Our feature article this month is a detailed review of foot and ankle injuries. Google® trend shows that most Google® queries of the foot are done in June but that ankle queries peak in October. The OFP editors pay attention to the season when we consider relevance of articles, so on this one we split the difference between June and October and published in July/August. The article is well written and a good review with illustrations, worthy of your time.
Other articles this month are constipation and dysuria, both common in osteopathic family medicine. Drugs are a common cause of constipation and the present attention to opioids should not be missed in this connection as well. Dysuria, while commonly due to infection, has other causes (some serious).
OFP is continuing with our decision to run two Clinical Images. This month the items are on the theme of “name that tune” so the reader is left to read each for a diagnosis. They are short and sweet, a quick reminder of what we see every day.
So as the summer continues with days in flip-flops and sandals, take care of those feet, as ankle season is approaching.
