Abstract:
PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to quantify limitations in sagittal ankle range of motion (ROM) at least two years after lateral column lengthening osteotomy of the calcaneus (LLC) and their implications regarding quality of life. METHODS:Fifteen patients with a mean follow-up of 80 ± 27 months after LLC and 15 age-matched healthy persons participated in this study. Ankle joint complex ROM in plantarflexion and dorsiflexion was measured bilaterally using a goniometer and fluoroscopy (patients only). Quality of life was assessed using the short-form health questionnaire (SF36). Differences in ROM parameters (for the tibiotalar and subtalar joint) between sides (affected vs. unaffected) and between groups (patient vs. controls) and the relationship between ROM parameters and quality of life scores were assessed. RESULTS:ROM of the ankle joint complex on the affected side in patients was smaller than on the contralateral side (goniometer and fluoroscopy) and in healthy persons (goniometer; all P < .05). Among patients, SF36 total and pain scores, respectively, correlated with ROM of the subtalar joint (fluoroscopy; R = 0.379, P = 0.039 and R = 0.537, P = 0.001). Among patients and healthy persons, those with smaller dorsiflexion (goniometer) had lower quality of life scores. CONCLUSIONS:The smaller sagittal ROM of the affected ankle joint complex compared with the contralateral foot and healthy controls was mainly explained by limitations in the tibiotalar joint. Because of its association with quality of life, ROM should be considered in the treatment and rehabilitation planning in patients who are candidates for LLC.
