Introduction
Dear Student:
In the pages that follow is useful information that will help make your externships, interviews and transition from student to resident a little bit easier. This information contained within is not the end all on the subject, but the tidbits that need to be on your "Mind's Fingertips".
Tills booklet is a useful guide on the need-to-know, need-to-keep information. Please use it as it was intended--a guide on the ever-changing world of medical information. My thanks go out to the Podiatric Surgical Residents at Crozer-Keystone Health System for the formation of this manual.
Sincerely,
William M. Urbas, DPM Crozet-Keystone Residency Director

Authers Introduction
This manual is NOT meant to replace "McGlarnry's", the "Presbyterian Manual", the "Podiatry Institute Manual" or any other reference source. Those manuals are excellent resources and should be used to continue to learn the information. To this day, I still use those texts for information and reference.
This manual is based on questions I came across as an extern or a resident, either from my own questions or questions from a superior. 1 would write these questions down and after I looked up the answers, I would keep the questions with their answers in a log.
Later, as a resident, 1 was quizzing a student in order to get her ready for her interviews. The student asked me, "Why can't there be a book of these questions?" After that, I started to put together the manual. ] also added some additional items to complete the manual.
In no way, shape or form do I claim that the answers written here are the only answers possible, nor do I even claim that they are all 100% correct. These answers are the ones that I came up with when] researched the questions. It is up to you to go to the true references--not only to make sure that the answers are correct, but also to make sure that you understand why.
Therefore, the purpose of this manual is so that the reader can have some questions and answers so that he or she can go to the sources and really learn podiatry.
I am not able to provide all of my sources because when I started writing down the answers, I had no idea of turning it into a manual. However, my major sources are, "The Comprehensive Textbook of Foot Surgery", "The Presbyterian Manual" and "The Podiatry Institute Manual". A special thank you to my attendings and co-residents at the Crozer-Keystone Health Systems in Springfield, P A.
Good Luck and Happy Studying,
Brett Chicko, DPM
P.S. I wrote this book for the sole purpose of helping my profession of Podiatric Surgery and Medicine. I have not received any compensation, nor will I, for writing this book.

RSD
",That is RSD?
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
RSD is when the body doesn't heal in an orderly manor and pt will have an unexpected degree of pain, swelling, stiffness and dysfunction even though proper treatment was given,
Me Causes of RSD? General
1. Abnormal response in sympathetic nervous system
2. Abnormal reflex leading to vasomotor instability and pain
Specific
1. Trauma
2. Peripheral nerve injury
3. Drugs-anti-TB, barbiturates, cyclosporines But anything can cause it.
What are the stages ofRSD?
I. Acute-constant pain (intense burning) Possible edema, muscle wasting
Pain increased by light touch, movement and emotion
2. Dystrophic- increased edema that is indurated Constant pain by any stimulus
Skin is coo] pale and discolored
X-ray shows diffuse osteoporosis
3. Atrophic- intractable pain spreads proximally to involve entire limb Decreased dermal blood flow, thin shiny skin
Fat pat atrophy
Joint stiffen, may proceed to ankylosis
Call. RSI) show up on X-ray'?
Plain film findings in RSD include periarticular, mottled, irregular bony demineralization (seen in 30-60(1t, of cases) and cortical thinning.
Will RSD show up on a bone scan?
The 3-phase bone scan has sensitivity of %% and specificity of 98% ill detecting RSD. A normal scan does not exclude the diagnosis of RSD. The result of the bone scan is based OIl the RSD phase
Stage 1: (Early 0 to 8-20 weeks)
Increase flow and blood pool activity in the affected extremity. Increased activity, particularly in a periarticular distribution is noted on delayed images.
Stage 2: (Mid 2 to 6 months, possibly up to 1 year)
Flow and blood pool abnormalities begin to normalize, but increased activity on delayed linages persists.
Stage 3: (Late Over 6 -12 months)
Flow and blood pool activity can be normal or decreased (in about 113 of patients) in the involved extremity. Normal or decreased activity is commonly seen on delayed images, however. persistent increased delayed activity (3rd phase) has been reported in up to 40% of pts. Decreased flow in advanced RSD may be related to disuse, which is a common feature of post-hemiplegic RSD.

