Abstract
Background: Flexible flatfoot is a common condition that is characterized by hindfoot valgus with longitudinal medial-arch collapse. Many strategies for treatment have been reported but according to the current literature, controversy remains. Objectives: To compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of medializing calcaneal osteotomy utilizing modified step plate and subtalar arthroereisis utilizing conical subtalar implant for patients with symptomatic flexible pes planus. Methods: A prospective, randomized, double center study was conducted between May 2017 and May 2019 at the Foot and Ankle Department of Cairo University Hospital and El Sahel Teaching Hospital on 26 patients (37 feet) with flexible flat feet to compare between medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy using modified locked step plate (group A) compromising 17 feet and arthroereisis using subtalar implant (group B) compromising 20 feet. Results: By the end period of the study, 25 males and 12 females were available for our analysis of results with a mean follow-up period of 10.14 months (range 7–14 months), clinical scoring (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score, Foot Functional Index) with radiological analysis revealed a non-significant difference between both groups, the overall complication rate was 16.2%. Conclusion: Both medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy and subtalar arthroereisis significantly improved radiographic and subjective clinical outcome measures in the surgical treatment of painful flexible planovalgus feet. The less-invasive nature and lower potential morbidity suggest that judicious use of arthroereisis implants is an appropriate alternative.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have reported the clinical outcomes of fusion surgeries for type II accessory naviculars. Whether the combination of accessory naviculars and asymptomatic flatfoot will result in worse outcomes in accessory navicular surgeries remains to be elucidated. Our study aims to report the clinical outcomes of fusion for type II accessory naviculars and make a subgroup comparison among accessory navicular patients with or without asymptomatic flatfeet. METHODS From May 2017 to June 2021, all painful type II accessory naviculars with or without asymptomatic flatfeet in our inpatient center were reviewed, and those who only underwent fusion surgeries were included in the retrospective study. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot scores, Tegner activity level scores, complications, patient-reported satisfaction, and imaging results (Meary angle in the weightbearing lateral view, talo-first metatarsal angle and talonavicular coverage angle in the weightbearing anteroposterior view) were used to describe outcomes. RESULTS Thirty-two eligible patients responded to the latest follow-up request and were included in this study. The mean follow-up duration was 37.1 ± 16.0 months. The average VAS pain score improved from 4.7 ± 1.8 preoperatively to 0.9 ± 1.2 at the latest follow-up (P<.001). The average AOFAS midfoot score improved from 67.1 ± 8.5 preoperatively to 90.2 ± 10.7 at the latest follow-up (P<.001). The preoperative and postoperative Tegner activity level scores were similar (3.3 ± 1.5 vs 3.5 ± 1.6, P=.136). The overall complication rate was 37.5%. The most common complication was nonunion (31.3%). The overall satisfaction rate was 90.6%. Similar outcomes were observed between the flatfoot and the nonflatfoot subgroups. CONCLUSION Fusion for painful type II accessory naviculars resulted in good symptom relief, function improvement, and patient satisfaction at midterm follow-up, but the nonunion rate was relatively high. Fusion for painful type II accessory naviculars with or without asymptomatic mild to moderate flatfoot brought about similar clinical outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess how the postoperative medial arch height influenced postoperative patient-reported clinical outcomes after surgery for stage Ⅱ acquired adult flatfoot deformity. METHODS A total of 30 feet of 30 patients (7 males, 23 females) who underwent surgery for stage Ⅱ acquired adult flatfoot deformity and could be followed up for at least 2 years were included. The average age at surgery was 60.0 (standard deviation, 13.0) years, and the average follow-up period was 40 (standard deviation, 15.4) months. Among them, 16 patients underwent lateral column lengthening and 14 patients did not. Patient-reported clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire. Radiographic alignment was evaluated by the talonavicular coverage angle, lateral talo-1st metatarsal angle, medial cuneiform height, medial cuneiform to 5th metatarsal height, and calcaneal pitch. The correlation between postoperative Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire and radiographic alignment was assessed with Pearson's correlation analysis. RESULTS Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire and radiographic alignment significantly improved postoperatively in all patients (P < 0.0001). In patients with severe deformity who needed lateral column lengthening, lateral talo-1st metatarsal angle was negatively and medial cuneiform to 5th metatarsal height was positively correlated with physical functioning Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire subscales (r = -0.56 and 0.55), and medial cuneiform height was positively correlated with physical functioning, social functioning and general health Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire subscales (r = 0.70, 0.55 and 0.73, respectively). CONCLUSION Postoperative medial arch height could influence physical functioning, social functioning, and general health in patients with severe stage II adult-acquired flatfoot deformity.

