  • Metatarsus adductus presents at birth with adduction of the metatarsals at the Lisfranc joint. The forefoot is medially deviated to the hindfoot, and thus appears as a concavity along the medial border of the foot and convexity on the lateral aspect. Most patients just notice the bunion deformity that they have but upon taking the XRAY, the medial deviation of the 2nd and 3rd metatarsals is obvious. To make the patient pain free , avoid revisional surgeries in the future and fix the deformity correctly, it is indicated to shift back all the metatarsals to their anatomical place and then fix the bunion rather than only fixing the bunion. 
In this case, Dr Didari, conducted  fusion of first, second and third tarsometatarsal joints after cutting the cuneiforms in a manner to make the first, second and third IM angles 0.

  • Ingrown nails happen when your nail grows into your skin instead of over it. Ingrown nail can have major complications including: 
•Bone Infection 
•Foot Ulcers 
•Gangrene(decaying tissue). This is rare. 
• Losing a limb
Let the doctor know if: 
You have signs of infections, like severe pain or pus.
The pain doesn’t go away after you treat the nail. 
You have diabetes, which raises your risk of complications from foot infections.

  • Hallux varus is a condition where the great toe moves to the medial side of the first metatarsal head. It is usually caused by surgical overcorrection of a bunion, but can also be caused by trauma, or by neurological or inflammatory joint diseases. The main complaint in these patients, other than the clinical appearance, is difficulty fitting into shoes. Taping or splinting the toe may be helpful if the deformity is flexible, but the most definitive treatment is surgical management. If the deformity is rigid or semirigid and joint degeneration has been initiated, the most effective and predictable treatment is first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis.  In this case, the patient had her bunion overcorrected by another surgeon and now corrected by Dr. Oconnell.

  • As a Southern California native, Dr. Vidhi Patel graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biological Sciences, minoring in Public Health. During her undergraduate years, she had the opportunity to join medical missions to Africa to bring healthcare to much needed areas.

After volunteering in the emergency and operating rooms at her local hospital for several years, she finally decided to pursue a career in medicine.

While completing her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine Degree at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California, she worked with a variety of medical specialties which allowed her to approach medicine and health care from a global perspective. Her interdisciplinary medical education allowed her to treat patients as a whole.

Dr. Patel was accepted as a podiatric surgical resident at the HCA Houston Healthcare West Hospital in Houston, Texas. During her 3-year residency she trained in over two dozen hospitals, surgery centers and clinics performing surgery, managing inpatients, and treating outpatients. Her experience and training allowed her to hone her skills as a foot and ankle specialist and surgeon.

She now lives in Southern California and practices podiatric medicine and surgery at Empire Foot and Ankle Center. There, she provides comprehensive conservative and surgical care for a wide array of conditions that affect people from all walks of life.

In her spare time, she is an avid traveler, a movie lover and absolutely adores dogs!
