College student vs Lime scooter didn’t end well… fixed him up with internal fixation for the comminuted intra-articular 4th metatarsal fracture, and percutaneous pinning for the 2nd and 3rd metatarsal fractures. Check out that fracture remodeling over the first year! X-rays are at injury, then postop 2 wks, 6 wks, 3 mo, 6 mo, 1 year. He’s walking with no pain and is cleared for full activity. Except no more motorized scootering…

Another flatfoot reconstruction!

This woman in her 40s had progressive pain in her foot for several years, and it was flattening more than the other side. We diagnosed a chronic spring ligament tear and partial thickness tears in the posterior tibial tendon. Fixing a flatfoot often requires a combination of soft tissue repair and bony reconstruction. She had a spring ligament reconstruction, posterior tibial tendon advancement, and a cotton osteotomy to protect the repairs. These X-Rays show the difference before and after surgery. After 10 weeks, she is getting back into regular shoes and has minimal pain!

This patient is a very active octogenarian who fell off a ladder and was told that he sprained his foot. He hobbled around on it for two weeks before coming to see me with a lisfranc fracture dislocation and significant fracture blisters.

In layman’s terms, he tried to rip his foot in half, breaking multiple bones and tearing most of the soft tissue attachments.

Given the significant displacement and soft tissue compromise, we opted to do a percutaneous reduction (no incisions bigger than 5mm) and fixed it with k wires. Those will be pulled out in clinic after 6-8 weeks. If he develops arthritis in those joints down the road, we can do a less invasive fusion since the bones are in the right zip code now.

Each patient has their own story and unique circumstances. Listening to them and tailoring the treatment plan to each patient is key to success.

I love a good flat foot reconstruction!

For a patient with Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (the latest name for flatfoot), it’s important to address both the soft tissue and the bony alignment. No two feet are the same.

This patient had a spring ligament tear and posterior tibial tendonitis, so after nonoperative treatments failed to provide her adequate relief, we proceeded with surgery. Spring ligament reconstruction, FDL transfer, cotton osteotomy. No calcaneal osteotomy since her hindfoot was already in neutral.
