Intermediate term follow-up of calcaneal osteotomy and flexor digitorum longus transfer for treatment of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction.

摘要: Twenty-three patients with stage II posterior tibial tendon dysfunction who had failed non-surgical therapy were treated flexor digitorum longus transfer and calcaneal osteotomy. At latest follow-up averaging 35±7 months (range, 24 to 51 months), 22 (96%) subjectively “better” or “much better.” No patient difficulty shoe wear; however, four (17%) required routine orthotic use consisting of a molded insert. AOFAS scores available on 21 improved from preoperative mean 50±14 27 85) postoperative 89±10 70 100). Our experience, at an intermediate date is that osteotomy safe effective form treatment for dysfunction.
