plantaris insertion
medial aspect of tendo-achilles into calcaneus
this organism is classically associated with gas gangrene
clostridium perfringens
TcPo2 below what value predicts poor healing
<30
threshold IMA beyond which distal osteotomy is generally insufficient per ABFAS guidelines
>16 degrees
tarsal coalitions from most to least common
1. calcaneonavicular
2. talocalcaneal
3. talonavicular
this antibiotic commonly causes pseudomembranous colitis
clindamycin
superficial bacterial infection, commonly affecting the interdigital web spaces in diabetic patients, produces a characteristic coral-red fluorescence under woods lamp
erythrasma (corynebacterium minutissimum)
this ankle fracture pattern results from what type of rotation
supination-external rotation
these muscle make up the first layer of the plantar foot
- abductor hallucis
- flexor digitorum brevis
- abductor digiti minimi
this drug covers MRSA and VRE abut may cause thrombocytopenia
linezolid
this is the angiosome -base approach target for revascularization in heel diabetic foot ulcers
posterior tibial artery
incisional approach most commonly used for open reduction internal fixation of a Sanders type II calcaneal fracture
lateral extensile
which talar surface receives its blood supply primarily from the artery of the tarsal canal
medial talar body
antibiotics you can mix with PMMA beads
heat labile antibiotics (vancomycin & aminoglycosides)
wound healing problem where the edges of the skin roll inward and under, preventing new skin cells from migrating across to close the wound
epibole
optimal hindfoot position for ankle arthrodesis
5 degrees valgus, neutral dorsiflexion, 5-10 degrees external rotation
cutting this muscle results in adductovarus of digits 4 & 5
