Hi all,

I've been tasked with writing a piece for the winter edition of a professional quarterly. this one has a theme of osteoarthritis. I've been brainstorming all morning and I've decided to write about making the connection between OA of the 1st MTP jt and the related pathomechanics which can lead to diabetic ulceration.
Just wondering if anyone might like to offer their two cents worth or suggest some 'must read' publications. I don't seem to be using the correct language to generate the literature I am looking for. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Many thanks!

How do you resolve chronic wounds at plantar/medial hallux?
