Abstract

Adult-acquired flatfoot deformity is a common foot and ankle problem, it is more common in females during 6th decade of life, which is mainly caused by posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD). The management of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) has proven to be difficult, as evidenced by the multitude of conservative and surgical treatment options available for its treatment Evans calcaneal osteotomy is a common procedure for treating the flexible calcaneovalgus foot in a variety of patients. We systematic review clinical and radiological outcomes of evans calcaneal osteotomy in treatment of adult acquired flatfoot deformity. The results of this study form the basis for a better understanding of clinical and radiological outcomes of Evans calcaneal osteotomy in treatment of adult acquired flat foot deformity, but for further comparative clinical studies with other surgical options and for long follow-up periods.
