Finally, there is the hindfoot which is the area of your heel and ankle. (orthopedicassociates.org)
The need for revision surgery in patients with a history of previous Charcot foot and/or ankle reconstruction includes recurrent ulceration, delayed osseous union with recurrent deformity not amenable to brace therapy, infection, and new Charcot neuroarthropathy process at a different anatomical level resulting in deformity not amenable to conservative treatments.

Deformity2
however, the original description of using tendon transfer for the treatment of progressive flatfoot deformity is attributed to Goldner in 1974. (medscape.com)
Relative contraindications include insufficient bone stock for arthrodesis, severe dislocation or deformity, peripheral arterial disease, localized infection, elevated glycosylated hemoglobin, perioperative elevated blood glucose levels, poor skin quality or excessive scarring, ambulatory dysfunction, inability to maintain non-weight bearing during postoperative convalescence, and/or lack of family support.

Patients2
Results from a 1969 study by Kettelkamp and Alexander revealed that when patients demonstrated tendon rupture and surgical correction was delayed, a poor outcome with surgical exploration resulted. (medscape.com)
Diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy patients experience a higher rate of complications than those with Charcot neuroarthropathy from other sources. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
Important1
There are several important preoperative considerations in revision reconstruction of the Charcot neuroarthropathy patient. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
Foot1
[ 14 ] A widely accepted classification system, proposed by Johnson in 1989 and modified by Myerson in 1997, clarified treatment recommendations on the basis of the severity of the PTT dysfunction and the adaptation of the foot to collapse of the medial longitudinal arch. (medscape.com)
Arthrodesis1
The Jones procedure includes transfer of the extensor hallucis longus tendon to the first metatarsal head and arthrodesis of the interphalangeal (IP) joint of the great toe. (medscape.com)
Ankle2
Radiologic assessment included tibial anterior surface angle (TAS), talar tilt angle (TT), and tibial lateral surface angle (TLS) preoperatively and at 3 months and 12 months postoperatively, and clinical assessment was performed using American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores, and ankle dorsiflexion-plantarflexion ROM including preoperative and 6 months postoperative and 12 months postoperative.

CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that SMOT was effective in correcting TAVD and significantly improving ankle function in adolescents, and that it is an efficient and successful method for restoring ankle joint congruence and normal hindfoot alignment. (bvsalud.org)
Syndrome1
8] This was followed by articles by Fowler and Williams, who each presented posterior tibial tendinitis as a syndrome, with the suggestion that surgical intervention may play a role in the treatment of this condition. (medscape.com)
Anterior1
If the hindfoot is flexible and a posterior release is not necessary, posterior tibial tendon transfer can be done as part of the initial procedure for severe anterior tibial weakness. (medscape.com)
Correction1
Results from a 1969 study by Kettelkamp and Alexander revealed that when patients demonstrated tendon rupture and surgical correction was delayed, a poor outcome with surgical exploration resulted. (medscape.com)
Foot1

Treatment1
When the hindfoot is flexible, early aggressive treatment with soft-tissue releases can delay the need for more extensive reconstructive procedures. (medscape.com)
