Radiological Outcomes of Modified Extra-articular LCL

Recruiting
Conditions
Adult Acquired Flexible Flatfoot Deformity After Failure of Conservative Treatment
Registration Number
NCT06562062
Lead Sponsor
Assiut University
Brief Summary

To assess radiological and functional outcomes of modified extra-articular lateral column lengthening procedure for correction of adult acquired flexible flatfoot deformity

Detailed Description

Measurement of

1. Calcencal pitch : This angle is formed on a weight-bearing lateral foot radiograph between the calcaneal Inclination axis and the supporting horizontal surface(10), normal ranges of between 10-25° and 20-30 have Been proposed(11)

2. Meary's angle: It is the angle between a line drawn along the longitudinal axis of the talus (mid-talar axis) and the first metatarsal (first metatarsal axis) , typically', Meary's angle is 0°, with abnormal values considered angle \>4° convex upward: pes cavus , angle \<-4 convex downward: pes planus, It can be used to classify the severity of deformity

3. lateral talocalceneal angle : the angle between the calcaneal inclination axis and the mid-talar axis , The lateral talocalcaneal angle should normally measure between 25 and 40°, \>40° diagnoses flatfoot deformity(12)

4. Talonavicular coverage angle: it is the medial angle between ( talar head articular surface and Proximal navicular articular surface) ,Interpreting the talonavicular coverage angle (13)Normal: \<7,Adult Acquired flatfoot disease: \>7°

Measurement of

1. Calcencal pitch : this angle is formed on a weight-bearing lateral foot radiograph between the calcaneal Inclination axis and the supporting horizontal surface , correction angle needed ≈ 15-25°.

2. Meary's angle: It is the angle between a line drawn along the longitudinal axis of the talus (mid-talar axis) and the first metatarsal (first metatarsal axis) , correction angle needed ≈ 0-1°.

3. lateral talocalceneal angle : the angle between the calcaneal inclination axis and the mid-talar axis correction angle ≈ 25 and 40° .

4. Talonavicular coverage angle: it is the medial angle between ( talar head articular surface and Proximal navicular articular surface
