Can high arch foot return to normal after operation

summary

I believe many people see that some people do not walk very smoothly on the road, not because of disability, but because of high arch foot. I would like to explain to you whether high arch foot can return to normal after operation.

Can high arch foot return to normal after operation

First of all, no matter how skillful a doctor has done, it is impossible for him to return to normal. If you cultivate well, it will take about 4-5 months to return to normal walking. This still depends on the individual's physique, the recovery situation is not the same, must be better for postoperative recovery.

Then the key points of high arch foot operation are: ① take the transverse or longitudinal incision of the dorsum of the foot to expose the tarsal bone outside the periosteum; ② design a V-shaped osteotomy line at the top of the arch of the foot, which is generally located in the middle of the scaphoid, and the medial branch slants from the scaphoid to the medial cortex of the first cuneiform bone; ③ after the osteotomy, the operator pulls the forefoot to the distal end, raises the forefoot, and presses down the distal end of the osteotomy. If there are internal rotation and adduction deformities, the forefoot can be external rotation and abduction for correction. Then, a Kirschner wire was inserted from the medial side of the first metatarsal bone and stopped at the lateral part of the calcaneus through the osteotomy line. The leg was fixed with plaster for six weeks. After removing the plaster fixation, the Kirschner wire was removed and X-ray film was taken to observe the osteotomy healing. If it has healed, it can start to walk with load gradually.

Finally, open osteotomy of the first cuneiform bone, dorsal cuneiform osteotomy of tarsal bone, V-shaped osteotomy and posterior calcaneal osteotomy were performed. V-shaped tarsal osteotomy has many advantages, it does not damage the tarsal epiphysis, so it is suitable for children over 6 years old. It can correct adduction and internal rotation of forefoot.

matters needing attention
