Summary

Treating progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) involves complex factors. The consensus is that while preserving joint motion is ideal, a stable, aligned foot is the priority, even if it requires joint fusion.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Foot and ankle reconstruction
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) presents complex challenges in operative treatment.
  • Understanding the interplay of bone shape, soft tissue integrity, and patient-specific factors is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish consensus on the primary goals and considerations for surgical intervention in PCFD.
  • To outline the decision-making process balancing joint preservation with corrective procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Consensus-based expert opinion.
  • Level V evidence, reflecting collective clinical experience.

Main Results:

  • Realignment and balancing of the foot are the paramount objectives in PCFD surgery.
  • Preservation of joint motion is preferred but secondary to achieving a stable, corrected foot alignment.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical decisions for PCFD must integrate bone and soft tissue assessment with patient factors like age and BMI.
  • Joint-sacrificing procedures, such as fusions, may be necessary to ensure stable correction, superseding motion preservation when required.
