Accepted Answer

Post operative pain: Post op pain varies with number of surgeries, extent and nature. Speak to your orthopedic surgeon; however, pain varies from patient to patient over time.

Question 2

i had an old calcanea stress fracture with swelling.  can long-term foot instability, plantar fasciitis, sural neuropathy cause back problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Your foot issues affect how you walk and may well result in foot contact with the floor at an abnormal angle.  Stress can be transmitted to knees, hips, or lower back resulting in strain patterns.  See your podiatrist and see if orthotics or braces may help.

Question 3

what is nonosseous calcaneonavicular coalition?

Accepted Answer

Cartilage connection: Coalitions are connections between two bones. These connections can either be osseous or nonosseous. Nonosseous coalitions are two bones that are connected to each other generally via cartilage instead of two fused bones (osseous coalition). A nonosseous calcaneonavicular coalition means that these two bones are not fused together but are connected likely via cartilage.

Question 4

ankle bone spurrs?

Accepted Answer

They Happen!: Most any joint can develop hypertrophy (enlargement) of bone.  "spurs" is the common term for this build up of bone.  It can be the result of trauma to the joint, osteoarthritis of the joint, other arthritis conditions and general wear and tear.  Just having them does not have to mean anything.  It they become large enough and in the right position, they can be painful and need medical attention.

Question 5

what causes heel spurs?

Accepted Answer

Plantar fasciitis: In my experience, heel spurs are most commonly seen in patients who have plantar fasciitis.  The area of the heel which develops the spur is the insertion point of the plantar fascia.  When you walk, the plantar fascia excessivelly pulls at the site of its insertion which causes a spur over time.  There's another condition which causes bone spurs all over the body but this is rare.

Question 6

bone spur "side of heel", treatment?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: The treatment would depend on the exact location of the spur. You can try pads, ice, rest, otc nsaids. However, ultimately surgery may be indicated. See podiatrist.

Question 7

what does exostosis proximal  tibia metaphysis?

Accepted Answer

Bone growth: Usually at the insertion of a tendon. If the cartlige cap is abnormal it is of concern.

Question 8

what causes plantar fasciitis?

Accepted Answer

Inadequate support: Of foot due to either inadequate shoewear or poor biomechanics is the main reason. See podiatrist for evaluation and treatment.

Question 9

will hallux rigidus  cause planter fasciitis?

Accepted Answer

In theory yes: Limited range of motion of the hallux can cause bio mechanical strain to other parts of the foot including the plantar fascia

Question 10

what causes foot stress fracture?

Accepted Answer

Trauma: Repetitive amounts of low intensity trauma over time can lead to stress fractures.
