Abstract
Background: Severe rigid neurologic equinovarus foot (NEVF) deformity, though rare, significantly limits transfers and orthotic use in pediatric patients with neurological disorders. Standard treatments like arthrodesis or talectomy are highly invasive, especially in young patients. This study assesses the mid-term outcomes of a talar neck trapezoidal osteotomy (TNTO) to correct severe NEVF in non-ambulatory patients.
Methods: A retrospective analysis included severe NEVF patients treated with TNTO and muscle rebalancing (2015-2019). Radiographic assessments evaluated alignment and avascular necrosis, while functional outcomes and caregiver satisfaction were recorded RESULTS: Nine patients (56 % male; median age 11, IQR: 9.2-11.2) with a median follow-up of 53.3 months (IQR: 42.4-80.1) showed significant improvements in alignment (p < 0.05) and function (p < 0.05). Caregiver satisfaction was high (100 %), with one patient experiencing asymptomatic partial avascular necrosis.
Conclusions: TNTO is a safe, effective option for correcting severe NEVF, achieving positive outcomes in foot alignment, orthotic use, and caregiver satisfaction mid-term.
期刊介绍:
Foot and Ankle Surgery is essential reading for everyone interested in the foot and ankle and its disorders. The approach is broad and includes all aspects of the subject from basic science to clinical management. Problems of both children and adults are included, as is trauma and chronic disease. Foot and Ankle Surgery is the official journal of European Foot and Ankle Society.
The aims of this journal are to promote the art and science of ankle and foot surgery, to publish peer-reviewed research articles, to provide regular reviews by acknowledged experts on common problems, and to provide a forum for discussion with letters to the Editors. Reviews of books are also published. Papers are invited for possible publication in Foot and Ankle Surgery on the understanding that the material has not been published elsewhere or accepted for publication in another journal and does not infringe prior copyright.
