  • Fantastic

    I am a NHS Consultant orthopaedic and trauma surgeon in the UK whose elective practice is 100 percent adult foot ankle for over a decade. I can honestly say I have not found a better educational audio resource than this. As a registrar I got the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons Orthopedic Knowledge Update 7 on tape whilst preparing for my FRCS(Orth) exam and this made my two hour car commute per day at that time an educationally valuable time. That was in 1998, and I’ve been searching for... more

  • Podiatrist student

    I'm a podiatric student and this is a great podcast to listen to. I really enjoy the great advice the physicians have for future podiatrists as far as residency, expectations, and balancing work and life. The topics discussed are also presented very well and the panels are made up of well respected podiatric physicians.

  • Passive learning

    These free lectures were a great review on topics that I wanted to cover for rra boards. I did not have time to read and could listen almost anytime. Other topics include foot surgery, wound care and practice management. I plan to continue to listen to keep myself up-to date. The expert panelist are well respected in the foot and ankle surgery community.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Non-Surgical Treatment of Ankle Fractures
Q: What is your preferred non-operative protocol for an SER2?
Approaches vary: Collman generally uses a cast for three to four weeks followed by a boot, Piraino favors a boot with early ankle range of motion and later a lace-up brace, and Burns checks stability after a week before continuing in a boot. The panel differs on how often physical therapy is needed.
Non-Surgical Treatment of Ankle Fractures
Q: In your opinion, which ankle fractures do you think are amenable to non-operative treatment?
The panel identifies stable SER2 and many distal fibular fractures as common candidates. Selected bimalleolar fractures may also be managed non-operatively if reduction can be maintained. Older, frail or diabetic patients may be candidates depending on individual risks and their ability to follow the treatment plan.

Q: How have you noticed the evolution of bunion surgery?

Private Equity - Good or Bad?

Private equity is expected to grow in podiatry due to increased patient demand and dwindling physician numbers, which provides leverage against insurance companies.
