Talocalcaneal Ligament Reconstruction Kinematic Simulation for Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD), an internal and plantar rotation of the talus relative to the calcaneus may result in painful peritalar subluxation. Medial soft tissue procedures (eg, spring ligament repair) aim to correct the talar position via the navicular bone if bony correction alone is not sufficient. The effect of the medial soft tissue reconstruction on the talar reposition remains unclear. We hypothesized that a subtalar talocalcaneal ligament reconstruction might be favorable in PCFD to correct talar internal malposition directly. This pilot study aims to evaluate the anatomical feasibility and kinematic behavior of a subtalar ligament reconstruction in PCFD.

Methods

Three-dimensional surface model from 10 healthy ankles were produced. A
