24.01.2022 Tibial Varum- where the tibia (main bone from the knee to the ankle) exhibits a bowing towards the midline of the body. This presents with pain in the medial (inside) compartment of the knee as well as pain in the inside foot and ankle due to the associated excessive compensatory pronation (rolling inwards of the ankle and arch collapse). This patient presented with pain in the medial knee and ankle. An orthotic to realign the foot and ankle works well to reduce the medial knee compartment stress and reduce the compensating pronation of the foot and ankle. #tibialvarum #pronation #orthotics

24.01.2022 A patient presented to the clinic with a painful Right Big Toe. On inspection it was noted he was suffering from Gout. Gout is a common type of arthritis characterised by excessive Uric Acid in the bloodstream. The acid forms clumps of small, sharp crystals in and around joints, mainly the big toe joint. This leads to severe pain, redness and in this case the white appearance known and tophi. Gout can usually be managed by medication and more importantly diet and lifestyle modifications to reduce foods high in uric acid.

24.01.2022 Onychocryptosis (Ingrowing toenail) Onychocryptosis occurs when part of the nail penetrates the nail sulcus. This can result in an infection and the development of granulation tissue. The toe will be red, inflamed and painful with purulent exudate. The severity of appearance of the nail will vary. Factors contributing to onychocryptosis ... The shape of the nail more curved increases prevalence Poor nail cutting technique leaving a nail spike in the nail sulcus Tight Footwear - increased pressure between the skin in the nail fold and nail Previous trauma to the nail Treatment and prevention Cutting the nail straight across to allow the corners to protrude. Dont cut a V; this doesnt help as the shape of the nail is determined by the growing area at the base of the nail, not the end. Avoid wearing shoes and socks that are too tight. Keep feet clean to prevent the ingrown nail from becoming infected. Those with poor circulation or diabetes should not do any self management of ingrown toenails but see a Podiatrist Come in and see our Podiatrists for the best course of action and quickest resolution for your pain. Call us on (02) 9099 1050 for appointments.

24.01.2022 C Shaped Foot/Fixed Supination- patient presented with a fixed non reducible supinated (rolling out of Foot) rearfoot. A #custommadeorthotic was prescribed and made to limit the amount of supination. A higher lateral heel cup and flange was prescribed as seen in photos. Orthotics can be used to great effect and improve function and mobility in a short amount of time.

22.01.2022 BACK TO SCHOOL TIME! Its back to school so lets discuss tips for purchasing school shoes! Children spend on average 30 hours a week in their school shoes so ensure you get them properly fitted in store or by your podiatrist. - laces or Velcro are preferred to hold the heel firmly in the back of the shoe. - the sole should not twist, only bend in the toe box as this is where we toe off during walking ... - a thumb width between the end of the shoe and end of the longest toe - strong, sturdy heel counter - the widest part of the foot should correspond to the widest part of the shoe - Clarks Daytona is classic choice for shoes which fits all the above features - Ascent school shoes are Podiatrist endorsed - Both these shoes have the bonus of being orthotic friendly For further tips or for any questions you have call into the clinic for a footwear assessment, call us on 9099 1050 or visit www.revesbypodiatryclinic.com.au #backtoschool #schoolshoes2019 #podiatrist

16.01.2022 Wishing all our patients and friends A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! May it be a year filled with happiness, joy and health. See you all for an even bigger and better 2019!

16.01.2022 ** DIABETES ALERT ** Diabetes is Australias fastest growing chronic disease with the number of people affected expected to reach 2.5 million people this year. Close to half dont know that they have diabetes. The feet are affected by diabetes in a number of ways. A major problem is a change to the arteries that leads to reduced blood flow. This can lead to slower healing and increased chance of infection. Another major problem is peripheral neuropathy or damage to all t...he nerves that supply the feet. This can create numbness, loss of muscle strength, and changes in foot shape. The role of the Podiatrist is to assess the feet to determine the risk of developing more serious problems. We do this by assessing blood flow, feeling and reflexes, muscle tone strength and balance, skin and toenails problems and areas of high pressure that can cause lesions to develop on the feet. The podiatrist can then provide appropriate treatment or advice depending on the risk factors identified. Every person with diabetes should see a Podiatrist at least once per year, so give us a call on (02) 9099 1050 to have your diabetic foot assessment. #diabetes #revesbypodiatry #neurovascularassessment

