IPK – Intractable Plantar Keratosis – Is It a Dermatologic Problem or an Orthopedic One?

 

Plantar keratosis, thickening of the skin under the balls of the foot, is a common finding.  In most cases this is a-symptomatic and does not cause pain. In some people this finding is associated with pain. What is the reason for this difference?

When are we talking about a dermatologic problem? How can we tell the difference from verruca vulgaris ? Should the treatment address the epidermis only?

When are we talking about an orthopedic problem? When is surgery needed ? when boy correction s advised? When a forefoot reconstruction is the complete solution.
