformity in the foot associated with the bunion. [mdmercy.com]

- Joint Deformity
Common Joint Deformities in RA Boutonniere deformity: The middle finger joint bends toward the palm while the outer finger joint may bend opposite the palm. [arthritis.org]
In regard to joint deformities caused by contracture of muscles and capsule, one can achieve correction via methods including: repeated gentle manipulation stretching of the tight structures; cast immobilization of the joints in the position of correction [podiatrytoday.com]
Stage IV : Is characterized by deformity in the foot and the ankle. The deformity may be flexible or fixed. The joints often show signs of degenerative joint disease (arthritis). [advantagephysiotherapy.com]
[…] contractures, which initially are dynamic but, if left untreated, can become fixed joint deformities. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
- Flexion Contracture
The first three metacarpophalangeal joints had flexion contractures and the thumbs showed contractures in extension at the interphalangeal joints. All the toes were clawed. ▼ REFERENCES Emery, A. E. H., Nelson, M. M. [omim.org]
Hammertoe – A hammertoe is a deformity or flexion contracture of the toes, mostly the lesser toes. Complications such as corns, calluses, or ulcerations can arise when the joints become stiff and rub against the shoes. [ronaldbelczykdpm.com]
Silfverskjöld test Method Evaluate active and passive dorsiflexion in the upper ankle joint, while the knee is fully extended Repeat evaluation while the knee is in 90° flexion position Findings/interpretation No improvement of dorsiflexion → contracture [amboss.com]

Treatment
BACKGROUND: The treatment of Charcot foot arthropathy has traditionally involved immobilization during the acute phase followed by longitudinal management with accommodative bracing. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
treatment Radiotherapy : a standardized treatment scheme does not exist. [amboss.com]
Prognosis
It is distinguished from Friedreich's ataxia (FA) mainly by the preservation of tendon reflexes, a better prognosis, and the absence of GAA expansion in the frataxin gene. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis of Metatarsus Adductus The natural history of MTA is controversial, and treatment methods lack satisfactory outcome data. Many clinicians recommend observation in the hope of spontaneous resolution. [unfo-med.com]
Overall prognosis will often depend on other associated condition. Isolated condition may be treated successfully 8. Promoted articles (advertising) [radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis is good with a non-operative approach using the Ponseti method of treatment (bracing and serial casting). Achilles tenotomy is used in >90% of cases to improve dorsiflexion. [bestpractice.bmj.com]
Etiology
Etiology End-stage of planovalgus foot Posttraumatic Treatment Orthotics or ankle braces that support the longitudinal arch ( supination wedge) → to straighten the heel Surgery should be performed ( osteotomy, arthrodesis ) if conservative treatment is [amboss.com]
It is likely that the etiology of this case was an early embryologic exposure to amniotic constriction bands that affected the development of the distal limb. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Riboflavin deficiency can also result from chronic diarrhea, liver disorder, alcoholism, and hemodialysis. [3] [4] [5] Epidemiology Riboflavin deficiency is extremely rare in the United States. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
In order for this to occur, physicians require a basic understanding of the anatomy, pathophysiology, and biomechanics of the foot. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] elevated longitudinal arch) plantarflexion of the 1st ray and forefoot pronation hindfoot varus forefoot adduction Epidemiology seen in both pediatric and adult populations 67% due to a neurologic condition when bilateral often hereditary or congenital Pathophysiology [orthobullets.com]
The pathophysiology of this condition is still unclear, however, and optimal dosing of riboflavin is unknown [1, 2]. In the majority of patients with riboflavin transporter deficiency, a sensory gait ataxia occurs due to sensory neuropathy [1, 2]. [cerebellumandataxias.biomedcentral.com]
Prevention
Therefore, in neurological patients with stress fractures, optimal treatment would be to achieve a plantigrade foot enabling them to relieve the fifth metatarsal overload, which prevents the consolidation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Surgical correction may be required to improve function and prevent long-term problems. [medicine.umich.edu]
