Posttraumatic hindfoot varus may result from nonoperative treatment or inadequate reduction and fixation of talar and calcaneal fractures. Adequate visualization of the talar neck via bilateral approaches is essential in avoiding malreduction. In cases of medial comminution of the talar neck, lag screws must be avoided and the use of single or double plates should be considered. A Schanz screw introduced into the calcaneal tuberosity is instrumental in realigning shortening, varus, or valgus deformity of the heel. Special attention should be paid to addressing impaction of the medial facet of both the talus and calcaneus to avoid hindfoot varus.

Split tendon transfer of the posterior tibialis for spastic equinovarus foot deformity: Does tendon routing impact post-operative ankle kinematics?
Gait Posture

Department of Orthopaedics, BC Children's Hospital, 4500 Oak St, Vancouver, BC V6H 3N1, Canada; The Motion Lab, Sunny Hill Health Centre, 4480 Oak St, Vancouver, BC V6H 3N1, Canada; University of British Columbia, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Orthopaedics, 317 - 2194 Health Sciences Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3, Canada.
Background: Split tendon transfer of the posterior tibialis (SPOTT) is a surgical procedure in which the split posterior tibialis tendon is transferred posterior to the fibula (PO) with insertion on the peroneus brevis tendon to rebalance the forces across the hindfoot. Routing of the split tendon through the interosseous membrane (IO) is a variation with the potential benefit of augmenting ankle dorsiflexion in swing.
Research Question: Does IO routing improve ankle dorsiflexion in swing and/or varus in stance compared to PO routing?
Methods: A retrospective chart review was completed to identify forty-two patients who underwent a SPOTT procedure for equinovarus foot deformity.
The association between varus knee deformity and morphological changes in the foot and ankle in patients with end-stage varus knee osteoarthritis.

Department of Joint Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao, Shandong, 266000, China.
Background: This study aimed to (1) determine the association between varus knee deformity and ipsilateral foot and ankle morphology, and (2) evaluate the relationship between varus knee deformity and foot and ankle pain in patients with end-stage varus knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
Methods: A total of 213 patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty for end-stage varus KOA were enrolled in this study and divided into a 'severe varus group' (n = 119) and a 'mild varus group' (n = 94) based on preoperative knee varus degree. Morphological parameters and pain incidence in the foot and ankle were compared between the two groups.
Single-Incision Peroneal Tendon Repair With Concomitant Modified Dwyer Calcaneal Osteotomy: Report of 15 Cases With Plate Fixation.
Foot Ankle Int
December 2024
Gundersen Clinic, Lacrosse, WI, USA.
Background: Addressing hindfoot varus via calcaneal osteotomy with simultaneous peroneal tendon repair from a single incision has not been thoroughly assessed. Some concerns with one incision are wound complications, nerve damage, and symptomatic hardware.
Methods: Patients operated on by one surgeon May 2012 to January 2022 were retrospectively reviewed with minimum 2-year follow-up via in-person visit, telephone, and chart review.

Background: Calcaneal slide osteotomies represent a well-established component in the surgical treatment of joint-preserving hind foot corrections. The percutaneous technique aims to minimize the surgical morbidity and maximize surgical efficiency. There is a consensus that percutaneous calcaneal sliding osteotomy (PCSO), using a low-speed and hightorque burr, is generally performed in four steps corresponding to the four quadrants of the cross-section of the calcaneal tuber.

Gait Posture

MOTION Science Institute, Department of Exercise & Sport Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, NC, United States.
Background: Structural malalignments, such as talar malalignments and hindfoot varus, are hypothesized to contribute to early ankle joint degeneration by altering joint contact force (JCF). These malalignments, common in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI), can modify the articular geometry of the ankle joint, potentially leading to abnormal joint loading patterns. This study leverages musculoskeletal modeling and simulation to conceptualize the effects of increasing severity of these malalignments on ankle JCF during walking.
