Abstract
This study evaluated a reverse V-shaped osteotomy for ankylosing rocker-bottom foot deformity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Three feet were presented in this study: rheumatoid rocker-bottom deformities with painful and/or infectious bony prominence towards the bottom of the foot, treated with a reverse V-shaped osteotomy in the mid-hindfoot. In all three cases, significant correction was achieved with restoration of the medial longitudinal arch, and improvement in clinical scores was confirmed. Reverse V-shaped osteotomy has the potential to be a useful and definitive procedure for ankylosing rocker-bottom deformity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
