[Acquired flat foot of the adult by posterior tibial dysfunction. Options for surgical treatment].

We present the possible etiopatogenic causes of posterior tibial dysfunction or painful flat foot of the adult and the cause-and-effect relationship that may exist. We also expose the gradation of the lesion and the different therapeutic options for the surgical treatment of the deformity. Since 1939, multiple articles have been published, which have been endorsed by clinical, experimental, electromyographic and biomechanical studies; publications that have been consulted and evaluated for the development of this review.

[Treatment with plantar supports in Müller-Weiss disease. Preliminary report].

The objective of this work is to assess the efficacy of conservative treatment with orthopedic insoles in Müller-Weiss disease (EMW). The plantar support aims to pronounce the hindfoot and immobilize the talo-navicular, and naviculo-cuneiform joints or both at the same time, as an alternative to the valguizing osteotomy of the calcaneus and arthrodesis. The clinical and radiological characteristics of 10 cases of EMW in 8 patients under study are analyzed and the results obtained are evaluated.

Results of subtalar arthroereisis for posterior tibial tendon dysfunction stage IIA1. Based on 35 patients.

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results obtained in the treatment of adult flexible flatfoot secondary to posterior tibial dysfunction with subtalar arthroereisis using a Kalix endorthesis.

Methods: 35 patients (37 feet) were studied, having been operated between January 2010 and January 2015 for reducible flatfoot secondary to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction stage IIA1 of Bluman.

Results: The average follow up was 47.

Stress Fracture of the Fifth Metatarsal in Foot Deformity Secondary to Neuromuscular Disease: Experiences of Deformity Correction Treatment-A Report of 3 Cases and Review of the Literature.

Unlabelled: Fractures at the proximal metaphyso-diaphyseal junction of the fifth metatarsal are associated with high rates of delayed union. When these fractures are the result of repeated stress in patients with equinovarus hindfoot, which in turn is caused by neurological disorders, delayed union is the rule. Therefore, in neurological patients with stress fractures, optimal treatment would be to achieve a plantigrade foot enabling them to relieve the fifth metatarsal overload, which prevents the consolidation.
