A fracture of certain parts of the fifth metatarsal, such as the midshaft of the bone or at the base of the bone, can be treated without surgery in a boot or wide shoe.

Younger athletes often break this bone at the junction between the base and midshaft, where the blood supply is tenuous. A fracture in this location is often called a Jones fracture. This area has a high rate of nonunion if the fracture is treated without surgery in a running or jumping athlete. The surgeon usually places a screw down the center of the bone to compress the fracture and get it to heal.

The OrthoIllustrated® animation for PRIF 5th MTS fracture is an educational tool to help patients better understand the diagnosis and treatment of this orthopedic condition.

Mosquito season: How to identify symptoms of West Nile virus | Just The FAQs

disease No Comments »

West Nile virus is the leading cause of mosquito-borne diseases in the U.S., with the highest concentration in the Midwest. Here’s how to tell if you’re infected.

Most people infected with the virus suffer few, if any symptoms. But some develop high fevers and deadly brain swelling. The disease spiked here last year, killing nine Iowans and seriously sickening another 95. That was the highest death toll since the virus first appeared in Iowa in 2001. In 2017, Iowa saw just 12 cases, including two deaths.

The disease tends to increase in late summer and early fall, when the type of mosquito that carries the virus is most prevalent.

Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common viral infection that affects mostly infants and young children. Infection is characterized by a rash on the hands and feet, and painful blisters inside the mouth. Outbreaks typically occur in daycare setting, during summer and early fall.
Most cases are caused by coxsackievirus A, serotype 16, but other enteroviruses can also be the cause. Notably, enterovirus 71, EV-71, is responsible for a more severe form of the disease. The viruses are non-enveloped, and contain a single plus-strand RNA.
An infected person may shed virus in respiratory droplets, oral and nasal secretions, blister fluid, and stool. The disease can spread through direct or indirect contacts with the infected. Patients are most contagious during the first week of illness, but can remain infectious for several weeks, even without symptoms.
After being inhaled or ingested, the virus replicates in the throat, tonsils, and lymphoid tissue of the small intestine. From there, it spreads to regional lymph nodes, and then further to various organs including the skin, heart, liver, and central nervous system.
Incubation period is 3 to 6 days. Infection typically starts with a low-grade fever and flu-like symptoms. Painful mouth sores appear a couple of days after the onset of fever, most often in the back of the throat. Skin rash commonly occurs on the hands, soles of the feet, and around the mouth, but can be anywhere on the body. The rash can be flat, raised or vesicular. Skin lesions are typically not itchy or painful.
Rarely, complications involving the central nervous system such as aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, or polio-like paralysis, may occur, especially with enterovirus 71, which has a significantly higher mortality rate.
Diagnosis is usually made based on symptoms. Antibody or PCR tests may be used to differentiate between coxsackievirus and enterovirus 71.
Hand, foot and mouth disease is usually mild and resolves on its own within 7 to 10 days. Treatment is supportive and includes pain and fever reducers, hydration, oral hygiene and a soft diet. Antiviral drugs may be used to treat infections by EV-71.

Is Kybella Painful?

pain No Comments »

Dr Maas talks about the discomfort level with patients and recovery downtime of the new fat dissolving drug for necks, Kybella.

For more information on Kybella, visit – http://www.maasclinic.com/cosmetic-injections-san-francisco/kybella/
Video Rating: / 5

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr Paul Pearce in Austin Texas discusses why he stopped injecting Kybella for non-surgical double chin treatments. While it’s meant to save you a surgery with a few injections of kybella, it could be leading you on a detour from the results you really want to have and could easily obtain with chin liposuction.
