Functional Outcome after Surgical Reconstruction of Posterior Tibial Tendon Insufficiency in Patients under 50 Years

Abstract

While some lateral discomfort or pain occurred in patients with or without a lateral column lengthening, the posterior tibial tendon reconstruction utilizing medial calcaneal displacement osteotomy with flexor digitorum longus transfer and a lateral column lengthening with more deformity was successful in the higher-functioning, younger patients.
