Fulkersons Osteotomy Knee Surgery

(5 discussions)

5 Comments

“Fulkersons Osteotomy Knee Surgery”, or anterior mobilization of the tibial tubercle knee surgery, there are many other names for this. I just had this done on my left knee on Thursday 8/30. I am a 32 year old female with a 20 year history of “knee problems”. I have had 3 surgeries on my right and now 2 on my left. I had a lateral release on May 8th that just didn’t “work”, as I dislocated 2x since that date. Thus the more aggressive surgery.Anyone out there with advice??

Two questions, my fingers have become lumps and bumps, with arthritis, what is a good excercise for them, and what can help the lumps …My Mother in law has suffered for years with her legs, aching, and now she 85 any idea of what type of specialist she’d see, as her D.r seem to think she’s imaging things… which she is not, she’s been on percocet for years now and addicted to it.. she can’t seem to get any answers.. Thanks Jackie

Hi-During the past few days, I have had a tingling sensation in my right toes and in a small area just to the left of my right shoulder blade. Is this possibly a pinched nerve? There is no pain, just tingling. Thanks!

Podiatry & Foot Questions

On one of my heels, there’s a crack in the skin that won’t go away. It’s sometimes very painful, and is hard to walk on. I have tried various things to get rid of it, from butterfly bandages, to sleeping with lotion and socks on. The pain will go away for a week or to max, but always comes back. You can always see the crack though. Any suggestions how to get rid of the nasty thing?

Podiatry & Foot Questions

I am 58 year old male with severe joint pain in my left great toe (6+ years).
I have been researching the surgical options since all else has failed.
My question is would amputation of the toe result in larger problems (balance, pain, etc) than joint replacement or other corrective surgery?

Therapy includes-Stretching,ice,massage,Vioxx prescripion daily, gel heel cups for my shoes, electric stim and some Cybex PT equipment where I point and flex at various speeds.

Podiatry & Foot Questions

I have been treated by a neuroligist for 1 year now, and still my left foot has extreme pain in the metarsal area.
I have had MRI, x-rays and blood work, but we seem to be getting no where on relief.
I was referred to a university for eval, but they referred to it as small nerve damage that would not get any worse.
Sense then, the pain has increased tremendousely.
Pain is BURNING sensation, and sharp when stepped on certain ways.
Big toe is not involved, and I also am unable to spread my toes apart.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, I have a 2 yr old, and it is hard to keep up! The pain is unbearable somedays.
Thank you Karen
