Summary

An intractable plantar keratoma (IPK) is a conical thickening of the epidermis' stratum corneum and a common cause of foot pain which can have a significant, detrimental impact on the mobility, quality of life and independence of individuals. Conservative treatments are currently offered to patients with IPK, but they are unsatisfactory since they do not offer a sufficient or permanent reduction of symptoms. The purpose of this study was the evaluation of the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of innovative treatments for intractable plantar keratoma (IPK)

Conditions

  • Intractable Plantar Keratoma

Interventions

DRUG

Lidocaine injection

2% (20mg/ml) lidocaine solution

DRUG

0.9% sterile sodium chloride water

PROCEDURE

Debridement

A debridement was completed using a scalpel and number 15 blade, a podiatry drill and a spherical podiatry burr.

PROCEDURE

Needle insertion

A 27-gauge needle on a 3 mL syringe was inserted at 10 to 15 degrees with the bevel facing up approaching from the IPK's right side
