Adult acquired flatfoot deformity is now more appropriately termed progressive collapsing
foot deformity (PCFD) and is a complex process that results from successive compromise of …

Abstract Traditionally tibialis Posterior Insufficiency is still considered the commonest cause
of acquired adult flat foot. This is still considered as the primary cause and has influenced …

Background Surgical treatment of adult acquired flatfoot deformity can involve arthrodesis of
the midfoot to stabilize the medial column. Few experimental studies have assessed the …

In this retrospective study, a series of 10 elective patients treated with transfer of the tibialis
posterior (TP) tendon for pes cavus and drop foot are described. Since TP transfer …

Background: Idiopathic flatfeet are usually caused by attenuation of the medial soft tissues
rather than a lateral osseous deficiency. Debate continues on whether spring ligament …

Introduction First ray instability (FRI) arising from failed plantar/interosseous ligaments is
strongly associated with planovalgus, leading to synovitis and deformity. Our hypothesis is …

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the biomechanical properties of the
InternalBrace for lisfranc injuries. Methods A Sawbone model was developed comparing …

Background Debate exists whether adult acquired flatfoot deformity develops secondary to
tibialis posterior (TibPost) tendon insufficiency, failure of the ligamentous structures, or a …

Background The main aim of this study was to ultrasonographically analyse the thickness
and the relationship between the Superomedial Bundle of the Spring Ligament and the …

Patients with pes planovalgus deformity often have coexisting spring ligament pathology. A
primary repair of the ligament may fail during weightbearing due to chronic degeneration of …
