Supramalleolar Lateral Opening-Wedge Osteotomy in Conjunction With Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity Reconstruction for PCFD With Ankle Instability
Abstract:Background: Reconstruction of progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) with ankle instability (PCFD class E) remains a substantial challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. We report the outcomes of PCFD class E treated by means of a relatively standard PCFD foot reconstruction approach with the addition of a supramalleolar lateral opening-wedge osteotomy. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 13 patients (15 ankles) who underwent this procedure for PCFD class E between 2010 and 2021. Mean follow-up time… Show more
