    I performed a pedobarographic study in patients who were 2 - 6 weeks following bunion surgery comparing a flat post op shoe with an orthowedge from Darco and a heelwalking shoe of our on design. Both the Darco and our heel walker shoe showed significant decrease in peak pressure, maximum force and force time and pressure time integrals compared to the flat shoe in the forefoot areas. Patients also preferred a high cut design that strapped around the anke to a low cut shoe. There is no doubt that post op shoes that prevent weight bearing through the forefoot such as a Darco or Stockholm shoe protect forefoot surgery. I can forward the powerpoint if anyone is interested as I have not published this study.

    For anyone who wishes to download the study (it is too big to e mail) use the following links. Make sure the video file is in the same folder as the powerpoint otherwise it won' run. Please excuse the self indulgence of pictures of me with an ex Miss Universe in the presentation but opportunities like that don't come everyday.
