2) Grade 2 Tibialis posterior dysfunction

3) Pes Cavus in CMT, just examination and discussed Tx

4) Posterolateral corner and PCL injury, now tricomp OA knee in 40 yr old. XR discussion and Tx options.

Upper Limb

1) Fascioscapulo humeral dystrophy. Treatment options for Winging. Gledhill fusion. Upper limb neuro exam

2) Sternoclavicular TB. Examination of head andneck

3) Psoriatic arthritis in hands. Triggering ofsmall finger. Causes and pathophysiology of trigger fingering.
