CME OnDemand: Latest Advances in Surgical Correction of the PCFD-Latest Advances in Surgical Correction of the PCFD

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The webinar discussed different surgical techniques for treating flat foot deformity, specifically focusing on the role of the spring ligament and deltoid ligament in correcting the deformity. The first speaker discussed the use of arthroresis technique in collapsing flat foot deformity and the potential benefits of using this procedure in conjunction with other techniques. The second speaker presented the lapicot technique, which involves a lapidus with a wedge to correct a four-foot-driven hind foot valgus. This technique was shown to provide good correction and stability in patients with severe deformities. The third speaker discussed the importance of the spring ligament and deltoid ligament in correcting deformities of the flat foot and shared their experiences with reconstruction of these ligaments. They also mentioned the potential use of new materials such as autologous tendons and allografts for ligament reconstruction. Overall, the webinar highlighted the importance of understanding the various surgical techniques and the role of different ligaments in treating flat foot deformity.
