The Agony of the Foot:
Daniel Thuillier, M.D.Assistant Professor of Clinical Orthopaedics
University of California San Francisco
Top 5 Foot and Ankle Problems in Primary Care
Outline
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Achilles Tendonitis
• Achilles Ruptures
• Ankle Sprains
– Lis Franc
• Bunions

Plantar Fasciitis
• Population/Incidence
– Men and Women of all ages
‐10% of Americans have some form of heel pain
‐1 Million medical visits Annually
• Symptoms
– Plantar Medial heel pain
– Often worse in morning
– Worse with Activity
Pathophysiology
• Inflammation of the plantar fascial insertion at the medial plantar aspect of the calcaneus
Physical Examination/Studies
• +TTP at the plantar medial aspect of the calcaneus
• Achilles/Gastrocnemius tightness
• May or may not have plantar calcaneal bone spur on xrays
11/21/2017
3
Treatment• Almost always Conservative
• May Take Many months to Resolve
• Achilles/Gastroc/Plantar fascial stretching
• Heel Cups
• OTC Arch Supports
• Night Splints
• CAM walker/Casting
• *Injections‐ do have increased rupture rate*
Achilles Tendonitis/Tendinopathy
• Incidence
– Men and women of all ages
– 24%‐50% of lifetime runners
• Symptoms
– Pain In Achilles Tendon with Activity
11/21/2017
4
Pathophysiology
• Chronic Overuse Injury
• Occurs in 2 places– Insertion
– Mid‐Substance
Exam/Imaging
• +TTP in the achilles
• Swelling of achilles in midsubstance or insertion
• “Pump Bump” – posterior calcaneal bone spur
Treatment
• Almost Always Conservative
– Ice, Rest, NSAIDS
– Heel Lift
– Dedicated Eccentric Stretching program
– Period of Immobilization (CAM walker, Cast)
– NO STEROID INJECTIONS
• Surgery Reserved for Failed Conservative Management

Achilles Rupture
• Incidence– Men 30s/40s
– Athletes and weekend warriors
– 7/100,00 population
– ~10% prior achillessymptoms
• Symptoms– Relatively painless!!!
– “kicked in heel”
– Walk funny, limp, weak
Anatomy
• Achilles Tendon is the biggest tendon in the body and subjected to the highest loads
• Has a 90 degree twist
• Inserts broadly over the posterior calcaneus
• Watershed area 4‐6 cm proximal to the insertion

6
Clinical Examination
• Palpable Defect
• Decreased plantarflexion strength
• Decreased resting tone
• + Thompson’s Test (Calf Squeeze and no Plantarflexion)
• Clinical Examination was more sensitive than MRI in detecting acute rupture
11/21/2017
7
Initial Treatment
• Plantarflexion in Splint (20‐30 degrees)
• Alternatively, plantarflexion in CAM walker with heel lifts (2).
Surgery vs No Surgery
Surgery
• Pros– Get tension to proper degree
– Likely Lower rerupture rate
– Feel like you did something
– “It’s what Kobe got”
• Cons– Cost
– Higher complication rate
• Especially wound problems
Non Op Treatment
• Pros– Less complications
– No
• Cons– Higher Rerupture Rate
– Tension may not be restored as well

8
• 12 month follow up
• Similar functional results
• Similar re‐rupture rate
Ankle Sprains• Men and Women of all
ages• ~600,000 Ankle
Sprains per year in the US
• 3-5% of all ED visits (UK)
• Symptoms– Pain in Ankle– Swelling– Difficulty with Weight
bearing

Ankle Sprains
Pathophysiology• ATFL is the most common
ligament injured– Resists Anterior translation of
the talus
• CFL may be injured as well– Resists talar tilt
• Grading Sprain– 1‐3 – how much is torn
• Mortise is maintained no matter what the grade
Ankle Sprains
Treatment• 95% of ankle sprains are
asymptomatic at 1 year no matter how they are treated
• Slightly better functional results with early rehabilitation
• Surgical Repair reserved for those with prolonged (>6 months) of symptoms of instability

Sprain vs Fracture?
Sprain
• Acute twisting Injury
• Pain swelling at ankle
• Bruising
• Difficulty with Weight bearing
Fracture
• Acute twisting Injury
• Pain Swelling at ankle
• Bruising
• Difficulty with weight bearing
The only real way to tell is with imaging
History
“High Ankle Sprain” - Syndesmosis
• Pain out of proportion to injury
• Prolonged Recovery• Pain posterior to fibula• Pain up leg towards
knee• Difficulty with one leg
hop• Pain with dorsiflexion
of ankle

Lis Franc Fracture/dislocation
Anatomy
• Lis Franc Joint runs between the tarsal and metatarsal bones
• Both Dorsal and plantar ligaments
• Plantar ligaments are stronger
• Strongest in between medial cuneiform and base of second metatarsal
• Same in Adults and Kids
www.aofoundation.org
Lis Franc Fracture/Dislocation
• Maybe direct or indirect, contact/no contact
• Axial Load to plantarflexed foot
www.aofoundation.org
11/21/2017
12
Assessment
• History– Painful walking
– Pain in midfoot
• Physical Examination
• Midfoot Swelling
• Midfoot Pain– Dorsal or plantar
• Ecchymosis
• MUST GET Appropriate IMAGING IF THESE ARE PRESENT
www.aofoundation.org
Bunion (Hallux Valgus)
• Population/Incidence
– 24% >60 yo
– Women 2‐4X men
– Strong family History
• Symptoms
– Pain in great toe, especially with shoewear
– Deformity of first toe
– Erythema, Swelling
11/21/2017
13
Pathoanatomy
• Complex Deformity
• Lateral Deviation First Toe, with Medial Deviation of Phalanx
Treatment
Conservative
• Shoewear Modification
• Orthotics
• Bunion Sleeves
• Bunion Pads
• Gastroc Stretching
Surgical
• Usually reserved for those who fail conservative treatment
• >100 different surgical procedures described
• Results vary ‐ ~70‐85% improvement
