Extensive soft tissue defects involving the weight-bearing areas of the plantar aspect of the foot often require coverage with flaps. The options often include free flaps, free muscle flaps with split-thickness skin grafting, or local flaps. When presented with high-energy-induced soft tissue injuries of the foot, choices become narrow, secondary to the associated zone of injury. Free flaps require a viable recipient vessel suitable for microvascular anastomosis. Split-thickness skin grafts applied to the plantar aspect of the foot are prone to persistent breakdown. Local flaps if available are useful for coverage of plantar soft tissue defects. However, when local flaps …

Combined Medial Displacement Calcaneal Osteotomy, Subtalar Joint Arthrodesis, And Ankle Arthrodiastasis For End-Stage Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction., John Stapleton, Ronald Belczyk, Thomas Zgonis, Vasilios D Polyzois
Combined Medial Displacement Calcaneal Osteotomy, Subtalar Joint Arthrodesis, And Ankle Arthrodiastasis For End-Stage Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction., John Stapleton, Ronald Belczyk, Thomas Zgonis, Vasilios D Polyzois

Combining an ankle arthrodiastasis with a medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy and a subtalar joint arthrodesis offers surgeons a joint-sparing procedure for young and active patients who have end-stage posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and ankle joint involvement. An isolated subtalar joint arthrodesis or triple arthrodesis combined with an ankle arthrodiastasis is an option that can be used in certain case scenarios. Delaying the need for a joint destructive procedure through an ankle arthrodiastasis, however, may have a great impact in the near future, as advancements are underway to improve the use of ankle endoprosthesis.
