  • Title: Procedure selection for the flexible adult acquired flatfoot deformity.
    Author: Hentges MJ, Moore KR, Catanzariti AR, Derner R.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2014 Jul; 31(3):363-79. PubMed ID: 24980927.
    Abstract:
    Adult acquired flatfoot represents a spectrum of deformities affecting the foot and the ankle. The flexible, or nonfixed, deformity must be treated appropriately to decrease the morbidity that accompanies the fixed flatfoot deformity or when deformity occurs in the ankle joint. A comprehensive approach must be taken, including addressing equinus deformity, hindfoot valgus, forefoot supinatus, and medial column instability. A combination of osteotomies, limited arthrodesis, and medial column stabilization procedures are required to completely address the deformity.
