Functional Anatomic Support Taping (FAST): A Novel Method for Plantar Fascia Taping Using Kinesiology Tape

Levi Berry, DPM, Dustin Bruening, PhD, Keith Murdock, DPM, Luek Frame, BS, Stephen Facer, BS

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: April 30, 2022

Plantar fascia taping is a common conservative treatment method used to treat plantar fasciitis, or plantar heel pain. Clinical taping methods (e.g., Low-Dye and calcaneal) have been shown to be effective in reducing plantar heel pain, but their application is laborious and generally not self-applied. The growth of retail home-based kinesiology tape products has created an opportunity to improve the use of taping in the clinical and home settings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ef...

Mueller Weiss Syndrome: A Missed Cause of Mid Foot Pain

Saad Madi, MD and Harald Kuhn, MD

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: April 22, 2022

Mueller-Weiss syndrome, or spontaneous osteonecrosis of the tarsal navicular bone in adults, is an idiopathic foot condition that causes chronic mid- and hind-foot pain with progressive deformity of the midfoot in adults. In this report, we describe the radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging of a rare case of Mueller-Weiss syndrome associated with spontaneous osteonecrosis of tarsal navicular bone resembling a cystic lesion in a 62-year-old female. The Mueller-Weiss Syndrome (MWS), which wa...

Expedited Diagnosis and Surgical Repair of Isolated Acute Anterior Tibial Tendon Rupture: A Case Report

Shilpa Sharma DPM, Josh B Moosikasuwan MD and Jalukumar Patel, DPM, FACFAS

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: March 25, 2022

Isolated acute anterior tibial (AT) tendon rupture is rare and can be missed, resulting in significant functional deformity of the affected limb. Early surgical treatment can improve functional patient outcomes, familiarity with patient presentation, including a history of ankle pain and swelling after hyper-plantar flexion and signs of a palpable dell and weak dorsiflexory strength at the ankle, and prompt confirmation with MRI are crucial. Here we report a patient who had an isolated acute AT ...