Abstract
Background: To evaluate if the sonographic finding of medial ankle subcutaneous (subQ) edema is associated with posterior tibial tenosynovitis (PTTS). Methods: Sonographic images of the medial ankle soft tissues from 40 patients with PTTS and 37 patients with a normal posterior tibial tendon (PTT) were randomized and independently evaluated by two musculoskeletal radiologists for the presence or absence of subQ edema. Both radiologists were blinded to the images and status of the PTT and the patient's history. Statistical analyses included the Chi-square test and Cohen's Kappa statistics for inter-observer agreement. Results: A statistically significant association was seen for the presence of medial ankle subQ edema and PTTS among both radiologists’ findings. Of the 40 patients with PTTS, 33 (82.5%) were found positive by the first radiologist for medial ankle subQ edema, while no subQ edema was found in 28 of the 37 (75.7%) patients with a normal PTT (P < 0.001). Similarly, the second radiologist found that 33 of the 40 (82.5%) with PTTS were positive for subQ edema, while no subQ edema was found in 24 of the 37 (64.9%) patients with a normal PTT (P < 0.001). There was also substantial inter-observer agreement between the 2 radiologists (κ-value = 0.79; 95% confidence intervals: 0.65, 0.93). Conclusion: A statistically significant association was present for the association of the sonographic finding of medial ankle subQ edema and the presence of PTTS. Further studies could evaluate if the sonographic finding of medial ankle subQ edema is an early predictor of PTT dysfunction.

Abstract
The progressive collapsing foot deformity is a complex three-dimensional deformity, including valgus malalignment of the heel. The medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy is an established surgical procedure reliably resulting in an efficient correction of the inframalleolar alignment. However, complications are common, including undercorrection of underlying deformity, progression of hindfoot osteoarthritis and/or deformity, and/or symptomatic hardware.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) requires optimum planning that often requires several procedures for deformity correction. The objective of this study was to detect the difference between MDCO versus LCL in the management of AAFD with stage II tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction regarding functional, radiographic outcomes, efficacy in correction maintenance, and the incidence of complications. PATIENT AND METHODS 42 Patients (21 males and 21 females) with a mean age of 49.6 years (range 43-55), 22 patients had MDCO while 20 had LCL. Strayer procedure, spring ligament plication, and FDL transfer were done in all patients. Pre- and Postoperative (at 3 and 12 months) clinical assessment was done using AOFAS and FFI questionnaire. Six radiographic parameters were analyzed, Talo-navicular coverage and Talo-calcaneal angle in the AP view, Talo- first metatarsus angle, Talo-calcaneal angle and calcaneal inclination angle in lateral view and tibio-calcaneal angle in the axial view, complications were reported. RESULTS At 12 months, significant improvement in AOFAS and FFI scores from preoperative values with no significant difference between both groups. Postoperative significant improvements in all radiographic measurements in both groups were maintained at 12 months. However, the calcaneal pitch angle and the TNCA were better in the LCL at 12 months than MDCO, 17̊±2.8 versus 13.95̊±2.2 (p=0.001) and 13.70̊±2.2 versus 19.05̊±3.2 (p<0.001) respectively. 11 patients (26.2%) had metal removal, seven (16.6%) in the MDCO, and four (9.6%) in the LCL. Three (7.1%) in the LCL group had subtalar arthritis, only one required subtalar fusion. CONCLUSION LCL produced a greater change in the realignment of AAFD, maintained more of their initial correction, and were associated with a lower incidence of additional surgery than MDCO, however, a higher incidence of degenerative change in the hindfoot was observed with LCL.

