Etiology of Disease: Kochs Postulates Postulate 1: The disease is found to be excessive in a class of workers. Postulate 2: The etiologic agent (work) must be able to be separated from other agents. Postulate 3: The work exposure should cause disease to a normal person. Hypothenar Hammer Syndrome: Kochs Postulates Postulate 1: Condition is confined to a small well defined group of laborers. Postulate 2: Mechanical stimulus to hand is isolated from other exposures. Postulate 3: No patients reported symptoms prior to starting occupation. Common Foot and Ankle Disorders Hallux Valgus (Bunions) Lesser Toe Deformity (Hammertoes) Interdigital (Mortons) Neuroma Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Heel Pain (Plantar Fasciitis) Flatfoot Deformity Ankle and Foot Arthritis Bunions: Hallux Valgus Enlargement of medial base of great toe Angulation of big toe towards 2nd toe Pain often associated with pressure from shoes Fairly common Bunions: Causes Constrictive shoewear !!! Hereditary Ligamentous laxity Muscle imbalance Inflammatory arthritis Occupational repetitive trauma: Not even a hint in the literature Bunions: My experience Fix about 75-100 bunions per year One W.C. related bunion repair in 10 years (acute trauma) Hammertoes Flexion deformity of the lesser toes at the proximal joint Often associated with a callous or sore spot Most common foot deformity Hammertoes: Causes Constrictive shoewear Neurologic Examples: Nerve or Muscle diseases, Stroke Increasing age Female: Male - about 7:1 Hammertoes: Work related? Study by Lamberinudi, England, 1938: Industrial workers: no higher incidence of toe deformities Study by Hewitt, England, 1954 Study by Hung, Hong Kong, 1985: Lower incidence of toe deformities in heavy laborers Only correlation: elderly women Mortons Neuroma Described by Thomas Morton, 1876 Entrapment of interdigital nerve Nerve enlarges Usually between base of 3rd-4th toes Burning or tingling symptoms Mortons Neuroma -- Causes Compression of nerve by intermetatarsal ligament Medial lateral compression (tight shoes) Pressure on forefoot (high heels) Anatomic variance small space between metatarsal heads or enlarged nerve No evidence of occupational exposure etiology Great majority of patients with neuroma report normal ambulation patterns. {Postulate 1 not satisfied} Bunions/Hammertoes/Neuromas: Caused by Work Shoes? Steel Toed Shoes: Available in all widths, lengths and depths No causation of toe deformities May increase symptoms if deformity present High Fashion Womens Footwear: Clearly associated as a cause of toe deformities Almost always a self inflicted wound Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Compression Neuropathy of the Tibial Nerve in the Tarsal Tunnel Numbness, burning into the heel and arch Not common, poorly understood Best surgical results when a mass present in the tunnel Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: Industrial Cumulative Trauma Forst: Sewing machine operator with Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (unsuccessful release) Lam: no significant common factor concerning occupationexcept jockeys may be at increased risk. No other literature references Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is NOT the lower extremity equivalent of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Heel Pain Most common foot or ankle problem Often due to microtrauma to the origin of the plantar fascia Morning pain, end of day pain in medial heel common Pain may be central or even burning in quality Heel Pain: Causes Obesity: Highest correlation of all causes Middle age Tight heel cords Recent increase in activity High arches/ low arches Running athletes Treatment aimed at cause Heel Pain: Industrial Causes Scant data: most series do not list occupation as a cause, other studies contradictory Gill: Survey, 1996: Patients with heel pain self report jobs with more walking on hard surfaces than patients with other orthopedic complaints Davis: Study: 103 of 105 patients with plantar fasciitis reported sedentary type jobs Adult Acquired Flatfoot Gradual falling of the arch Pain can be medial ankle, arch or even lateral ankle Multiple underlying processes: Posterior Tibial Tendon dysfunction most common Treated with arch supports, braces, or surgery Adult Acquired Flatfoot - Causes Associated with obesity Lifelong flatfeet [increase stresses] Female more common than male Isolated trauma to medial ankle rare Great majority of patients report normal lifelong walking patterns No literature association to occupation Osteoarthritis Arthritis: extensive research, yet poorly understood in terms of cause Foot joints arthritis: in mild forms, fairly common in general population Ankle joint arthritis: surprisingly rare in general population without acute traumatic event Knee arthritis: quite common even without prior specific acute trauma Osteoarthritis Knee Arthritis: Higher incidence in professional athletes (soccer) No higher incidence in recreational runners several studies Higher incidence in obese Higher incidence in miners and dock workers than age-matched controls [Partridge, 1968] Ankle/Foot Arthritis: No current available literature Occupational Cumulative Trauma Does it exist in the Foot/Ankle at all? Probably: Dancers Professional Athletes Military Recruits Cumulative Occupational Trauma: Kochs Postulates Postulate 1: The disorder must be higher in a group of workers as compared to control group. No evidence in any of our common foot and ankle disorders. Heel pain: Very common in industrial workers; Very common in general population. Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: Not common in either group. Cumulative Occupational Trauma: Kochs Postulates Postulate 2: The work exposure must be able to be isolated from other exposures. Unable to isolate work activities, floor quality, or even types of work shoes from everyday living. Only spend 25% of our awake time at work. Everyday foot demands vary little from work demands. ***(Recreational demands often exceed work demands!) Cumulative Occupational Trauma: Kochs Postulates Postulate 3: A normal host is exposed to the work exposure and develops the disease. This would require a prospective cohort study. Scant (at best) retrospective data in literature to support the existence of cumulative industrial foot trauma. Highly unlikely study to be pursued. Foot/Ankle Cumulative Work Trauma Are we not looking hard enough for its existence? Has previous literature simply neglected to look at this subject? Maybe: Heel pain and arthritis as work related disorders seem to make sense. Not disproven. Just cannot be proven at this time. Foot/Ankle Cumulative Work Trauma Absence of proof does not surprise me. Foot evolved for the demands of repetitive stresses. 1500 steps in every walking mile > 100% body weight with every step Very different from the hand Thank You!
