Abstract
Purpose This study's goal was to evaluate the outcomes of lateral column lengthening by plate fixation without bone graft in the management of symptomatic flexible flatfoot. Methods A prospective randomized trial study included 30 feet (27 patients) and was performed from March 2017 to December 2019. Functional and radiological evaluations were done pre-operative and at the final post-operative follow-up. The functional assessment was done using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score. Results The mean follow-up was 16.5 ± 3.027 months. The mean age of patients was 22.6 ± 6.29 years. All cases showed union ranging from 8 to 12 weeks, with a mean of 10 ± 1.88 weeks. The mean AOFAS score improved from 51.6 ± 6.75 to 92.2 ± 6.21. The mean anteroposterior (AP) talo-first metatarsal angle improved from 25.3° ± 8.31° to 3.4° ± 5.10°. The mean anteroposterior (AP) talo-navicular coverage improved from 22.10° ± 4.28° to 2.3° ± 3.46°. The mean Lateral talo-first metatarsal angle improved from 18.6° ± 4.79° to 3.3° ± 3.16°. The calcaneal pitch angle improved from 9.6° ± 4.14° to 15.1° ± 4.43°. The mean lateral talo-calcaneal angle improved from 45.7° ± 3.77° to 37.5° ± 3.47°. Conclusion Using an interposition wedge plate for LCL without bone graft leads to a high union rate, maintains the correction, and avoids possible complications of autografts and allografts.

Abstract
Posterior tibial tendon disfunction is one of the most commonly treated foot and ankle entities. Surgical treatment may consist of various components and is often performed on an a-la-carte basis. Commonly, joint preservative surgery for posterior tibial tendon dysfunction invariably involves one or more osteotomies of the calcaneus. This article evaluates the current existing evidence guiding providers in the selection of single or double calcaneal osteotomies.

Abstract
The lateral column lengthening procedure is a commonly used osteotomy for correction of pes planus performed by inserting a graft in the anterior aspect of the calcaneus through a transverse osteotomy. Though nonunion and calcaneo-cuboid subluxation have been previously reported, these complications have not been extensively studied in pediatric patients. After IRB approval, 111 patients (151 feet) who underwent lateral column lengthening at a single institution were identified. Fifty-three females (70 feet) and 58 males (81 feet) with an average age of 11.4 years (2.6 SD; range 5-17) were analyzed. The primary outcome was nonunion defined as a lack of radiographic evidence of osteotomy healing by 9 months. Underlying diagnosis, pre and postoperative radiographic measurements, age, operative technique, fixation, calcaneo-cuboid subluxation, graft material and concomitant procedures were analyzed for their relationship to nonunion. Nonunion occurred in 7 of 151 feet (4.6%). Patient age at the time of surgery and calcaneo-cuboid subluxation trended toward a significant association with nonunion ( P = 0.053, 0.054, respectively). The degree of surgical correction, as determined by radiographic analysis, and the use of calcaneo-cuboid fixation were not significantly associated with nonunion. None of the other factors evaluated were significantly associated with nonunion. There were three cases of postoperative infections (2.0%), two were superficial and 1 (0.7%) was deep. Thirty-five of 151 feet disclosed radiographic evidence of subluxation. Excluding subluxation, the overall complication rate was 8.6%. Nonunion occurred in 4.6% of pediatric feet undergoing lateral column lengthening. Fixation type was not significantly associated with nonunion. Older age at the time of surgery and calcaneocuboid subluxation trended towards significance. The placement of a calcaneo-cuboid pin was not found to be a significant factor in preventing calcaneo-cuboid subluxation or nonunion.

Early results and complication rate of the LapiCotton procedure in the treatment of medial longitudinal arch collapse: a prospective cohort study. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022; 143:2283-2295. [PMID: 35312845 PMCID: PMC10110656 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-022-04399-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Instability/collapse of the medial column has been associated with many conditions, particularly progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD), hallux valgus (HV), and midfoot arthritis (MA). Restoration of first ray length and sagittal plane alignment to restore the foot tripod is essential when treating these deformities. This study aimed to assess early results, healing, and complication rate of a distraction dorsal opening plantarflexion wedge allograft first tarsometatarsal joint fusion (LapiCotton Procedure) in patients with collapse/instability of the medial column. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, we included PCFD, HV, and MA patients that underwent a LapiCotton procedure. Fusion site healing was defined by > 50% bone bridging in both interfaces between allograft wedge and host bone using weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) after 3 months. First ray collapse radiographic correction and minor and major complications (deep dehiscence, deep infection, and reoperation) were assessed. RESULTS A total of 22 patients (22 feet) were included (11 PCFD, 6 MA, and 5 of HV patients). Mean follow-up was 5.9 months (range 3-12) and median allograft size was 8 mm (range 5-19 mm). Bone healing was observed in 91% of cases. Two minor complications (9%, both superficial dehiscence) and one major complication (4.5%, deep infection) were observed. Statistically significant improvement of the sagittal plane talus-first metatarsal angle was observed, with mean improvement of 9.4° (95% CI 6.7-12.1°; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION In this prospective cohort study of 22 patients treated with the LapiCotton procedure for medial longitudinal arch collapse/instability, we observed a low complication rate (9% minor, 4.5% major), high healing rate after 3 months (91%), one clinically stable radiographic non-union (4.5%) and one unstable non-union (4.5%) needing reoperation. Our results demonstrate promising initial results for LapiCotton technique in treating collapse of the medial longitudinal arch in patients with PCFD, MA and HV deformities. Long-term results are needed to confirm these promising results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, prospective cohort study.

