Lower Hudson/Bronx 05-841 REETINGS, AND WELCOME to the latest issue of MD News Lower Hudson/Bronx, the industry magazine about, from and for physicians. In this issue, we analyze some ongoing challenges and celebrate some recent successes in medicine. On the cover, you'll find Neal M. Blitz, DPM, FACFAS, the pioneering surgeon who developed the Bunionplasty procedure and a patented implant that's earned him the moniker "Bunion King of New York." The novel procedure allows patients to walk immediately after bunion surgery, without the need for cast or crutches. Dr. Blitz has also been able to improve the aesthetic results for bunions of all sizes and over the past 15 years has performed approximately 15,000 foot and ankle surgical procedures. Our national feature looks into research confirming that participants in clinical trials are often healthier than the broad spectrum of patients investigational drugs are intended to help. The findings underscore the need for greater enrollment in clinical trials. MD News is the ideal platform for medical provid- ers to ensure that referring physicians in the region know of their expertise, leading-edge equipment and advanced treatments.
