Abstract |
Purpose |
The goal of this study was to identify rotational abnormalities of the lower limb in adult patients with primary symptomatic flatfoot.
Materials and methods |
From September 2009 to May 2012, 24 patients (12 women, 12 men; mean age: 40 years) were prospectively included in the study. Each patient underwent radiographs of the flat foot and weight-bearing upright EOS® examination. Three-dimensional reconstructions of the lower extremities were performed with derived measurements (length, hip and knee parameters, rotations). A total of 31 symptomatic primary flat feet (bilateral flat foot, n=7 patients; unilateral flat foot, n=17 patients) were studied and compared to 30 control subjects matched for age and gender. A comparison between the two groups was made with the Student t-test.
Results |
No significant differences were found between patients and control subjects on the coronal and sagittal planes. Similarly, no significant differences were observed between the 2 groups for rotation of the lower limbs (femoral torsion, tibial torsion, tibiofemoral rotation).
Conclusion |
There are no rotational abnormalities of the lower extremities in adult patients with primary symptomatic flat foot.
