Unilateral secondary flat-foot in children is unusual, and in the absence of a major trauma history should raise suspicion of a neuromuscular etiology. Flatfoot from tibialis posterior tendon (TPT) rupture in children is very rare.
A 10-year-old girl presented with unilateral flatfoot and unusual shoe wear of few years duration. A TPT rupture was diagnosed. After observing a 3-4 mm superficial scar behind medial malleolus, and after a lot of questioning, her mother remembered an abrasion she had sustained 6 years ago playing in a park.She was successfully treated by flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer and obtained and maintained a nice longitudinal arch.
TPT rupture in children may happen by a minor laceration or trauma and be only recognized after developing flatfoot. FHL tendon transfer can restore the arch even in late cases.
儿童单侧继发性扁平足并不常见,在没有重大创伤史的情况下,应怀疑存在神经肌肉病因。儿童胫后肌腱(TPT)断裂导致的扁平足非常罕见。
一名10岁女孩出现单侧扁平足及持续数年的异常鞋磨损情况。诊断为TPT断裂。在内踝后方观察到一条3 - 4毫米的浅表瘢痕,经过大量询问后,她的母亲记起6年前她在公园玩耍时受过一次擦伤。她通过拇长屈肌(FHL)肌腱转移术成功治愈,获得并维持了良好的纵弓。
儿童TPT断裂可能由轻微撕裂伤或创伤引起,且仅在出现扁平足后才被发现。即使在晚期病例中,FHL肌腱转移也能恢复足弓。
