CME OnDemand: 2022 AOFAS Annual Meeting-Symposium 3: Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The panel discussed various treatment options for flat foot deformities, focusing on the need to address the multi-planar nature of the deformity. Treatment options include lateral column lengthening, cotton osteotomy, navicular cuneiform fusion, and subtalar fusion. They also discussed the use of different materials for grafts, including autografts, allografts, and metal wedges. The panel highlighted the importance of assessing the stability of the hindfoot, the flexibility of the forefoot, and the alignment of the midfoot when determining the appropriate treatment approach. They emphasized the need for individualized treatment plans and the consideration of both clinical and radiographic factors. Additionally, the panel discussed the potential complications of these procedures, such as non-union, and the use of adjunctive biologics to enhance bone healing. Overall, they emphasized the importance of selecting the most appropriate treatment option for each patient based on their specific needs and anatomical considerations.
