Proximately, this page exists to hold the references and figures from our poster for the American Podiatric Medical Association 2021 Annual Scientific Meeting (“The National”), as well as a copy of the poster itself. In the long run whatever papers come out of this stream of research may be posted here as well, or at least linked here if they get their own pages.

Below you will find a PDF of the poster, as well as references, acknowledgements, figures, and more.
