Ultrasound evaluation of adult‐acquired flatfoot deformity: Emphasis on the involvement of spring ligament

Abstract: Adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD), a condition commonly caused by tibialis posterior tendon (TPT) dysfunction, has recently been recognised to encompass a spectrum of other deformities, including the disruption of the spring ligament complex. This case series reviews eight examples of chronic AAFD, outlines the sonographic assessment of the TPT and spring ligament and depicts various abnormalities of the TPT and spring ligament that are relevant to AAFD. The importance to always include the spring ligam… Show more

“…Gerstner and colleagues (2020) discovered that correcting the ligamentum spring and posterior tibialis muscle resulted in a considerable improvement in pes planus. According to Sirlyn (2017), the occurrence of pes planus in adulthood is often linked to posterior tibial tendon failure. Balen and Helms (2001) discovered that an MRI sprain ligament spring was present in 92 percent of cases of posterior tibial tendon impairment.…”