Labs and P't l\lana£err1ent
Whar orders should you order for an inhouse pt for surgery? Labs-cbc with diff pr/ptr/inr, sma-?
X-ray;; OR in AM
Anesthesia to see pt
npo after midnight
Chest x-ray, ECG (if necessary)
(Y OLI might also have to call for medical clearance of the patient)
What other factors does one have to be concerned with when getting the patient ready for surgery?
lfthe patient is taking steroids, insulin, anticoagulants or anything else that might put the patient at risk.
Note: it is usually best to dear any non-routine orders with the patient's primary service.
CBC with Diff
What is in a CBC?
liVBC (white blood cell count), hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelets.
Normal lab values of CBC?
Note: every lab has different lab values.
'NBC 5000 to 10,000
Hemoglobin For males is 14-] 8 g/dl
For females is 12-16 g/dl
Hematocrit For males is 40-54% For females is 37-47%
Platelets 150,000 -450,000
When dealing with an infection, what do you expect to happen to the WBC count after surgery?
Eventually it should go down, but in post-op days 1-2 the WBC may go up a point or two. This is believe to be because surgery stirs up the body's reaction to the infection. It lS a common occurrence.
What to do if ""Be is over 10
First decide if the patient has an infection or not.
l. 11' the patient has an infection. then the antibiotics and the possible incision and drainage (I&D) should eventually decrease the WBe count.
2. If non-infected pt. then you must find out the cause. Is then is the patient taking corticosteroids? Is the increase acute or chronic? Is there a combination of medical condition causing this? Notify your attending/senior resident (as always).

What to do if platelets are low (under 150,006-350,OOO/mL)? Notify your attending/senior resident
Can transfuse platelets, but it is not commonly done.
What should the Bet and Hemoglobin be for surgery'! Hemoglobin 10 gm/dl or greater
Hct 30 % or higher
What to do if the Hemoglobin/Hematocrit if below 10/30? Notify your attending/senior resident
Can give patient packed red blood cells (PRBC)
What is the condition called? Anemia.
'What is in a sma-7?
Sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, BUN (blood urea nitrogen), creatinine, glucose
What is in a sma-12?
Sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, BUN (blood urea nitrogen), creatinine, glucose plus calcium, cholesterol, phosphatase (alkaline), transaminases (alanine and aspartate)
What are the normal values of a sma-7? Note values change with different labs
Na+ 134-149 meq/l
Potassium 3.2-5.2 meq/l
Chloride 94-110 mmol
Carbon dioxide 19-32 mmol/l
Bun 6-26 mg/dl
Creatinine 0.4-1.59 mg/dl
Glucose 56-124 rng/dl
What does Na+, K+, CI and CO tell you? Nutritional status. These are your electrolytes
Wbat to do if N a+ is low? Give NSS or regular salt.
What should your K+ levels be?
For K+, ifpt is on digoxin worry if the K + level is around 3, ifnot worry ifbelow 2.8. This condition is called hypokalemia.
The K + should be below 5.2. If it is above that the condition is called hyperkalemia.
Crozer-Keystone Residency Manual 2004, Arranged by Brett Chicko, DPM 44
What to do if K + is too low?
Notify your attending and the anesthesiologist
Give K rider (potassium chloride supplement). also give potassium food in diet i.e., banana
What to do with an elevated K+ (Hyperkalemia)? Witb a K + over 5.2 meq/L,
1 st get ECG.
2nd manage the hyperkalemia
Calcium gluconate 10<X, give 10 ml over 2-5 minutes Sodiwn bicarbonate 7.5%, give I ampule IV over 5 minutes Manage the glucose and insulin
What does bun and creat tell you? Kidney function
What to do if creatinine is high?
Consult renal if creat is over 1.5 for a couple of results. Note creat may be increased after muscle loss or breakdown.
Which is more important-Bun or creat? Why?
Creat is more important because bun is influenced by hydration state. In other words, if bun is high but creat is normal, then the patient is most likely dehydrated and rehydration (i.e .. NSS at 80 cc per hour) should correct the bun.
However, if bun and creat are both high, then the patient most likely has kidney damage.
""hat do PT/PTTIINR tell you? The coaguable state of the patient
If one of these is high, it means that the patient will take longer to stop bleeding or it is harder for the pt to develop a blood clot. It only takes blockage of one of the pathways to anticoagulate the patient.
PTIPTTlINK
What causes the PTT to he high 'l Heparin

