Publication Metadata only Surgical Management and Outcomes of Patients with Idiopathic Peroneal Spastic Flatfoot A Retrospective Case Series(2023-01-01) UÇAN V.; DEMİREL M.; ALIYEV O.; YILDIZ F.; UZER G.; UÇAN, VAHDET; ALIYEV, ORKHAN; YILDIZ, FATİH; UZER, GÖKÇERBackground: Although tarsal coalition represents the most common cause of peroneal spastic flatfoot, its existence cannot be verified in several cases. In some patients with rigid flatfoot, no cause can be detected after clinical, laboratory, and radiologic examina-tion, and the condition is called idiopathic peroneal spastic flatfoot (IPSF). This study aimed to present our experience with surgical management and outcomes in patients with IPSF.Methods: Seven patients with IPSF, who were operated on between 2016 and 2019, and followed for at least 12 months were included, whereas those with known causes, such as tarsal coalition or other causes (eg, traumatic) were excluded. All patients were followed up for 3 months with botulinum toxin injection and cast immobilization as a routine protocol, and clinical improvement was not achieved. The Evans procedure and grafting with tricortical iliac crest bone graft in five patients and subtalar arthrodesis in two patients were performed. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot scale scores and Foot and Ankle Disability Index scores were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively from all patients.Results: On physical examination, all feet manifested rigid pes planus with varying degrees of hindfoot valgus and limited subtalar motion. Overall, the mean American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society and Foot and Ankle Disability Index scores significantly increased from 42 (range, 20-76) and 45 (range, 19-68) preoperatively (P = .018) to 85 (range, 67- 97) and 84 (range, 67-99) (P = .043) at the final follow-up, respectively. No major intraoper-ative or postoperative complications were observed in any of the patients. All computed to-mographic and magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed no evidence of tarsal coalitions in any of the feet. All radiologic workups failed to demonstrate secondary signs of fibrous or cartilaginous coalitions.Conclusions: Operative treatment seems to be a good option in the treatment of patients with IPSF who do not benefit from conservative treatment. In the future, it is recommended to investigate the ideal treatment options for this group of patients.

A.; Güngören N.; Aliyev O.; ELMALI N.; Tuncay İ.; YILDIZ F.; İNCESOY, MUSTAFA ALPER; ELMALI, NURZAT; TUNCAY, İBRAHİM; YILDIZ, FATİHObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the posterior condylar angle (PCA) and condylar twist angle (CTA) of the distal femur in the Turkish population and its concordance with the current standard prosthesis guides used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: Two hundred and forty knees of 120 Turkish subjects (60 male and 60 female) were included in this study. PCA, CTA, femoral mediolateral lengths (fML), medial femoral anteroposterior lengths (fMAP), lateral femoral anteroposterior lengths (fLAP), distances between the trochlear groove and fMAP (DBTG–fMAP), distances between the trochlear groove and fLAP (DBTG–fLAP), medial posterior condylar cartilage thickness (MPCCT) and lateral posterior condylar cartilage thicknesses (LPCCT) were measured on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Results: The median CTA was 7° (range: 0°-13.0°) and the median PCA was 4° (range 0°-11.0°) (P <.0001). The median fML was 79.5 mm (range: 65.7-98.9). The median length of the fMAP was 58.2 mm (range: 46.8-69.0) and the median length of fLAP was 58.2 mm (range: 48.4-73.0). The DBTG–fMAP was 15.2 mm (range: 5.2-23.2), and DBTG–fLAP length was 21.9mm (range: 16.4-29.4). The median MPCCT and LPCCT were 2.4 mm (range: 1.6-3.6) and 2.3 mm (range: 1.2-2.8), respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficient for quantifying interobserver and intraobserver reliability showed excellent agreement regarding the PCA and CTA. Conclusion: This study has shown us that PCA and CTA may be higher in the Turkish population. Although it is not known whether these results have any clinical utility, it may be useful for surgeons to keep this in mind to prevent femoral component malposition. Level of Evidence: Level IV, Diagnostic Study.
