Social determinants of health don't just influence overall health—they can directly affect foot and ankle outcomes, treatment adherence, and access to care.

This new article highlights findings from SDOH screening in podiatry patients, revealing that virtual care challenges and social isolation were among the most commonly identified concerns. The findings reinforce why screening for social needs may be an important part of comprehensive podiatric care.

Minimally invasive surgery continues to reshape foot and ankle care—but where does it fit in the treatment of Haglund's deformity?

In this new article, the authors explore minimally invasive surgical approaches, including patient selection, technical considerations, and how these techniques compare with more traditional procedures. As MIS options continue to evolve, understanding both the opportunities and limitations is becoming increasingly important for foot and ankle surgeons.

Why does plantar fasciitis seem to be everywhere during the summer?

New research suggests it may not just be your imagination.
A recent analysis of Google Trends data found that public interest in plantar fasciitis has increased steadily over the past two decades, with online searches consistently peaking during the summer months. The findings offer an interesting glimpse into when patients may be most likely to seek information—and potentially care—for heel pain.

For podiatrists, this seasonal pattern may present an opportunity to proactively educate patients, reinforce evidence-based treatment strategies, and anticipate increased demand during warmer months.

As digital technology continues to reshape podiatric practice, could custom orthotic production be moving closer to the point of care?

In this new clinician commentary, Bryan Kentner, DPM, explores how advances in 3D scanning, CAD software, and additive manufacturing are making in-office digital orthotic production an increasingly realistic option. He also examines the potential benefits, challenges, and why many practices may ultimately adopt a hybrid model that blends digital workflows with centralized fabrication.

Is limb salvage becoming the new standard in community podiatry?

Advanced limb preservation is no longer limited to large academic medical centers. As technology evolves and multidisciplinary care becomes more accessible, community-based podiatrists are playing an increasingly important role in helping patients avoid major amputations.
In this episode of the Podiatry Today Podcast, we explore with Timothy Miller, DPM, how the landscape of limb salvage is changing, what it takes to build successful collaborative care pathways, and the opportunities—and challenges—facing clinicians in everyday practice.

Whether limb salvage is already a major focus of your practice or an area you'd like to expand, this conversation offers practical insights you can apply.

How are physician services actually valued—and why does it matter to your practice?

Whether you're negotiating an employment contract, reviewing productivity metrics, or trying to better understand Medicare reimbursement, Relative Value Units (RVUs) play a central role in today's healthcare landscape. Yet many clinicians receive little formal education on how they work.

This practical overview breaks down:
✔️ What RVUs are
✔️ How they're calculated
✔️ Why they influence reimbursement, compensation, and practice management
✔️ What every podiatrist should know

Understanding RVUs isn't just about billing—it's about understanding the business side of medicine.

Does your practice setting really determine your malpractice risk?

Many clinicians assume that working in a hospital, private practice, or ambulatory surgery center dramatically changes their liability exposure.
According to David M. Schweibish, DPM, MBA, the answer is more nuanced.

In the latest Podiatry Today Podcast, presented in partnership with the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), he explains that while every practice environment has unique challenges, malpractice claims often come down to the same core issues: clinical decision-making, communication, informed consent, and—most importantly—documentation.

Should we really be taking an "ex-fix holiday" in Charcot reconstruction?

In this thought-provoking commentary, Sharon Dei-Tumi, DPM, MPH, Claudia Barajas, DPM, and Michael H. Theodoulou, DPM, FACFAS examine the rationale behind the so-called "ex-fix holiday"—a planned interval between external fixation removal and definitive internal fixation—and ask whether this trauma-derived concept truly belongs in Charcot reconstruction.

As reconstructive strategies continue to evolve, thoughtful discussion—and stronger evidence—will help shape best practices for limb salvage.
