Stabilisierung und Korrektur der medialen Säule im Rahmen der operativen Pes-planovalgus-Therapie

The medial column of the foot is a relevant factor of the pathogenesis of pes planovalgus. Crucial anatomic structures are the tibiocalcaneonavicular ligament complex, the naviculocuneiform joints, including the ossa cuneiformia, and the first tarsometatarsal joint. A combination of bony and soft tissue reconstructive techniques must, therefore, be taken into account when treating pes planovalgus. The present article presents stabilizing and correcting surgical procedures for the medial column of the foot, including basic anatomy and biomechanics.
