An adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) is a complex 3D deformity. Surgical correction consists of a medial calcaneal osteotomy (MCO) but shows limitations due to the current 2D assessment. Therefore, the aim is to determine the influence of an MCO on the longitudinal foot arch assessed by 2D and 3D weightbearing CT (WBCT). Seventeen patients with a mean age of 44,5 years (range 18–66 yrs) were retrospectively included. MCO was indicated in a stage II AAFD (N=15) and a post-traumatic valgus deformity (N=2). Pre- and post-operative imaging was obtained from a WBCT. The height of the longitudinal foot arch was measured as the distance from the navicular tuberositas to the floor (Navicular Height, NH) on 2D CT images (NH_2D) and computed on 3D CT data (NH_3D). Additionally, 3D assessment could compute the degree of exorotation (α) of the navicular bone towards the vertical axis. The mean pre-operative NH_2D and NH_3D were respectively 29.57mm ± 7.59 and 28.34mm ± 6.51. These showed to be statistically different from the mean post-operative NH_2D and NH_3D, respectively 31.62mm ± 6.69 and 31.67mm ± 6.47 (p < 0,001). A statistical difference was also found when comparing the mean degree of exorotation in pre- and post-operative, respectively: α_pre=14.08° ± 4,92 and the α_post=19,88° ± 3.50 (p < 0,001). This study demonstrates a significant correction of the longitudinal foot arch after a MCO. The novelty is attributed to the accurate degree of rotation assessment using WBCT. This information could be assistive to optimise a pre-operative planning.
