1
Q

what is the goal of treatment for flatfoot surgery?

A
  • increase the GRF medial to the STJ axis to increase supinaotry forces
  • slow the progression and prevent secondary deformity and degenerative changes

Q

describe the PCDO (posterior calcaneus displacement osteotomy). which way do you slide the calcaneus?

A

sliding calcaneal osteotomy for tx of flatfoot

-poterior calaneus is slid medially to increase GRF medial to STJ axis

Q

What is TATT?

A

(tibialis anterior tendon transfer)
take the TA from its insertion at the medial aspect of the base of the 1st met and move it laterally; takes it from being a supinator and make it more of a pronator

Q

what is STATT?

A

(split tibialis anterior tendon transfer)
is a split anterior tibial tendon transfer. Leave half of the tendon in its normal insertion, and take the other half and move it lateral to be sutured to peroneus tertius. Now it becomes a more neutral dorsiflexor rather than having a net supination.

16
Q

which way does the calcaneus move in a Dwyer osteotomy?

A

move it lateral to get more pronatory force

17
Q

does teh Dwyer change calcaneal inclination angle?

A

NO. it only changes varus/valgus position of the calcaneus.

18
Q

what foot type do you suspect with someone who has chronic inversion ankle sprains/ lateral ankle instability?

A

cavus foot type - if foot is inverted, peroneal tendons are overworked trying to ever teh foot –> degeneratie changes –> lateral ankle instability

19
Q

What is the Koutsogiannis osteotomy?

A

medial translation of posterior calcaneus for flatfoot correction (aka medial calcaneal slide)

20
Q

what is double calcaneal osteotomy?

A

Evans with medial calcaneal slide

21
Q

what is the steindler stripping?

A

removing all soft tissue from the plantar surface of calcaneus:
FDB, ABDM, ABH

22
Q

What procedure would you use to surgically correct a Haglund’s deformity?

A

Keck and Kelly calcaneal osteotomy

23
Q

Describe the Keck and Kelly procedure..

A

(tx for Haglund’s deformity)

dorsal closing wedge in the calcaneal tuberosity to remove the painful bump and effectively shortening the calcaneus

24
Q

What is the eponym for a 1st MPJ arthrodesis?

A

McKeever

25
Q

What is the Kidner procedure?

A

resection of navicular tuberosity followed by transposition of the insertion of tibialis posterior tendon plantarly on the navicular

26
Q

Which type of plantar fasciotomy allows for spur resection?

A

open plantar fasciotomy is the only one

27
Q

What is the purpose of the Weil osteotomy?

A

shortens and dorsiflexes the capital fragment

28
Q

describe the osteotomy of the Weil procedure.

A

dorsal-distal to proximal-plantar distal oblique osteotomy that allows for shortening and dorsiflexion of the capital fragment.

29
Q

what procedure do you use to shorten a long metatarsal?

A

Weil osteotomy

30
Q

What is the Miller procedure?

A

medial cuneiform- navicular- 1st met fusion

31
Q

What is the Hoke procedure?

A

navicular to medial and intermediate cuneiform arthrodesis

32
Q

What is the Cobb procedure?

A

(for PTTD)

split TA tendon, transfer to the PT or into the navicular

33
Q

What is the double calcaneal osteotomy?

A

Evans with a medial calcaneal slide