Abstract
Accessory ossicles are a common radiographic finding about the foot and ankle in children and adolescents. They are often noted incidentally during evaluation of foot and ankle injuries, and most can be managed nonsurgically. Although over 20 accessory ossicles have been described around the foot and ankle, five specific structures generate the most concern in pediatric patients. An accessory navicular presents commonly with medial midfoot pain and may require surgical intervention after failure of nonsurgical treatment. Although an accessory navicular can be treated surgically with simple excision, there is some recent evidence that supports concomitant reconstruction of associated flatfoot deformities. Os trigonum, an ossicle posterior to the talus, is also commonly asymptomatic. However, os trigonum may be associated with persistent posterior ankle pain, and open and endoscopic resection techniques are successful. Os subfibulare is an uncommon ossicle that may be associated with recurrent ankle sprains. Recent literature reports successful return to activities after ossicle excision and ligament reconstruction. Os subtibiale may be confused with a medial malleolar fracture in skeletally immature patients. Os peroneum may contribute to lateral midfoot pain.

Abstract
Painful accessory navicular and spring ligament injuries in athletes are different entities from more common posterior tibialis tendon problems seen in older individuals. These injuries typically affect running and jumping athletes, causing medial arch pain and in severe cases a pes planus deformity. Diagnosis requires a detailed physical examination, standing radiographs, and MRI. Initial treatment focuses on rest, immobilization, and restriction from sports. Orthotic insoles may alleviate minor pain, but many patients need surgery to expedite recovery and return to sports. The authors review their approach to these injuries and provide surgical tips along with expected rehabilitation to provide optimal outcomes.

Abstract
Background Adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) represents a spectrum of deformities affecting the foot and the ankle. The optimal management of AAFD remains controversial. We evaluated the efficacy of surgical treatments of AAFD using both direct and indirect evidences. Methods We searched PubMed, EmBase, and the Cochrane Library to identify eligible studies conducted through November 2018. To compare different surgical strategies, we performed a network meta-analysis. A traditional meta-analysis using a random-effects model was used to evaluate the pooled outcome. Results A total of 21 studies including 498 patients were collected and analyzed. Network meta-analysis results based on lateral angle talocalcaneal-calcaneal pitch (LAT-CP) indicated that medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy (MDCO) has the highest probability to be the best course of AAFD treatment. However, analyses based on anteroposterior talo-first metatarsal (AP-TMT1) and lateral angle talocalcaneal talo-first metatarsal (LAT-TMT1) suggested that lateral column lengthening (LCL) was the best treatment, while those based on lateral angle talocalcaneal-arch height, anteroposterior talocalcaneal (AP-TC), lateral angle talocalcaneal-talocalcaneal (LAT-TC), anteroposterior-talonavicular coverage (AP-TNC), talonavicular coverage (TNC), and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) indicated triple arthrodesis (TAO) as the best treatment. Moreover, double arthrodesis (DAO) provided the best treatment effect on the function score. Furthermore, according to traditional meta-analysis, the summary of standardized mean differences (SMD) indicated that the surgical interventions are associated with significant improvements in LAT-CP (SMD − 1.78), LAT-arch height (SMD − 4.95), AOFAS (SMD − 5.24), AP-TMT1 (SMD 2.45), LAT-TMT1 (SMD 1.97), AP-TC (SMD 3.05), LAT-TC (SMD 2.20), AP-TNC (SMD 2.07), TNC (SMD 1.70), and function score (SMD 0.95). Conclusions Our findings indicated that MDCO, LCL, TAO, or DAO might be the best surgical approaches for AAFD treatment. Furthermore, patients who received surgical interventions had significant improvements in symptoms and function.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to describe the sonographic and radiographic findings in the diagnosis and treatment of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. Ultrasound and radiographs play a crucial role in the diagnosis of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and in imaging the postoperative changes related to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. Early detection and diagnosis of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is important in helping to prevent further progression of disease, obviating the need for more invasive and complex procedures.

