Michael S. Nirenberg, DPM
In patients with diabetes, gout should never be viewed as an isolated joint problem. This article argues that concurrent gout and diabetes signal a broader state of insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, and kidney dysfunction—while also...

Arthur Evensen, DPM, CWSP; Jamie Moore, AGNP
A rare accessory ossicle, the os cuboideum secundarium, is typically an incidental finding—but in high-risk feet, it can become clinically significant. This case highlights how an unrecognized plantar-lateral bony prominence contributed to...
