Description
Samuel Laurent, Rayane Benhenneda, Ramy Samargandi, and Jean Brilhault check in 2026 whether sparing one joint during flatfoot surgery pays off a decade later. Rigid flatfoot is often fixed by fusing the hindfoot's joints; the newer medial double fusion locks two joints and leaves the calcaneocuboid joint free, betting it will stay healthy.
The team reviewed seventeen feet in thirteen patients at least ten years after surgery, scoring function and pain and imaging the spared joint. A joint preserved only to wear out would make the gentler operation a false economy. Ten-year evidence is the only honest way to settle that bet.
