All podiatric physicians and medical professionals should be familiar with signs and treatment of local anesthetic toxicity. However, upon review of several journals, we found it to be concerning that there was no literature regarding the resuscitation from local anesthetic systemic toxicity. On a daily basis, podiatric surgeons and physicians administer local anesthetic and should be aware of the checklists and steps to resuscitate a patient who may have toxicity.

Concerns have been raised in recent years about children playing dodgeball while at the same time the sport has become increasingly popular among adults. The objective of this study was to describe dodgeball-related injuries of the lower extremity. After increasing during 2001-2006, the annual estimated number of lower extremity injuries remained relatively stable until 2020.

The Foot Function Index Revised Short version (FFI-RS) is a foot- and ankle- patient-reported outcome measure (PROM), developed from the Foot Function Index (FFI). Previous studies, estimating item parameters and multidimensional properties, have limitations properly establishing the measurement properties of the FFI-RS.

Resection of tarsal coalitions provides good patient satisfaction scores, reduced pain, and improved long-term function in both athletic and non-athletic populations. This study aimed to determine when athletic patients undergoing resection of a tarsal coalition were able to return to their desired activity, and whether they experienced a decreased desired activity level (DDA).
