【 摘 要 】

Category:HindfootIntroduction/Purpose:Lateral column lengthening (LCL) is a common procedure for reconstruction of stage II flexible adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD). The recent development of porous titanium wedges for this procedure provides an alternative to allograft and autograft. The purpose of this study was to report radiographic and clinical outcomes achieved with porous titanium wedges in LCL.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 34 feet in 30 patients with AAFD that received porous titanium wedges for LCL from January 2011 – October 2014. Deformity correction was assessed using both radiographic and clinical parameters. Radiographic correction was assessed using the lateral talo-first metatarsal angle, the talonavicular uncoverage percentage, and the first metatarsocuneiform height. The hindfoot valgus angle was also obtained.Results:Patients were followed from a minimum of six months up to 48 months (mean 16.1 months). Patients underwent concomitant procedures including medial displaceme...
