Background: Spring ligament fulfills 2 main important functions: one, supporting the head of the talus and stabilizing the talonavicular joint, and the other, maintaining the longitudinal arch by acting as a static support. In this preliminary report, we describe an endoscopic repair for spring ligament injuries with modified portals.
Methods: We performed a retrospective case series study from February 2019 to January 2022.
Background: "Morton's Neuroma" is a frequent cause of chronic forefoot pain. It can affect general population, including athletes, and can lead to progressive foot pain and discomfort for daily life activities and sports.
Hypothesis/purpose: Our objective is to evaluate the long-term results in a series of 85 feet, operatively treated with minimally invasive interdigital approach for neurectomy.
Patients with acquired flatfoot deformity due to isolated injury of the spring ligament, with healthy posterior tibialis tendon, are rarely identified. Between December 2004 and September 2011 (6 years and 9 months), we treated 10 patients with acquired flatfoot deformity due to spring ligament injury without tibialis posterior tendon tear. One patient (10%) was lost to follow-up.
