“…The properties (Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio) of the bone, soft tissue, and cartilage were assigned in accordance with published data (10,11). However, some of the ligament properties in stage II PCFD, including the spring, deltoid, short plantar and long plantar ligaments, and plantar fascia, were not similar to those in the normal foot.…”

Background: This study analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of different procedures for stage IIA progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) through three-dimensional finite element models. Methods: Medial column fusion (MCF), medializing calcaneal osteotomy (MCO), lateral column lengthening (LCL), and subtalar joint arthroereisis (SJA) operations were simulated. The maximum pressure on plantar soft tissue, medial column bone, and medial ligaments was compared before and after simulated single-foot weight loading. Results: The maximum plantar stress of PCFD decreased with MCO and SJA but increased with MCF and LCL. MCF and LCL failed to significantly reduce the stress on the medial column fragments, thereby increasing their stress. Both MCO and SJA relieved medial plantar stress. MCF had no significant effect on stress relief of the medial ligament. MCO, LCL, and SJA were all shown to reduce the pressure on the medial plantar ligament, with LCL having the most obvious effect. All four procedures corrected the arch deformity; however, MCF was not as effective as the other methods. SJA is the best method for restoring arch height and correcting arch deformities. For stage IIA PCFD, isolated MCF failed to reduce pressure on the medial column; however, isolated MCO significantly reduced the pressure on the medial plantar and ligamentous soft tissues while restoring the foot’s arch and correcting the hindfoot valgus. Conclusion:SJA with type II sinus tarsi implant effectively transferred pressure from the medial plantar tract to the lateral side and restored the arch. Isolated LCL was not found suitable for stage IIA PCFD.

Background This study analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of different procedures for stage IIA progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) through three-dimensional finite element models. Methods A previous validated stage IIA PCFD FEA model was established consisting of 16 bones, 56 ligaments, 5 muscles and soft tissues. The ligament properties of the spring, deltoid, short plantar and long plantar ligaments, and plantar fascia were attenuated according to a previous publication. Medial column fusion (MCF), medializing calcaneal osteotomy (MCO), lateral column lengthening (LCL), and subtalar joint arthroereisis (SJA) operations were simulated in this model. The indexes of plantar stress distribution, maximum von Mises of the medial and lateral columns, strain of the medial ligaments and plantar fascia that supported the medial longitudinal arch, arch height, talo-first metatarsal angle, calcaneus pitch angle, and talonavicular coverage angle were all compared before and after simulated single-foot weight loading. Results The maximum plantar stress of PCFD decreased with MCO and SJA but increased with MCF and LCL. MCF and LCL failed to significantly reduce the stress on the medial column fragments, thereby increasing their stress. Both MCO and SJA relieved medial plantar stress. MCF had no significant effect on stress relief of the medial ligament. MCO, LCL, and SJA were all shown to reduce the pressure on the medial plantar ligament, with LCL having the most obvious effect. All four procedures corrected the arch deformity; however, MCF was not as effective as the other methods. SJA is the best method for restoring arch height and correcting arch deformities. For stage IIA PCFD, isolated MCF failed to reduce pressure on the medial column; however, isolated MCO significantly reduced the pressure on the medial plantar and ligamentous soft tissues while restoring the foot’s arch and correcting the hindfoot valgus. Conclusion SJA with type II sinus tarsi implant effectively transferred pressure from the medial plantar tract to the lateral side and restored the arch. Isolated LCL was not found suitable for stage IIA PCFD.

“…All tissue were set as linearly elastic, homogeneous and isotropic except soft tissue and plantar fascia. Meanwhile, Guo et al [18] assigned the bony structures cartilaginous as four-node tetrahedral elements type. The soft tissue and plantar fascia were set to 8-node hexahedron elements type and ligaments were defined as tension truss element type.…”

Abstract-Plantar fascia plays a major role as superficial to the muscle of the plantar surface of the foot and the most important arch stabilizing structure. Excessive stress and strain on plantar fascia may result in local inflammatory response that could cause plantar fasciitis. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to review recent studies that focuses on the assessment to investigate the mechanical stress and strain of plantar fascia that could lead to plantar fasciitis. This review also highlights both experimental and computational analysis for enhance understanding of plantar fascia response under daily activities load.

Biomechanical analysis of suture locations of the distal plantar fascia in partial foot

Abstract: The fourth and fifth DPF suture at the third metatarsal and cuboid was appropriate for the partial foot. The findings are expected to suggest optimal surgical plan of the DPF suture and guide further therapeutic planning of partial foot patients.