Which pathway does PT check? Extrinsic
'What call cause the J>TfINR to he high'! Coumadin (rnostlikely)
Malnutrition
Alcoholism
Antibiotics
Metabolic disorders
What does INR stand for and why was it developed? International Normalized Ratio.
The INR was developed because there are different ways to determine the PT and thus there are different lab values of normal and abnormal. INR was developed to take all off the different P'T's and make it into a set oflab values (the INR) that would be constant regardless of the method to develop the PT.
"That are the INR values? Normal=I
Intense anticoagulation=z-S High intensity=2.5-3
What do you want the INR to be for most surgeries? Under 1.4
What to do if the INR is over 1.4? Tell your attending/senior resident
Transfuse Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP). Under normal circumstances, one unit of FFP should decrease the INR 0.2, however, this is not a hard rule.
Vit. K is an option, but it will only bring it the INR a small bit and it takes over 24 hours to work.
When is it ok to have an INR higher than 1.4?
l , The risk of surgery outweighs the risk of excessive bleeding (i.e .. If it is an emergency surgery and you have anesthesia's ok)
2. With a patient with PVD and you are doing a debridement or amputation. I have seen debridements with an INR at 1.6.
Note: if the patient has PVD, make sure you have Vascular Surgery's OK for surgery. In this case it is acceptable for the patient to bleed a little extra-that is what we are hoping.
!fyou do surgery 011 a patient that has a high ThTR, what to you want to watch? The hemoglobin and Hematocrit. Make sure the patient is not anemic. lfthe Hemoglobin goes below 8, think about transfusing with prbc's.
When to discontinue aspirin before surgery? 7 days
When to die the coumadin before surgery? 3-5 days
When to die the heparin before surgery? g hours before surgery

Much of the information in this section is also found in the Antibiotics section.
However, in this section, the emphasis is on the clinical presentation or the test results and how to proceed from there. I believe this would be useful because often the decision on choosing a drug is based on the gram stain or clinical presentation.
Obviously, thanks to Dr. Joseph, DPM for much of this information.

Case Studv 1
A 23 yo pt presents ill the Emergency Department with foot trauma.
1. What do you do first?
Get a quick history and check neurovascular study.
2. Results
History-pi has his foot run over at work.
The patient states that his foot is ] Oil 0 pain, toes feel cold and numb.
NV check-You check his pulses and they are present, his toes feel cold, he can
not feel you touching the toes, his toes are changing color (purple or white) and he cannot move his toes. What is going on?
Compartment syndrome
Crozer-Keystone Residency Manual 2004, Arranged by Brett Chicko, DPM
64
3. What do you do next?
Remove dressings casts etc. If compartment syndrome persists, prepare pt for surgery-this is a surgical emergency. Compartment syndrome is a clinical diagnosis, according to The AO principals course. It is better to get the patient up to surgery than it is to find an instrument to measure the pressure.
Preparation for surgery-call your attending and senior residents, x-rays, labs, npo, anesthesia to see patient, consent.
What is compartment syndrome?
A condition with increased tissue in a limited space compartment which compromises the circulation and function of the tissues. It can lead to ischemia of the tissues.
What are some of the causes of compartment syndrome?
Fractures, crush injuries, prolonged limb compression and postischemic swelling. In a sense, any injury can cause compartment syndrome.
What are the signs of compartment syndrome'! Pain out of proportion (most important) Paresthesia
Pallor
Pulses present Poiklothermia (cold) Paralysis
What are some forms of measuring pressure?
Wick catheter, slit catheter, needle technique, continuous infusion technique But as stated before, this should be a clinical diagnosis.
What is the treatment'?
Fasciotomy oftbe compartment. In the leg surgical access should be made to access all four compartments.
To do a leg fasciotorny, make one incision medial to Tibia and one lateral. From the Medial incision, open the superficial and deep posterior compartments, From the lateral incision, open the anterior and lateral compartments.
What are some absolute indications for a fasciotomy? Motor and sensory loss
Tissue pressure above 35 mml-lg Pain out of control

What is most likely going on? Anaphylaxis
What is anaphylaxis?
A rapid, generalized immunolgical1y mediated events that occur after exposure to foreign antigen substances in previously sensitized persons. This syndrome can affect any organ in the body, but most commonly it affects pulmonary, circulatory, cutaneous, neurologic, and GI.
"That causes anaphylaxis?
It is the interaction of a foreign antigen with specific IgE antibodies found on tissue mast cells and peripheral blood basophils. Their release of histamine and other mediators cause smooth muscle spasm, brochospasm, mucosal edema and inflammation, and increased capillary permeability.
Clinical symptoms of anaphylaxis
Common (mildj-uticaria, weakness, dizziness, flushing, angioedema, congestion and sneezmg
More severe-upper respiratory tract obstruction, hypotension, vascular collapse, GI distress, cardiovascular arrhythmias and arrest.
What is the difference between anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reaction?
They present the same clinically, but anaphylactoid reaction is not mediated by IgE antibody and not necessarily requiring previous exposure to inciting substance.
What is the best way to prevent anaphylaxis?
History and elimination and avoidance of offending substances.
How do you treat anaphylaxis?
1. First thing is to stop the offending agent and other possible agents. lfthat means to dlc all meds, then do it.
2. If the patient is having life threatening problems like the case above, get them to an emergency department if they are at horne. Get the right people involved (attendings, senior residents etc.)
3. Treat the symptoms. Airway-bronchospasm
Initial therapy-epinephrine 0.5 ml of 1: 1 000 dilution (0.5mg) subq every 10-20 min Oxygen 40- ] 00 percent

