Is Advanced Imaging a Must in the Assessment of Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity?
Advanced imaging modalities have, in very recent years, enabled a considerable leap in understanding progressive collapsing foot deformity, evolving from a simple confirmation of clinical diagnostic using basic measurements to minute understanding of soft tissue and bone involvements. MRI and weight-bearing cone-beam computed tomography are enabling the development of new 3-dimensional measurement modalities. The identification of key articular and joint markers of advanced collapse will allow surgeons to better indicate treatments and assess chances of success with conservative therapies and less invasive surgical procedu...

Spring and Deltoid Ligament Insufficiency in the Setting of Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity. An Update on Diagnosis and Management
The spring and deltoid ligament are important stabilizers to the medial ankle. Together they form a complex along the medial ankle and foot that are critical to stability of both the ankle and medial longitudinal arch. Incompetence of the spring and deltoid ligament are components of both the early and late stages of progressive collapsing foot deformity. As the importance of this medial ligament complex has been recognized, repair and reconstruction of these ligaments has progressively evolved, initially as separate reconstructions, and more recently as combined techniques.

What Are the Updates on Epidemiology of Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity?
Progressive collapsing foot deformity is one of the most controversial topics in foot and ankle surgery. Much research has been done regarding anatomy, biomechanics, and etiology behind this complex deformity and there is interest in studying metabolic or genetic conditions that could influence the development of this multifactorial disorder. Relevant anatomy includes osseous and soft tissue structures. Several risk factors like obesity, genetics, and flat foot during childhood have been proposed in literature. It occurs 3 times more often in women, the peak incidence happening at age 55, and is more common in white, obese...

Calcaneal Osteotomies in the Treatment of Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity. What are the Restrictions for the Holy Grail?
The progressive collapsing foot deformity is a complex three-dimensional deformity, including valgus malalignment of the heel. The medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy is an established surgical procedure reliably resulting in an efficient correction of the inframalleolar alignment. However, complications are common, including undercorrection of underlying deformity, progression of hindfoot osteoarthritis and/or deformity, and/or symptomatic hardware.
