    Press Release:
    Study Finds Flatfoot Reconstruction Effective for Older Patients
    HSS study is the first to examine reconstruction clinical outcomes in this population

    New Orleans, LA—March 10, 2018

    When someone develops adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD), they are offered either a reconstruction or foot fusion depending on the severity of the flatfoot and their age. Typically reconstructions are performed in younger patients while older patients undergo fusions, even though it can limit mobility.

    Researchers from Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) presented study findings today at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) that were the first to compare the outcomes of reconstructions on older patients to those of a younger group.

    The study evaluated patients over 65 with stage II AAFD to see if there are worse clinical outcomes or an increased number of subsequent surgical procedures following flatfoot reconstruction when compared to younger patients.

    "Overall, flatfoot reconstruction provides better long-term outcomes and mobility of the foot when compared to foot fusions," said Scott J. Ellis, MD, foot and ankle surgeon at HSS and senior study author. "However, there is a chance that reconstruction could fail, and to avoid a long, arduous recovery with multiple surgeries, patients older than 65 commonly skip reconstruction and opt for a fusion."

    "My colleagues and I wanted to investigate if this was still a viable option for elderly patients in the hopes of maintaining flexibility in their foot," Dr. Ellis added.

    Over 130 HSS patients were assessed in three groups based on their age: less than 45 years old (young); 45 to 65 years old (middle-aged); and 65 years and older (old).

    This study measured clinical outcomes using the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) and compared preoperative and postoperative scores at a minimum of two years. Findings indicated that patients in the older group did not demonstrate any differences in their outcomes compared with patients in the young and middle-aged groups.

    Additionally, older patients were not more likely to undergo a subsequent removal of hardware or revision procedures than patients in the younger cohorts.

    "Our initial hypothesis was that there would be increased complications for patients in the older group. However, we saw positive, consistent surgical outcomes across all age groups," said Dr. Ellis. "Depending on the severity of the condition, we believe a flatfoot reconstruction is a great option for patients regardless of their age. For the right patient, it can be the last surgery that they need."

    Dr. Ellis believes that older patients have not often been offered a flatfoot reconstruction by their surgeons since there has not been enough research to critically review surgical outcomes. The loss of mobility with a fusion is something patients need to consider and discuss with their surgeon along with their expectations.

    "This is strong evidence to support that flatfoot reconstruction can be an option for everyone, but we need to continue to follow patient clinical outcomes over an extended period of time to provide more data for this sparsely investigated topic," Dr. Ellis stated.

    Here was my solution:

    - Neutral low profile shoes (4mm drop and below)
    - No orthotics
    - No icing
    - Resistance band exercises
    - Run through it

    Overall, fix your running form/gait (so that you forefoot strike). If you have a proper running gait, you will never get running overuse injuries.

    Seriously? Totally clueless. Anyone treating posterior tibial tendon dysfunction that way, is incompetent; guaranteeing that it will need surgery and be a permanent disability; and probably loose their license to practice.

    You do realise that this thread is on 'posterior tibial tendon dysfunction'- I am assuming that you have no idea what that is and confused it with tendonitis/tendinopathy ? ... in which case, you should not be posting such nonsense in a pubic forum when you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

    and BTW, forefoot striking and a lower drop shoes increases the load on the posterior tibial tendon, so you are giving really bad advice anyway for those with tendinopathy ... you really should be leaving this stuff to those who actually know what they are doing.
