Acquired flat foot

Acquired flat foot

There is a wide range of normal appearance of adult feet. Pathological causes of a flat foot include: /uni25CF tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction; /uni25CF tarsometatarsal arthritis/injury ( Figure 41.8 ); /uni25CF Charcot neuroarthropathy , e.g. diabetes (see Diabetes /uni25CF inflammatory/degenerative arthritis of the subtalar/tal onavicular/naviculocuneiform joints; /uni25CF spring ligament rupture; /uni25CF tarsal coalition. Summary box 41.7 Acquired flat foot /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF The tibialis posterior tendon tends to fail in overweight individuals and those who have flat feet. Often, after unaccus tomed exercise, the tendon swells and is painful. The condition occurs mainly in women; the key test, which is that the patient cannot stand on tiptoe on that leg alone, indicates a significant advanced stage tendon problem. Many individuals will require eatment in the form of a medial displacement calca surgical tr neal osteotomy , flexor digitorum longus or FHL tendon trans fer and spring ligament repair. Failure to treat this condition can lead to spectacular deformity ( Figure 41.9 ). in young athletes An acute traumatic flat foot may develop and military recruits after traumatic injury . Examination shows L Broström , described the surgical treatment of chronic ligament ruptures in 1966. a new-onset flat foot but with a functioning tibialis posterior tendon with single-leg tiptoe preserved; here the injury is an isolated spring ligament tear and early surgery prevents late-onset secondary deformity .

Tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction and tarsometatarsal osteoarthritis are common causes of an acquired /f_l at foot Orthoses, rest and non-steroidal anti-in /f_l ammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help with symptomatic relief Surgery is a major undertaking but is often highly successful at achieving symptomatic relief Figure 41.9 A tibialis posterior tendon-de /f_i cient foot.
