CME OnDemand - Forgotten Fractures of the Foot-Forgotten Fractures of the Foot

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Summary:<br /><br />This video is a webinar moderated by Dr. Brian Weatherford and features presentations by Drs. Jeff Marysak, Laurie Reed, Michael Givens, and Michael Swartz. It discusses various forgotten fractures of the foot such as the cuboid, navicular, and peripheral calcaneal fractures. The webinar emphasizes the importance of accurate imaging for diagnosis and highlights treatment options including external fixation and surgical strategies. The presenters stress the need for anatomic reduction, maintaining bone length and stability, and consider arthrodesis in certain cases. The video includes x-ray images and CT scans to illustrate the fractures and their treatment. Its aim is to provide information and insights into managing forgotten fractures of the foot.<br /><br />The speaker in this video focuses on lateral process and posterior process fractures of the talus, as well as sustentaculum fractures of the calcaneus. Accurate imaging is highlighted for diagnosis, with CAT scans recommended to assess the extent of injury. Treatment involves provisional reduction followed by definitive fixation, and for sustentaculum fractures, a separate incision may be required. The video emphasizes the use of distractors for visualization and reducing the subtalar joint. Restoring native anatomy and achieving stability with fixation is crucial. Overall, the video offers insights into managing these specific foot fractures and discusses the challenges involved in their treatment.<br /><br />The webinar is moderated by Dr. Brian Weatherford and features presentations by Drs.
