Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the treatment outcomes of subtalar arthroereisis (SA) in progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) patients, to assess the clinical efficacy in PCFD patients after HyProCure removal, and to evaluate safety and effectiveness of SA.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 202 cases (213 feet) of PCFD patients treated with SA from June 2015 to December 2022 were selected. General data and surgical information were recorded, and clinical efficacy was evaluated through imaging and clinical indicators. Furthermore, for 36 patients (36 feet) who underwent secondary surgery to remove HyProCure, imaging and clinical evaluation indicators at 1-year post-removal were recorded. Complications were also documented.
Results: The main complications were sinus tarsi pain (91.37%), with partial relief or disappearance of symptoms in some patients after conservative treatment. The imaging indicators improved significantly after SA (P < 0.01), and AOFAS score and VAS were significantly improved (P < 0.01), with a 100% excellent rate in patients one year after SA. For patients who removed HyProCure, the imaging indicators exhibited a significant improvement at preoperation and post-SA (P < 0.01), and no statistical difference was observed between post-SA and post-removal (P > 0.05). Regarding clinical indicators, AOFAS score at post-SA was difference compared with preoperation and post-removal separately (P < 0.01). However, the difference in VAS between preoperation and post-SA was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Notably, there was a significant improvement at post-removal compared with post-SA (P < 0.01).
Conclusion: PCFD patients showed significant improvement in imaging and clinical evaluations after SA, with no significant flatfoot recurrence in patients who had HyProCure removed. Therefore, the application of HyProCure in SA can be considered a safe and effective surgical treatment for PCFD patients.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of clinical and basic research studies related to musculoskeletal issues.
Orthopaedic research is conducted at clinical and basic science levels. With the advancement of new technologies and the increasing expectation and demand from doctors and patients, we are witnessing an enormous growth in clinical orthopaedic research, particularly in the fields of traumatology, spinal surgery, joint replacement, sports medicine, musculoskeletal tumour management, hand microsurgery, foot and ankle surgery, paediatric orthopaedic, and orthopaedic rehabilitation. The involvement of basic science ranges from molecular, cellular, structural and functional perspectives to tissue engineering, gait analysis, automation and robotic surgery. Implant and biomaterial designs are new disciplines that complement clinical applications.
JOSR encourages the publication of multidisciplinary research with collaboration amongst clinicians and scientists from different disciplines, which will be the trend in the coming decades.
