Optimal Sequence of Corrective Surgeries for Concomitant Valgus Knee and Rigid Pes Planus Deformities: The Knee-First Approach.

ABSTRACT: In patients requiring surgical correction of ipsilateral valgus knee and rigid pes planovalgus deformities, the optimal operative sequence is controversial. Growing evidence suggests these 2 deformities are related in etiology and interrelated in disease course. We present the case of a 72-year-old female with concomitant valgus knee and rigid pes planovalgus deformities successfully treated with total knee arthroplasty followed by triple arthrodesis and Achilles lengthening. Surgical correction of these deformities must be carefully planned between the operating surgeons to avoid over- or under-correction of alignment that could further impact gait. In contrast with the limited available literature, the authors recommend correction at the knee first and the foot and ankle second. Further prospective studies are needed to elucidate the best operative sequence in these patients.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Foot orthoses are widely used in the management of flexible pes planus, yet the evidence to support this intervention has not been clearly defined. This systematic review aimed to critically appraise the evidence for the use of foot orthoses for flexible pes planus in adults. METHODS: Electronic databases (Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane, Web of science, SportDiscus, Embase) were systematically searched in June 2013 for randomised controlled, controlled clinical and repeated measure trials where participants had identified flexible pes planus using a validated and reliable measure of pes planus and the intervention was a rigid or semi-rigid orthoses with the comparison being a no-orthoses (shoes alone or flat non-posted insert) condition. Outcomes of interest were foot pain, rearfoot kinematics, foot kinetics and physical function. RESULTS: Of the 2,211 articles identified by the searches, 13 studies met the inclusion criteria; two were randomised controlled trials, one was a controlled trial and 10 were repeated measure studies. Across the included studies, 59 relevant outcome measures were reported with 17 calculated as statistically significant large or medium effects observed with use of foot orthoses compared to the no orthoses condition (SMD range 1.13 to -4.11). CONCLUSIONS: No high level evidence supported the use of foot orthoses for flexible pes planus. There is good to moderate level evidence that foot orthoses improve physical function (medial-lateral sway in standing (level II) and energy cost during walking (level III)). There is low level evidence (level IV) that foot orthoses improve pain, reduce rearfoot eversion, alter loading and impact forces; and reduce rearfoot inversion and eversion moments in flexible pes planus. Well-designed randomised controlled trials that include appropriate sample sizes, clinical cohorts and involve a measure of symptom change are required to determine the efficacy of foot orthoses to manage adult flexible pes planus.
