Abstract:
Soft tissue procedures for PTT dysfunction and adult acquired flat foot improve function and preserve joint motion. These procedures can only be applied to patients who have correctable deformities. The durability of these procedures, without the addition of bone realignment procedures, has been questioned and needs to be investigated further. Reconstruction of the spring ligament complex corrects the flat foot in cadavers but has not been studied clinically. There is still much to be learned in this condition so we are able to provide optimal care for our patients.
