Best wishes for 2009. The first holiday injury came this week. Another sesamoid fracture . A 38 year old male patient returned to the practice for follow up to a visit in December, due to have impressions made for new orthotics.

Sore feet or sunburn could ruin your holiday. Whether you are going to the coast, mountains or bush, you need to pay special attention to protecting your feet this summer.
The case of the sesamoid fracture that I referred to the other day, has had an interesting development. You will have read that we ended up using an Aircast below knee walker. Unfortunately this was only successful for about one day. By the end of the day the pain was increasing.
