Biomechanical Changes to the Hindfoot After Zadek Osteotomy
Despite the clinical success demonstrated in recent literature, there are no biomechanical studies describing the effect of the ZO on the biomechanics of the hindfoot, and the mechanism of symptom relief of the ZO for IAT is not well understood. The present study measures two potential ZO effects relative to Haglund prominence by measuring retrocalcaneal pressure and displacement of the Achilles tendon with respect to the Haglund prominence, and measures one ZO effect relative to calcification of the tendon by measuring the Achilles tendon strain.
