 Conservative Treatment (Ponsetti Method)
 Children <2 y/o Serial Casting
 Correct Adduction, then Varus, then Equinus
Initial visit
 CC: 5 year old male presents to clinic with
right ankle joint pain
 HPI: Patients mother states her son has been
wearing a right ankle brace since he was 2
years old. Patients mother admits that her
son trips and falls a lot. Patients mother
believes that her sons foot has gotten worse
overtime.

Surgical Plan

 Talectomy
 Fix the Forefoot Varus
 Midfoot Osteotomy
 Midterm Follow-Up of Talectomy for Severe Rigid Equinovarus Feet
 Evaluated the effectiveness of talectomy in the treatment of Dimeglio grade IV
rigid equinovarus feet.
 Nineteen feet in 13 patients were treated by talectomy from September 2001
through January 2012
 An anterolateral incision was made over the ankle and extended distally to the
level of the navicular, and the head and neck of the talus were exposed starting
from the anterior aspect of the ankle
 Complete removal of the talus was performed, and the foot was easily corrected to the neutral,
plantigrade position.
 Posterior displacement of the foot was undertaken until the middle facet of the calcaneus was
situated directly under the tibial plafond
 Postoperatively, all the feet improved to Dimeglio grade II and were painless
Dimeglio Classification System
 Four aspects of the deformity (the equinus,
varus, rotation of the foot, and forefoot
medial deviation) are scored on a scale of 1
(good) to 4 (bad)
 Four other categories (depth of posterior
crease, medial crease, cavus, and muscle
power) being assigned a present/absent
score of 0 or 1 to give a total maximum
score of 20
Surgical Plan
 Correct the Deformity
 Ilizarov or Hexapod frame
 Mechanical rigidity of the Ortho-SUV frame compared to the Ilizarov frame in
the correction of femoral deformity
 Determined the rigidity of the OSF in its initial configuration and after
dynamisation. The results were then compared with those obtained for the
rigidity of fixation using the Ilizarov frame
 Results:
 The OSF, as tested in this study, is equal or better than the Ilizarov fixator in all
zones in the femur and in all planes
 This is due to the fact that the four-threaded Ilizarov rods are located substantially
in the sagittal plane. With the OSF, the struts lie in or near the frontal plane, which
would explain the advantage of the OSF in frontal plane stiffness.
Surgical Plan
 Once deformity is corrected
 Tibiocalcaneal Fusion
 Associated Limb Length Discrepancy
 Biomechanical comparison of blade plate and intramedullary nail fixation for
tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis
 Methods:
 Nine matched pairs of fresh frozen cadaveric legs underwent talectomy followed by fixation with a blade
plate and 6.5-mm fully threaded cancellous screw or an ankle arthrodesis intramedullary nail
 Results:
 Intramedullary nail fixation demonstrated greater mean stiffness throughout the fatigue endurance
testing, from cycles 10 through 250,000 (blade plate versus intramedullary nail
 Conclusion:
 Intramedullary nail fixation was biomechanically superior to blade plate and screw fixation in a
tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis construct.