Abstract
A variety of surgical procedures exist for repair of both traumatic and degenerative osseous and soft-tissue pathologic conditions involving the foot and ankle. It is necessary for the radiologist to be familiar with these surgical procedures, so as to assess structural integrity, evaluate for complicating features, and avoid diagnostic pitfalls. Adequate interpretation of postoperative changes often requires access to surgical documentation to evaluate not only the surgery itself but the expected timeline for resolution of normal postoperative changes versus progressive disease. Appropriate use of surgical language in radiology reports is another important skill set to hone and is instrumental in providing a high-quality report to the referring surgeons. The pathophysiology of a myriad of surgical complaints, beginning from the Achilles tendon and concluding at the plantar plate, are presented, as are their common appearances at computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Commonly encountered entities include Achilles tendon tear, spastic equinus, nonspastic equinus, talar dome osteochondral defect, tarsal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, pes planovalgus, pes cavovarus, peroneal tendinosis, lateral ligament complex pathology, Morton neuroma, plantar plate tear, and metatarsophalangeal joint instability. Computer-generated three-dimensional models are included with many of the procedures to provide a more global view of the surgical anatomy. Correlation with intraoperative photographs is made when available. When appropriate, discussion of postoperative complications, including entities such as infection and failure of graft integration, is presented, although a comprehensive review of postoperative complications is beyond the scope of this article. Notably absent from the current review are some common foot and ankle procedures including hallux valgus and hammertoe corrections, as these are more often evaluated radiographically than with cross-sectional imaging. ©RSNA, 2016.

Abstract
Accessory navicular bone is a common accessory ossicle of the foot and is present in 10% to 14% of normal feet. Less than 1% of the accessory navicular bones are symptomatic. Degenerative or traumatic disruption of the accessory navicular synchondrosis is one of the main causes of symptomatic accessory navicular. The disrupted synchondrosis may or may not be associated with diastasis of the synchondrosis. Fusion of the synchondrosis is indicated if the pain fails to respond to conservative measures. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a minimally invasive approach for fusion of the synchondrosis that has no diastasis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the efficiency of simultaneous correction of moderate to severe hallux valgus deformity and adult-type pes planus. METHODS Twenty cases of moderate to severe hallux valgus complicated with adult-type pes planus in 19 consecutive patients (15 (79%) women, 4 (11%) men; mean age: 44.50 ± 17.13 years, mean follow-up duration: 31.30 ± 17.02 months) were included. Medial calcaneal sliding osteotomy was performed to correct hindfoot valgus, whereas treatments of hallux valgus were case dependent. RESULTS The mean postoperative hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle, hindfoot alignment angle, and hindfoot alignment ratio were 8.40 ± 5.29°, 4.20 ± 2.54°, 3.09 ± 2.92º and 0.41 ± 0.17, respectively. Although a hallux varus deformity occurred as a postoperative complication in one case (5%), there were no cases of postoperative recurrence. CONCLUSION Simultaneous correction of hallux valgus and pes plano-valgus using medial calcaneal sliding osteotomy is an effective technique that reduces recurrence of hallux valgus and increases satisfaction in patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus deformity complicated with adult-type pes planus accompanying hindfoot valgus.

Abstract
The accessory navicular bone is one of the most common accessory ossicles of the foot. Fewer than 1% of accessory navicular bones are symptomatic, and most of these are type II accessory navicular bones. A separation of the synchondrosis is considered one of the main causes of pain. After an injury to the synchondrosis has resulted in a chondro-osseous disruption, the combined forces of tension and shear from the posterior tibial tendon and the foot aggravate the injury and prevent it from healing. Fusion of the synchondrosis is a logical surgical treatment option if the pain is recalcitrant to conservative measures. The purpose of this technical note is to report an endoscopic approach to achieve fusion. It has the advantages of better cosmesis, less scar pain, less risk of nonunion, and potential to examine the tibialis posterior tendon and the talonavicular joint.

Abstract
Calcaneal osteotomy is an extra-articular, joint-sparing procedure that is used in the correction of cavovarus and planovalgus foot deformity. Careful indications and contraindications for the procedure, with meticulous surgical technique, should be followed to avoid complications and to achieve optimal outcomes. Multiple options of osteotomies exist, including translational (medializing and lateralizing calcaneal osteotomy, with ability to slide proximally or distally, closing wedge (Dwyer), and rotational type osteotomies (Evans, Z-osteotomy). Future directions for innovation include developments of both implants and surgical techniques.
