He explains how equinus has been shown to cause increased plantar peak pressures, and how reducing this pressure may help ulcers heal. Dr. Kim then offers evidence challenging the role Tendo-achilles lengthening may play in treating these patients. Finally, he explains his research on shearing forces and its etiological affect in plantar ulcerations.
