Video Summary
The presentation at the event involved a series of discussions and insights on the management of foot and ankle conditions, focusing on innovations such as conservative treatments, exercise therapies, and regenerative medicine techniques. The panel included Dr. Benjamin Washburn, Dr. Ross Malek, Dr. Christina Carrico, and Dr. Adam Tenforty, each specializing in different aspects of sports and physical medicine.<br /><br />Dr. Washburn kicked off the session discussing common foot and ankle injuries, the importance of physical exams, and the validated auto-ankle rules to determine when x-rays are necessary. He emphasized early diagnostics and differentiating between common and less common pathologies with conservative management approaches.<br /><br />Dr. Malek elaborated on rehabilitation strategies for conditions like ankle sprains and Achilles tendinopathy, emphasizing early mobilization and holistic strengthening exercises that integrate lower extremity stabilization to aid recovery.<br /><br />Dr. Carrico focused on regenerative medicine techniques, primarily shockwave therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for various foot and ankle conditions. She explained mechanisms, benefits, and application nuances, highlighting their efficacy in conditions like plantar fasciopathy and Achilles tendinopathy.<br /><br />The session concluded with interactive discussions, addressing specific queries about these treatments, such as the role of neovascularization in pathologic tendinopathy and innovative approaches like hydro dissection to manage it. Overall, the forum provided comprehensive insights into current and emerging treatment modalities enhancing foot and ankle injury management.