12.01.2022 Calluses and Corns, What are they and how do we treat them? Common to many people are calluses (hyperkeratosis). Callus is the thickening of skin in response to pressure and is the bodys natural way of protecting sensitive areas of skin from repetitive trauma. Callus is usually a diffuse thickening of the skin, common on the heels and balls of the feet. Corns are more focused and may be surrounded by or be underneath callus. The two most common types of corns are the soft an...d hard corns. Hard corns most commonly appear on the bony prominences of toes and under bones of the foot. Soft corns appear between the toes and are kept soft by the moisture in this area. The sensations from a corn may resemble that of having a rock in your shoe and can be very painful if left untreated. Corns do not have a root; rather it is a hardened centre or nucleus, which needs to be removed for effective pain management. Treatment for callus and corns involves daily self-care and regular debridement. Offloading corns can be done with apertures (donut shaped dressing) and padding that redistribute pressures to the surrounding areas. Customised innersoles can help offload and redistribute pressure to other areas. Treat callus with an emery board or pumus stone in the shower, and apply an emollient (e.g. sorbolene cream) to keep the skin soft. Treatment for corns involves removal of the nucleus and debridement of the surrounding callus with a sharp instrument (scalpel), and should only be done by a podiatrist. The use of corn-pads is not recommended as an effective treatment and should be avoided. To best assist with your callus or corns, come in and have one of our podiatrist's treat them accordingly for effective removal and pain relief and give you the best options for long term prevention. Call us on 9099 1050 for all bookings.

11.01.2022 One of the fastest growing chronic diseases, ensure you visit your podiatrist for your annual foot health and diabetes assessment!

09.01.2022 Following on from our post last week on Hyperkeratosis (callouses), a patient presented today with quite thickened/hardened build up of skin around his heels and bottom of his feet. There was even quite a bit of fissuring (cracks in heels). After just one treatment with our Podiatrist, his feet and heels came up as new and he commented he was now floating on air! Have a look at the before and after! So if you too would like to float on air and give your feet and callouses a... make over book in to see our team to have a thorough treatment to have your feet feeling great!

09.01.2022 Why are my toes purple? As we well and truly settle into the colder Winter months, changes to our feet can occur Chilblains is a very common condition arising during winter. Chilblains are small itchy swellings on the skin, which can become painful over time. They are a localised form of vasculitis, which is an inflammation of the blood vessels in the skin and usually present as a red or purple discoloured area of the skin, commonly affecting the toes and soles of the feet. ...Chilblains are caused due to blood vessel shut-down in cold conditions and humidity. The cold exposure damages capillary beds in the skin, which in turn cause the redness, itching, blisters and inflammation associated with chilblains. The cold causes constriction of the small arteries and veins in the skin. When these areas are warmed up again, it can cause leakage of blood into the tissues and swelling of the skin. Chilblains can be very itchy and painful if left untreated, can swell and dry out, leaving cracks in the skin that can expose the foot to infection. Those with impaired circulation such as peripheral vascular disease and diabetes are at increased risk of developing chilblains. The best treatment is prevention, and chilblains can be prevented by keeping the feet and hands warm in cold weather. Other strategies include: Avoiding rapid changes in temperature, if an area gets cold do not warm it up too quickly! Avoiding medicines that may constrict blood vessels Keep as active as possible to keep the blood flow pumping Wear warm clothing including gloves, thick socks and comfortable footwear. If they are bothering you, are quite painful or the skin is broken make an appointment with us on 9099 1050 to assess the best form of treatment and prevent further complications. #cold #winter #coldfeet #chilblains See more

