I am very excited to provide a new publication for podiatry and the lower extremity community. I encourage everyone to check your mailbox for the premiere issue of Lower Extremity Review and to check out the website: http://www.lowerextremityreview.com
We had a very successful APMA meeting and I think you will all enjoy the magazine very much.
In addition to our cover story on early intervention for knee OA, you’ll also find features on:
>preventing amputation in patients with diabetes
>optimal positioning for conservative treatment of Achilles rupture
>choosing a foot scanner
>how modeling studies can change your approach to plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, and PTTD
I have been in the podiatric publishing arena for 20 years having held positions at Current Podiatry and Podiatry Today before launching BioMechanics magazine. I did not have equity and when it was sold, I maintained my publisher position. Then CMPMedica abruptly shut down BioMechanics in February and a void was immediately created. At that moment, I decided to pursue my life-long dream of owning my own publication. Hence, the launch of Lower Extremity Review.
LER is a U.S. based free publication publication for APMA members and other specialties involved in lower extremity treatment. Our entire issue and more is posted on-line for your enjoyment. We do accept international subscriptions and the form is available on the website. www.lowerextremityreview.com
Please visit the site and leave a comment. I would love what you have to say.
The Preservation Amputation Care and Treatment (PACT) program in Nashville decreased amputation rates by 40% in patients with diabetes. Here’s how they did it.
To improve nonoperative management of Achilles tendon ruptures, the ankle should be immobilized at an angle that apposes the tendon ends as closely as possible without overlap. This study suggests the ideal ankle angle may be smaller than previously reported.
