The patient is a 75yrs female having had a lapidus procedure 3mths go. The surgeon has said it has not gone as planned, she has come to see me as her arch hurts and she feels as if she is in her word rotating collapsing in on the arch.
When I looked at her the surgery has healed well, 1st digit is now shorter than the 2nd , no range of motion at the MPJ at all and a very flat foot which the patient say flatted before the op ( post tib dysfunction acquired adult flat foot ?) the other foot has a hallux valgus and bunion with a good medium arch.
The patient initially went to see the surgeon as she was losing her balance and falling over. He been a surgeon did what surgeons do and operated on her.
I find myself thinking .
1. Did she have post tib dysfunction pre-surgery as she say or is it a result of the surgery, she is convinced pre- surgery.
2. The surgery has taken place and cannot be reversed , so what can help?
3. Accommodative orthotic with deep heel cup, medial and lateral flange. Rt foot
4. Left as needed.
At this point a full bio has not been performed that is next week I am just having some quite time and reflecting, and trying to think of the best treatment for the patient, any help would be greatly appreciated to provide best care possible.

They'll see a foot as flat only in static. They cannot see the windlass. If there is no ROM at the 1st MPJ the may have been some supination moment from windlass which they've now lost and the PT may be taking up the slack.
Loss of balance. Aquired flat foot pre op. Questionable neurology?

What does collapsing on the arch mean? It hurts to bear weight? Knowing what the problem is really helps.
What anatomical structure of the Arch? Fascia? Bony? Muscle?

Often PT dysfunction patients have a bunion. Certainly plausible.

I wonder if there was any discussion on how the surgery would help the falling over problem?

If there is a PT dysfunction a varus heel wedge should be helpful. Position of the STJ axis?
More info needed.
