In this episode of The PODdoctors podcast, Dr. Damien Dauphinee, a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon, and Dr. Raafae Hussain, a fellowship-trained foot and ankle surgeon, discuss the excision of a lipoma, a benign fatty nodule that can cause pain in the foot and ankle. They explain that lipomas are commonly found in the subcutaneous layer of the foot and ankle, and while they are usually benign, they can become painful. The doctors emphasize the importance of clinical diagnosis, as an MRI may not show whether the lipoma is causing pain. They also mention that lipomas are often misdiagnosed as underlying ankle sprains. The surgical procedure involves making an oblique incision along the relaxed skin tension lines, carefully dissecting the lipoma, and removing it as a solid piece. The doctors highlight the need to identify and protect the lateral branch of the superficial peroneal nerve during the procedure.
