🧡Today is World Patient Safety Day! This year’s theme is “safe care for noncommunicable diseases” - and that includes protecting your feet from the ground up.

If you are managing diabetes, undergoing cancer therapies, or checking your skin health, your feet need specialized safety checks. Because melanoma can hide between your toes and neuropathy can mask serious diabetic injuries, patient safety requires active teamwork.

Protect your feet with these steps:

🦶INSPECT DAILY: Check the top, bottom, and between your toes for cuts, sores, or unusual moles.

🗣️SPEAK UP: Tell Dr. Relation immediately if you notice changes in feeling, spots that bleed, or slow-healing wounds.

🩺GET SCREENED: Schedule regular podiatric exams to catch complications early.

✨ Preventable harm has no place in healthcare. Let’s keep your feet healthy and safe!✨

✨ This case was referred to Dr. Relation by another surgeon for severe metatarsus adductus, midfoot arthritis, an arthritic bunion and dislocated toe joints that made everyday life painful. Patient Specific Instrumentation (PSI) was utilized to create custom cut guides to ensure anatomical alignment, accurate reduction of the deformity, plan for fixation options and improve OR time.

After failing additional conservative measures over many years, they underwent a PSI Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction™ with PSI adductoplasty procedure, 1st MTP fusion, osteotomies of the 2nd and 3rd metatarsals with hammertoe repair of the 2nd through 4th toes.

At 6 months out, the patient is walking pain free on this foot and has scheduled the opposite foot for correction!

With this type of procedure, patients can be weight-bearing in a walking boot within a few days of surgery. Many can be back in a comfortable shoe within 8 weeks of the procedure!

Every case is different and post-op protocols/outcomes may vary based on individual circumstances.

Images are 6 months post op.

✨ This patient suffered for many years from severe hallux valgus with dislocated hammertoes and callus on the bottom of their feet which made every step painful. This condition is a result of Rheumatoid Arthritis. They underwent a great toe joint fusion with Treace System 2 biplanar plating as well as resection of metatarsal heads 2-5, temporary k-wires for stabilization of the MTPs along with hammertoe repair.

Final images are one year post op and show the dramatic correction with complete absence of plantar callus and reduction of the deformity. Most importantly this patient is now walking….Pain Free!🦶

With this type of procedure, patients can be weight-bearing in a walking boot starting the same day of surgery. Many can be back in a comfortable shoe within 6-8 weeks of the procedure!

Every case is different and post-op protocols/outcomes may vary based on individual circumstances.