Abstract
Lateral column lengthening has long been used in conjunction with other soft tissue and bony procedures to correct the midforefoot abduction seen in class B progressive collapsing foot deformity. The effectiveness of this osteotomy to restore the physiologic shape of the foot has been used by foot and ankle surgeons around the world to provide functional improvement for patients suffering from this disease. The overall low complication rates, low nonunion rates, and improved radiographic and functional outcomes provided by lateral column lengthening make this a valuable option for the treatment of class B progressive collapsing foot deformity.

Comparison between Malerba osteotomy and combined Evans/medial displacement calcaneal osteotomies for the management of flexible pes planus in young adults: a prospective randomised control trial, three years follow-up. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2021; 45:2579-2588. [PMID: 34414486 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-021-05172-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the current study is to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of Malerba osteotomy in comparison to the standardized combined Evans/Medial Displacement Calcaneal Osteotomy (MDCO) in the management of symptomatic flexible pes planus in young adults. METHODS Prospective randomized control trial included 34 feet (33 patients), 17 cases in each group. Functionally, patients were assessed by AOFAS and FADI scores. Radiographic evaluation included calcaneal pitch, lateral talo-1st metatarsal, AP talo-first metatarsal, AP talo-calcaneal angles, and the talar coverage percentage. RESULTS Pre-operative and three years follow-up scores and angles were compared between both groups. No statistically significant difference could be detected between both groups (P value 0.87). However, the data showed statistically significant difference in each group when comparing (pre-operative and third year follow-up scores and angles) (P value < 0.001). The mean union rate was eight weeks in Malerba group and nine weeks in Evans/MDCO group. No incidence of nonunion. Complications like calcaneocuboid subluxation, calcaneal anterior process fracture, and lateral column pain were exclusively reported in Evans/MDCO group. CONCLUSION Malerba osteotomy is a strong valid option for the operative management of flexible pes planus in young adults. Authors recommend Malerba osteotomy in all mild and moderate deformities due to lower complication rate while the combined Evans/MDCO is preferred in severe deformity due to relatively higher corrective power with consideration of possible complications.

Lateral column osteotomy versus subtalar arthroereisis in the correction of Grade IIB adult acquired flatfoot deformity: A clinical and radiological follow-up at 24 months. Foot Ankle Surg 2021; 27:559-566.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult acquired flat foot deformity (AAFD) is a spectrum of conditions which can be progressive if untreated. Surgical correction and restoration of anatomical relationship are often required in the treatment of symptomatic Grade II AAFD after a failed course of conservative treatment. There is a paucity of literature recommending best practice-especially in the adult population. The authors aim to compare radiological and clinical outcomes of two widely employed surgical techniques in the treatment of symptomatic AAFD. METHODS A retrospective study of 76 patients with Grade IIB AAFD and had undergone either lateral column lengthening (LCL) or subtalar arthroereisis (STA) surgical correction of their symptomatic AAFD. Each technique was augmented with both bony osteotomy and soft tissue transfer as determined by on table assessment. Clinical and radiological outcomes were reviewed 24 months after surgery. RESULTS LCL and STA groups had comparable radiological outcomes at 24 months after surgery. However, LCL group demonstrated superior American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot (90.3 ± 12.6 vs 81.1 ± 20.6, p < 0.001) as well as Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) midfoot scores (0.5 ± 1.6 vs 1.3 ± 2.4, p < 0.001) at 24 months compared to the STA group. STA had a higher complication rate (20.6% vs 4.4%), with all cases complaining of sinus tarsi pain requiring subsequent removal of implant. CONCLUSION There is a role for either techniques in the treatment of symptomatic AAFD. LCL whilst more invasive has demonstrated superior outcome scores and lower complication rates at 24 months compared to STA. Patients need to be counselled appropriately to appreciate the benefits of each technique.

Abstract
Lateral column lengthening is a common method for treatment of patients with symptomatic flat feet. Although variations of the technique have been described by many authors, there is a lack of agreement about the exact location of the osteotomy. Most authors tried to find the interval between the anterior and middle talocalcaneal facets but did not offer a reproducible method to achieve this purpose. The use of a plantarflexion anteroposterior view of the foot provides better visualization of the anatomic landmarks and helps to precisely perform the osteotomy anterior to the sustentaculum tali, with protection of the anterior and middle talocalcaneal facets.
