    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore short-term clinical effects of bone and soft tissue combined with surgery for the treatment of soft flatfoot accompanied with painful navicular bone. METHODS: From May 2015 to August 2017, 16 patients (16 feet) with navicular bone soft flatfoot accompanied with painful navicular bone were treated with bone and soft tissues operation (gastrocnemius release, medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy, and excision of accessory navicular with reconstruction of posterior tibial tendon). Among them, there were 9 males (9 feet) and 7 females (7 feet), aged from 22 to 48 years old with an average of (32.0±3.4) years old. The duration of diseases ranged from 6 months to 5 years with an average of (2.4±1.7) years. The postoperative complications were observed, talocalcaneal angle, the first metatarsal horn of the talus, arch height, angle of inclination and calcaneal valgus before and after operation at 12 months were compared. VAS score and AOFAS score after operation at 12 months were applied to evaluate pain relief and function. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for an average of (18.4±3.5) months(13~25 months). The incisions of patients were healed at grade A without wound infection, nonunion or delayed union, internal fixation fracture or loosening and other complications. Medial pain of foot was disappeared and motor ability was restored at 12 months after operation. Arch height, angle of inclination and the first metatarsal horn of the talus of lateral X-ray before operation and after operation at 12 months on weight-bearing foot were(21.51±1.20)°vs(31.01±1.62)°, (10.71±1.52)°vs(22.12±2.11)°, (15.61±1.41)°vs(5.10±1.20)°; talocalcaneal angle, the first metatarsal horn of the talus of AP X-ray before operation and after operation at 12 months on weight-bearing foot were (36.12±2.21) ° vs (22.12±2.61)°, (13.41±1.51)°vs(4.30±0.91)°; calcaneal valgus of axial X-ray before operation and after operation at 12 months on weight-bearing foot were (10.80±1.21)°vs(3.92±1.81)°; there were statistical difference in imaging indicators between preoperation and 12 months after operation. VAS score was significantly decreased from (6.21±2.31) before operation to (1.82±0.56) at 12 months after operation (t=2.64, P<0.05). AOFAS score was obviously increased from (51.2±5.6)before operation to (87.1±4.7)at 12 months after operation (t=3.43, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Bone and soft tissue operation (namely, gastrocnemius release, medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy, and excision of accessory navicular with reconstruction of posterior tibial tendon) could obviously relieve foot pain, improve foot appearance and function in patients with navicular bone soft flatfoot complicated with painful navicular bone, and has certain clinical efficacy.
