A Prospective Study of 20 Foot and Ankle Wounds Treated with Cryopreserved Amniotic Membrane and Fluid Allograft – Corrected Proof

May 6, 2013

Abstract: We reviewed the background information and previous clinical studies that considered the use of allogeneic amniotic tissue and fluid (granulized amniotic membrane and amniotic fluid) in the treatment of chronic diabetic foot wounds. This innovation represents a relatively new approach to wound management by delivering a unique allograft of live human cells in a nonimmunogenic structural tissue matrix.

Plantar Pressure Distribution in a Hyperpronated Foot before and after Intervention with an Extraosseous Talotarsal Stabilization Device—A…

April 29, 2013

Abstract: Plantar pressure measurements have long been used by clinicians to provide information regarding potential impairments and disorders of the foot and ankle. Elevations in peak plantar pressures or a poor distribution of these pressures can be an indication of pathomechanics in the foot. Lower extremity deficits such as sensory impairment, foot deformities, limited joint mobility, and reduced plantar tissue thickness have been associated with high plantar pressures
