Abstract
Introduction: Subtalar osteoarthritis in the context of flatfoot (recently renamed Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD)) may be treated through subtalar joint (SJ) arthrodesis with anticipated consequences on three-dimensional bony configuration. This study investigates the correction of PCFD-related deformities achieved after Anterolateral Arthroscopic Subtalar Arthrodesis (ALAPSTA).
Methods: In this retrospective study, we evaluated pre- and post-operative (at 6 months) weight bearing computed tomography (WBCT) images of patients diagnosed with PCFD with a degenerated SJ (2 A according to PCFD classification) and/or peritalar subluxation (2D) with or without associated flexible midfoot and/or forefoot deformities (1B, 1 C and 1E) which underwent ALAPSTA as a standalone procedure between 2017 and 2020. Multiple measurements were used to assess and compare pre and post-operative PCFD classes.
Results: Thirtythree PCFD (33 patients, median age 62) were included in the study. Preoperative medial facet subluxation was 28.3 % (IQR, 15.1 to 49.3 %). Overall PCFD 3D deformity improved with a reduction of the foot and ankle offset from 9.3 points (IQR, 7.8 to 12) to 4 (IQR, 0.9 to 7) (p < 0.001). Class A-hindfoot valgus (median tibiocalcaneal angle and median calcaneal moment arm improved by 9.4 degrees (p < 0.001) and 11 mm (p < 0.001), respectively), class B-midfoot abduction (median talonavicular coverage angle improved by 20.5 degrees, p < 0.001) and class C-forefoot varus (median sagittal talo-first metatarsal angle improved by 10.2 degrees (p < 0.001)) were significantly corrected after surgery. Class D was difficult to assess due to the fusion procedure. No patient had a pre-operative valgus deformity at the ankle (no class E), and no significant change of the talar tilt was observed (p = 0.12).
Conclusion: In this series, ALAPSTA performed as a standalone procedure to treat patients diagnosed with PCFD with a degenerated subtalar joint and/or peritalar subluxation was effective not only at correcting hindfoot alignment but also flexible midfoot abduction and flexible forefoot varus.
期刊介绍：
Foot and Ankle Surgery is essential reading for everyone interested in the foot and ankle and its disorders. The approach is broad and includes all aspects of the subject from basic science to clinical management. Problems of both children and adults are included, as is trauma and chronic disease. Foot and Ankle Surgery is the official journal of European Foot and Ankle Society.
The aims of this journal are to promote the art and science of ankle and foot surgery, to publish peer-reviewed research articles, to provide regular reviews by acknowledged experts on common problems, and to provide a forum for discussion with letters to the Editors. Reviews of books are also published. Papers are invited for possible publication in Foot and Ankle Surgery on the understanding that the material has not been published elsewhere or accepted for publication in another journal and does not infringe prior copyright.