09.01.2022 DO YOU SUFFER WITH HEEL PAIN FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR AFTER A PERIOD OF SITTING? Heel pain is one of the most common complaints treated by Podiatrists, accounting for 25% of all foot injuries. Whilst there are many causes and presentations of heel pain, the most common symptoms are a dull aching pain which slowly gets worse over time. The worst and often sharpest pain is experienced after periods of rest and walking after waking up in the morning. The pain often is felt ...directly through the bottom or on the inside area of the heel. The most common presentation of heel pain is caused by an inflammation of the plantar fascia where it inserts into the heel bone, known as plantar fasciitis or heel spur syndrome. The plantar fascia is a tight band of tissue connecting between the heel and the front of the foot and plays an important role in maintaining strength in the foot. A heel spur which is a sharp extension of bone from the heel is commonly associated with heel pain. However it is vital to note that the spur is not the source of the pain! For the quickest resolution to your pain and best treatment options come in and see our podiatrists or call 9099 1050 for an appointment to be pain free fast!

08.01.2022 Here we have modified an old pair of orthotics to remove excess pressure and forces off the first and fourth metatarsal heads on the right foot and the second and fifth metatarsal heads on the left foot. We have ground out the affected areas and used cushioned material to fill the area to assist in offloading. The patient was suffering with quite painful IPK (intractable plantar keratosis) a build up of hard skin and callous with a deep seated core. Following removal of the IPK and surrounding callous and orthotic modification the patient was now walking pain free! #revesbypodiatry #keepingyouonyourfeetiswhatwedo #orthotics #corns

06.01.2022 What do we have here? Our lovely 4 year old patient came in for a foot and lower limb assessment. We discovered that he had Metatarsus Adductus and Internal tibial torsion. Metatarsus Adductus is a condition whereby the first metatarsal is deviated excessively toward the midline of the body and internal tibial torsion present as in-toeing during gait. We customised an orthotic device with an out toe gait plate to reduce the in-toeing and re-align the tibia and a metatarsus ad...ductus bar to limit the deviation of the first metatarsal toward the midline of the body. #customorthotic #metatarsusadductus #internaltibialtorsion #revesbypodiatry #childrenspodiatry See more

06.01.2022 Palmoplantar Keratoderma - excessive thickening of the skin on palms of hands and soles of feet, characterised by clusters of hard skin and corns on the feet in this case. Debridement of the thickened skin and removal of corns provides comfort and relief.

05.01.2022 Another gem from @theradiologistpage . Reports are often accurate thanks to the trained eye but a referring clinician should never be so complacent. Make sure ...you have a routine checklist system like this to follow. . Like all X-rays it is impossible to clear a fracture or dislocation on one view and this needs to be looked at in combination with the AP view. There are a few things that I always look for that are better seen on a lateral view than an AP: 1 Check for soft tissue swelling: this can lead you towards a fracture. Check you can see Kagers triangle - a lucent fat pad formed by the borders of the Achilles tendon, flexor hallicus longus (calf tendon) and calcaneus. You lose the sharp triangle in instances of Achilles rupture and other pathologies affecting the posterior ankle 2 Hidden fibula fracture: sometimes a fibula fracture may not be easily seen on the AP view and can only be seen on the lateral. The problem is the tibia hides the fibula from view so you need to take a minute to outline the fibula and make sure its contour is normal 3 Calcaneal shape: outline the calcaneus and assess Bohlers angle. Here we look to see if the calcaneus has become squashed down because of a fracture. Get a dedicated calcaneal view if you are suspicious but cant see a fracture on the lateral 4 Processes: I usually pay special attention to the posterior process of the talus and the anterior process of the calcaneus. A fracture of the latter is commonly missed! 5 Coalition: Not an acute problem but I usually review the sustenaculum tali - a horizontal shelf of the calcaneus. If you can see this is continuous with the talus (so called C sign) then consider a coalition where the bones are abnormally fused 6 Make sure youre not missing a cheeky fracture of the 5th metatarsal on the lateral ankle view! 7 Finish by outlining any remaining bones Thanks for sharing and tagging!
