KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONThe State of Podiatry: Where Are We Now, and Where Are We Advancing?Now more than ever, podiatrists have become an integral part of the medical community. Today’s podiatrists engage with patients on a wide spectrum of care, ranging from dermatologic issues, wound care management and trauma and reconstruction to life-saving limb salvage, diabetic foot care, and every day foot issues that affect the quality of patients’ lives. Join Drs. Downey, Fitzgerald, Vlahovic, and Wu as they review various is-sues affecting the podiatric field. How does podiatry fit within today’s multidis-ciplinary approach? What are the new and innovative advances in wound care and limb savage? How can you improve the bottom line of your practice? How will President Trump’s approach to health care affect podiatry? Our co-chairs will discuss these questions and much more during the keynote presentation.

8:10 a.m. – 8:15 a.m.Opening Remarks

8:15 a.m. – 8:45 a.m.Podiatric Care in Special Needs PopulationsAll podiatrists deal with patients who have special needs, and have an opportu-nity to either perpetuate that fear and struggle because of a patient’s inability to comply or adhere to instructions, or accommodate the patient and alleviate the anxiety and stress for current and future visits. In this presentation, Dr. Vella will identify common special needs patients who present to podiatric offices and discuss methods of accommodating those patients, and making their visit and treatment as pleasant as humanly possible.

Faculty: JoSePH Vella, DPm

8:45 a.m. – 9:15 a.m.Fungal Resistance, Biofilm and Its Impact In the Management of Nail InfectionDefinitive diagnosis is important as not all dystrophic nails are onychomycotic and not all nail infections are caused by dermatophytes. In this presentation, Dr. Aly will explain why KoH, culture, histopathology and nail condition (dermato-phytomas or biofilms) are important considerations to ensure proper treatment.

Faculty: raza aly, PHD, mPH

9:15 a.m. – 9:45 a.m.Coding for Ulcer DebridementAre you using the proper CPT codes when performing ulcer debridement? In this presentation, Dr. Lehrman will discuss proper coding based on the debridement that was performed. Pearls for diagnosis coding in ulcer care will be covered as well.

10:25 a.m. – 10:55 a.m.Lisfranc Injuries: The Pearls and Perils of Reconstruction

Lisfranc fractures are among the most commonly misdiagnosed lower extremity injuries. This is due, in part, to the relatively wide variety in present-ing symptoms, but it is also a function of a fundamental misunderstanding of the mechanism of action, which precludes clinicians from considering the diagnosis. In this presentation, Dr. Fitzgerald will explain how findings can be extremely subtle, and how the consequences for misdiagnosis and subsequent missed or delayed treatment can be quite severe, and can lead to lasting and significant patient morbidity.

Faculty: ryan FitzGeralD, DPm, FacFaS

10:55 a.m. – 11:55 a.m.Industry-Supported Symposium

11:55 a.m. – 12:55 p.m.Lunch in the Exhibit Hall Complimentary lunch for all attendees.

1:05 p.m. – 1:35 p.m.Issues in Barefoot RunningHumans, unlike most other animals, employ multiple footfall patterns. The dis-cussion on footfall patterns leads to questions regarding a possible advantage in running barefoot like ancient humans. As a result, barefoot running is now in the news and has become a media craze, but there is little or no research on the biomechanics of barefoot running and the possible effects on runners. The main question from a biomechanical viewpoint centers on the alteration of footfall patterns necessary for running barefoot. In this presentation, Dr. Hamill will discuss the concept of altering one’s footfall pattern and the belief that barefoot running and the resultant alteration in footfall contact can both affect performance and reduce the stress on runners, and thus decrease the risk of injury. He will also discuss that there is little to no scientific evidence corrobo-rating these assumptions.

Faculty: JoSePH Hamill, PHD

1:35 p.m. – 2:05 p.m.Who Will Send You Patients? A Survey of Health Professionals’ Perceptions of OnychomycosisIn this presentation, Dr. Vlahovic will focus on the data collected and on how that data can be turned to a podiatrist’s favor. There will also be discussion of what is in the pipeline for onychomycosis so you can communicate this with both patients and medical colleagues.

Faculty: tracey c. VlaHoVic, DPm, FFPm, rcPS (GlaSG)

2:05 p.m. – 2:35 p.m.Limb Salvage: Yale vs. GeorgetownAlthough the term limb salvage is often used, its meaning is misunderstood and misinterpreted. This session will debate the approach of salvaging the limb at all costs versus amputating earlier. The effectiveness of both approaches will be discussed in relation to clinical outcomes as well as the economic implications. In this presentation, Drs. Blume and Kim will make arguments based on the evidence as well as their experience at both academic institutions to defend their positions.

Faculty: Peter a. Blume, DPm, FacFaS; Paul J. kim, DPm, mS

2:35 p.m. – 3:05 p.m.Coffee Break with Your Colleagues in the Exhibit Hall

3:15 p.m. - 3:45 p.m.Practice Management: The Myths of a Malpractice Case — One Surgeon’s ExperienceFor practicing clinicians, the likelihood of being involved in a malpractice suit is almost guaranteed. In Dr. Fitzgerald’s case, when that subpoena found its way to his practice door, he had the opportunity to experience firsthand the process of discovery, deposition, and trial in defense of himself and his practice. In this session, Dr. Fitzgerald will explain how he was able to reduce his malpractice risk moving forward.

Faculty: ryan FitzGeralD, DPm, FacFaS

3:45 p.m. - 4:15 p.m.Plastic Surgery Techniques for Biopsies and ScarsSkin biopsies are important diagnostic tests utilized to guide the medical and surgical management of various dermatological conditions. The surgeon should understand the indications for biopsy and possess a working knowledge of the various biopsy techniques. Scars are the result of injury to the skin, which may result in an unsightly appearance and/or pain, leading to functional limitations. Therefore, it is important to appreciate the types of scars and appropriate treatment modalities.

Faculty: StePHen a. mariaSH, DPm

4:15 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.Plantar Plate Repair: What Really Works and What Does Not?

In this presentation, Drs. Camasta and Downey will discuss the most current approaches for the repair of plantar plate tears and their associated pathology. Both indirect and direct plantar plate repair options will be highlighted along with their pros and cons. Drs. Camasta and Downey will offer their candid opin-ions on today’s latest techniques and offer an algorithm for the logical repair of this challenging condition.

Faculty: craiG camaSta, DPm; micHael Downey, DPm, FacFaS

4:45 p.m. – 5:15 p.m.Diabetic Foot Ulcers (the Good, the Bad, the “Ugly”)Diabetic foot wounds are increasing in frequency in the population as the numbers of patients with diabetes grow each year. In this presentation, Dr. McGuire will discuss that despite advances in offloading, biofilm and infection management, tissue grafting, and new methods for improving circulation in the compromised foot, patients with diabetes find a way to undo all of our therapies and destroy our outcomes data. How can a comprehensive approach to the DFU improve our approach to healing the lower extremity complications of this complicated disease?

Faculty: JameS mcGuire, DPm, Pt, cPeD, FaPwHc