Hawkin's sign - between week 6-8 an AP of the ankle reveals the presence or absence of subchondral atrophy. Subchondral atrophy is indicative of vascularity of the talar body thereby excluding the diagnosis of A VN.
MR1 can define the presence and the extent of osteonecrosis in the body of the talus as early as 3 weeks.
Up to 36 months are required for complete creeping substitution of the body after union has occurred. Ideally you want to protect the patient from -VVB until complete revascularization occurs - Patellar Tendon Bracing is an excellent adjunct to partially relieve the load on the talar dome once WB is initiated.
If the talar dome collapses - Blair Fusion - excise the avascular talar body and place a sliding corticocancellous graft from the anterior distal tibia into the residual, viable talar head and neck

a) lncisional Approaches
Medial Approach: Burdeaux
Combined Approach: Stephenson Extended Lateral Approach: Benirschke
b) Procedure:
Goal is to restore the STJ and C-C articulation
Need to perform the surgery within 6-8 hours of the injury otherwise it has to wait until the swelling is reduced.
Reduction is performed by placing a Steinmann pin through the tuberosity fragment to restore the STJ posterior facet. Once aligned, the tuberosity fragment is fixated to the constant fragment (sustentaculum fragment). Various plates can then be used to act as a buttress.
Before arthrodesis is performed, CR or ORlF should be attempted.

Main and Jowett (JBJS 57B: 89, 1975)
Classification is based on the direction of the deforming force and the resulting displacement
1. Medi.al Force
Type A: Flake fracture of the dorsal talus OR navicular and of the lateral calcaneus OR cuboid
Type B: Medial displacement of the forefoot with medial disassociation of the TN and C-C joints
Type C: Forefoot rotates medially around the interosseous talocalcaneal ligament, with T -N disassociation and the C-C joint intact
2. Longitudinal Force
Type A: Maximally plantarflexed ankle giving a characteristic pattern of through
and through navicular compression fracture:
AI: Force through the 1st ray: Crushes the medial3rd with the tuberosity displaced medially
A2: Force through the 2nd ray: Crushes the middle 3rd with the middle 3rd and tuberosity displaced medially
A3: Force through the 3rd ray: Crushes the lateral 3rd with the medial 2/3rds and tuberosity displaced medially
Type B: Submaximally plantarflexed ankle resulting in a dorsal displacement of the superior navicular and the crush of the inferior portion on the?
3. Lateral Forces
Type A: Forefoot forced into valgus with a resulting fracture of the navicular tuberosity OR dorsal talus and a compression fracture of the C-C joint (Nutcracker Fracture)
Type B: T-N joint displaces laterally with comminution of the C-C joint
4. Plantar Forces
Type A: Avulsion fracture of the dorsal navicular OR talus and the anterior
process
Type B: Impaction fracture of the inferior C-C joint

This classification is often used in the hospitals
Stage I-Nonblanchable erythema of intact skin
Stage 2-Partial thickness loss of skin involving epidermis, dermis or both. Ulcer is superficial and presents clinically as an abrasion, blister or shallow crater
Stage 3-Full-thickness tissue loss involving damage to or necrosis of subcutaneous tissue that many extend down to, but not through underlying fascia. The ulcer presents clinically as a deep crater with or without undermining of adjacent tissue.
Stage 4-Full thickness tissue loss with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis or damage to muscle, bone or supporting structures (e.g. tendon, joint capsule) Undermining and sinus tracts also may be associated.
USAHSC (Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery 35: 528-531, 1996)
Grade 0: Pre or Post ulcerative lesion completely epithelialized Grade 1: Superficial wound not involving tendon, capsule, or bone Grade 2: Wound penetrating to tendon or capsule
Grade 3: Wound penetrating to bone or joint
Within each grade there are 4 subtypes:
A: non-ischemic, clean wound B: infected wound
C: ischemic wound
D: infected and ischemic wound

• Hematogenous: Spread via the Blood, starts inside the bone and works out towards the cortex. SEEN MOST COMMONLY IN THE METAPHYSEAL REGION OF CHILDREN with open plates
• Direct Extension: secondary to trauma or sx, affects periosteum 1st, then cortex and marrow. Proteolytic enzymes destroy Sharpey's fibers
• Contiguous: Spread of infected soft tissue to underlying bone
• Vascular Insufficiency--> PVD
