Preface
Dr. Frederic Wood Jones affirmed from his work as an anatomist that “every detail of the structure and function of the parts of the foot must be studied and realised for its own sake”.1 He stressed the significance and value of anatomic structures and function of the foot. This attention to detail is especially appreciated when it comes to evaluation of the flat foot deformity. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Foreword
Ah …the topic of Flatfoot Surgery, and the debates never end. Nothing has garnered as much interest and discussion in the Foot and Ankle space over the past 20 years. Every scientific meeting on foot and ankle surgery includes a track on this topic. The study of the Flatfoot Deformity has spilled ove r into several other specialties, where researchers from basic science and biomechanics have published papers to further support or dispute our clinical outcomes.

Arthroscopic Treatment of Anterior Ankle Impingement
Arthroscopic reduction of tibiotalar osteophytes results in good to excellent results in the vast majority of patients. Pain is primarily due to synovial hypertrophy and anterior tibiotalar entrapment associated with the osteophytes. Osteophytes may be due to repetitive trauma such as sports, or associated with subtle or overt ankle instability. A minimally invasive approach results in rapid recovery and less risk than open interventions. In cases where anterior osteophytes have coexisting ankle instability and in many cases ancillary procedures such as ankle stabilization are performed.

Posterior Ankle Impingement
This article is devoted to managing posterior ankle impingement syndrome and its management using endoscopic to arthroscopic surgical instrumentation. The authors explore the critical anatomy, pathogenesis, and clinical examination. Operative techniques, including the approach, and instrumentation used, are outlined. The postoperative protocol is discussed. Finally, a literature review is provided, which also defines known complications. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Arthroscopy for Traumatic Ankle Injuries
This article has illustrated its use in managing malleolar fractures, syndesmotic injuries, pilon fractures and pediatric ankle fractures. While additional studies may be needed to further support AORIF, it may prove to play a vital role in the future. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Naviculocuneiform Arthrodesis for Treatment of Adult-Acquired Flatfoot Deformity
The adult-acquired flatfoot is a complex multiplanar deformity that requires the foot and ankle surgeon to balance soft tissue, correct hindfoot valgus, and address instability of the medial column. The naviculocuneiform joint is historically underappreciated in regard to its involvement in medial column instability relative to the talonavicular and tarsometatarsal joints. Proper clinical and radiographic evaluation of the medial column, specifically evaluating for deformity at each medial column joint, will allow the surgeon to ensure correction of deformity and decrease the recurrence of instability or failure of the rec...

Anatomic and Biomechanical Considerations of Flatfoot Deformity
In this article, the authors present essential anatomy in the presence of the postural flat foot. There is a recognition of static versus dynamic stabilizers of the foot. In the continuum of the collapsed foot, there is an exploration of anatomic and pathologic changes. Providing this fundamental knowledge will allow the reader to appreciate the disease process to establish a prognosis and consider treatment alternatives.

The Role of Equinus in Flatfoot Deformity
Equinus plays an important role in flatfoot deformity. Proper evaluation and surgical management are critical to comprehensively treat and successfully resolved patients ’ symptoms. We have discussed the cause, evaluation, and some of the common surgical options. Each procedure has its inherent benefits and risks. It is imperative that the foot and ankle surgeon identify and include these procedures as part of the complete reconstructive surgery. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Addressing Medial Column Instability in Flatfoot Deformity
A stable medial column is important to the normal function of the foot and ankle. Medial column instability and forefoot varus can result in compensatory hindfoot motion leading to stress along the medial soft-tissue structures. Medial column stabilization should therefore be considered when (1) forefoot varus deformity is identified following hindfoot realignment; (2) pronounced medial column instability is present, even in the absence of forefoot varus; and (3) when degenerative changes are present within the medial column articulations. Common surgical procedures include arthrodesis of the talonavicular joint, naviculoc...
