The topic of pes cavus has, for many years, been the object of much discussion, with numerous literary works dedicated to its etiology and treatment. Anterior tarsal resection was presented in the literature over 50 years ago. The authors describe a rationale for performing this procedure as well as other adjunct soft tissue procedures for the correction of a rigid anterior global cavus with its apex at the navicular cuneiform joint.
The purpose of this manuscript is to describe an effective alternative form of internal fixation after Akin-type osteotomies of the first proximal phalanx, when surgically correcting hallux valgus in patients who exhibit a structural deformity. Intraoperative technique, postoperative management, potential complications, and a review of alternative fixation modalities are described.
This article presents lengthening of the peroneus longus tendon as an adjunctive procedure in the surgical correction of a plantarflexed first ray. The technique has enhanced the effectiveness of primary surgical procedures utilized in the correction of a plantarflexed first ray. Technical difficulty associated with lengthening of the peroneus longus tendon is minimal, and the incision placement introduced in this manuscript provides excellent exposure.
