Review Question - QID 2927

In scope icon L 2 A
QID 2927 (Type "2927" in App Search)
A 56-year-old woman comes to your office with foot pain after a 9 month trial of orthotics. Your examination reveals the hindfoot is in valgus, the arch is depressed, and the forefoot is abducted when the foot is viewed posteriorly. She is unable to perform a single heel rise on the affected side. The hindfoot is flexible and there is an equinus contracture. What combination of surgical interventions is most appropriate

This patient presents with a Stage 2B acquired flatfoot deformity. The review articles by Myerson and Pinney discuss the classification and management of adult acquired flatfoot deformity. Stage 1 presents with medial ankle pain due to posterior tibial tendon synovitis. Stage 2 presents with a hindfoot in valgus and inability to perform a single limb heel rise. Stage 2A has a normal forefoot whereas Stage 2B has an abducted forefoot, exposing “too many toes” when the foot is viewed posteriorly. Stage 3 occurs over time as the hindfoot becomes rigid in a valgus position and Stage 4 develops as the deltoid ligament becomes incompetent and the talus tilts into valgus.

Incorrect Answers:
1: Tenosynovectomy can be used in Stage 1 disease that fails conservative management.
2: This is used as a treatment for cavovarus feet.
4: This option is a treatment option for Stage 3 disease.
5: This is not an option as a lateral displacement calcaneal osteotomy would exacerbate the patient's hindfoot valgus.
