A 45-year-old male presented with severe pain in his left foot. His medical history included stage IV biopsy-proven pulmonary sarcoidosis diagnosed six years earlier, with negative acid-fast stain in lymph node biopsy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. Recently, despite 10 mg prednisolone daily, a positron emission tomography/computer tomography (PET/CT) scan had suggested increased sarcoi...

In many horses with proximal suspensory desmitis, radiopharmaceutical uptake (RU) in the proximal aspect of the third metacarpal (metatarsal) bone is normal. Increased RU reflects an enthesopathy, which may influence both treatment and prognosis.

We report three further patients of the recently described new bone dysplasia-dominantly inherited pseudorheumatoid arthritis. The patients of this report have a similar clinical history, the same distinctive phenotype and almost identical radiographic findings. The only major difference is absence of weather dependent articular pain which characterized the family of the previous study. This re...

The Anterior Tibialis Tendon (ATT) is usually the site of minor injuries due to its straight course, however, overuse still possible repetitive foot dorsiflexion. This tendon crosses anteromedial aspect ankle running toward medial border under inferior and superior extensor retinacula inserts at level cuneiform base first metatarsal bone. It can be prone tendinosis, tenosynovitis, partial or co...

We report a rare case of Ewing's sarcoma involving the third metatarsal bone and spreading into adjacent bone in a 23-year-old man, with special emphasis on imaging characteristics. On radiographs the tumor presented as a permeative lytic lesion with aggressive periosteal reaction and cortical destruction. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging delineated the osseous and soft tissue...

The authors introduce a new incisional approach to surgery of the rheumatoid foot. Advantages and disadvantages are presented. Historical comparisons are discussed, along with refinement of techniques for pan metatarsal head resection.
