Oblique K-wire Control in Calcaneal Osteotomy for Flatfoot Correction
- Conditions
- Flat Foot
- Registration Number
- NCT06957353
- Lead Sponsor
- Assiut University
- Brief Summary
Adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) often requires surgical correction when conservative methods fail. Calcaneal displacement osteotomy is a key procedure in restoring alignment. This study introduces a novel K-wire technique to enhance control during surgery and minimize complications related to manual manipulation. It builds on prior research highlighting the limitations of traditional approaches in achieving precise fragment positioning.
- Detailed Description
Flat foot deformity, particularly adult - acquired flatfoot (AAFD), often necessitates surgical intervention when conservative treatment fail. Calcaneal displacement osteotomy is a common surgical procedure for correcting calcaneal displacement and achieving stable fixation. The proposed K-wire technique offers a novel approach to improve control and reduce complications associated with manual manipulation during surgery. Previous studies have indicated challenges with traditional methods in achieving precise fragment control. This study aims to address these gaps.
