This issue of Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, guest edited by Drs. Edgardo R. Rodriguez-Collazo and Suhail Masadeh, is Part II of the Editors two-part issue on Orthoplastic techniques for lower extremity reconstruction. This issue, selected annually by our Consulting Editor, Dr. Thomas Chang, is one of four chosen for our series. The articles in this issue cover various topics, including but not limited to:

The Role of Bone Marrow Aspirate in Osseous and Soft Tissue Pathology: This article explores the significance of bone marrow aspirate in diagnosing and understanding osseous and soft tissue pathology. It discusses the various applications of bone marrow aspirate in diagnosing conditions such as tumors, infections, and autoimmune disorders.

Reconstructive Pedal Amputation: This article discusses the surgical procedure of reconstructive pedal amputation, which is used to restore mobility and function to patients with lower extremity amputations. It outlines the surgical techniques, rehabilitation, and outcomes associated with this procedure.

A Surgical Approach to Location Specific Neuropathic Foot Ulceration: This article discusses a surgical approach to treating neuropathic foot ulcers, which are caused by nerve damage. It highlights the importance of proper diagnosis, surgical planning, and rehabilitation to achieve optimal patient outcomes.

A Novel Technique of External Fixation For Immediate Post-Operative Ambulation And Protection Of Soft Tissue Reconstructions: This article describes a novel technique of external fixation for immediate post-operative ambulation and protection of soft tissue reconstructions. It discusses the advantages of this technique over traditional methods and its potential applications in various surgical settings.

Classification and Management of Stump Neuroma: This article provides an overview of stump neuroma, a condition that occurs after amputation. It discusses the classification, symptoms, and management strategies for stump neuroma, including surgical intervention, medication, and physical therapy.

Treatment Protocol for Peripheral Nerve Dysfunction of the Lower Extremity: A Systematic Approach: This article discusses a systematic approach to treating peripheral nerve dysfunction of the lower extremity. It outlines the diagnostic criteria, treatment options, and outcomes associated with peripheral nerve disorders.

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for the Management of Drop Foot: This article explores the use of targeted muscle reinnervation in the management of drop foot, a condition characterized by weakness or paralysis of the foot muscles. It discusses the surgical techniques, rehabilitation, and outcomes associated with this procedure.

Membrane Induced Technique for the Management of Combine Soft Tissue and Osseous Defects: This article describes a membrane-induced technique for the management of combine soft tissue and osseous defects. It discusses the advantages of this technique over traditional methods and its potential applications in various surgical settings.

Management of Osseous Defects in the Tibia: This article discusses the management of osseous defects in the tibia, which can occur due to trauma, infection, or tumor. It outlines the surgical techniques, rehabilitation, and outcomes associated with osseous defect repair.

Vascularized Fibula Free and Fibular Medialization for the Management of Bone Defects: This article discusses the use of vascularized fibula free and fibular medialization for the management of bone defects. It discusses the advantages of these techniques over traditional methods and their potential applications in various surgical settings.

In conclusion, this issue of Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery provides a comprehensive overview of Orthoplastic techniques for lower extremity reconstruction. The articles featured in this issue cover a range of topics, from bone marrow aspirate to reconstructive pedal amputation, and offer valuable insights into the latest advancements in podiatric surgery.
