Ankle Joint

3.4K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Foot and ankle reconstruction

Background:

  • Calcaneal osteotomy is a key extra-articular procedure for correcting complex foot deformities.
  • Cavovarus and planovalgus deformities significantly impact foot function and patient mobility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the indications, contraindications, and surgical techniques for calcaneal osteotomy.
  • To outline the various types of calcaneal osteotomies available.
  • To discuss potential complications and future innovations in the field.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on calcaneal osteotomy techniques.
  • Analysis of different osteotomy classifications (translational, closing wedge, rotational).
  • Discussion of surgical pearls for optimal outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Multiple calcaneal osteotomy techniques exist, including medializing, lateralizing, Dwyer, Evans, and Z-osteotomies.
  • Proper patient selection and surgical technique are paramount to minimize complications.
  • The procedure is effective in correcting significant foot deformities.

Conclusions:

  • Calcaneal osteotomy is a versatile and effective procedure for foot deformity correction.
  • Adherence to strict indications and meticulous surgical technique are essential.
  • Ongoing innovation in implants and techniques promises further advancements.
