“…There are few previous studies that have focused on tendoscopy in PTTD treatment, and the evidence provided up to now remains of low quality. 3,12 Historically, the first series of 16 patients was described by van Dijk et al, 56 who performed diagnostic and therapeutic tendoscopy for different causes (such as chronic tenosynovitis and vincula removal) and reported encouraging results in symptom relief and subjective improvement. Thereafter, the efficacy of tendoscopy in stage I has been documented by many authors, even if in small series.…”

“…According to the literature, flexible flatfoot (stage II TPTD) is firstly approached using orthotics that have proven useful in some studies. 42 , 43 In cases of failure, a minimally-invasive tendoscopic synovectomy 44 with the possibility of reconstructing the calcaneo-navicular plantar ligament 45 has also been proposed, but its efficacy is still not validated. Thus, traditional surgery remains the most popular choice.…”

Subtalar arthroereisis has been reported as a minimally-invasive, effective and low-risk procedure in the treatment of flatfoot mainly in children but also in adults.It has been described as a standalone or adjunctive procedure, and is indicated in the treatment of flexible flatfoot, tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction, tarsal coalition and accessory navicular syndrome.Different devices for subtalar arthroereisis are currently used throughout the world associated with soft-tissue and bone procedures, depending on the surgeon rather than on standardised or validated protocols.Sinus tarsi pain is the most frequent complication, often requiring removal of the implant.To date, poor-quality evidence is available in the literature (Level IV and V), with only one comparative non-randomised study (Level II) not providing strong recommendations. Long-term outcome and complication rates (especially the onset of osteoarthritis) are still unclear.Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2017;2:438–446. DOI: 10.1302/2058-5241.2.170009

“…The modified Coleman Methodology Score (mCMS) was used to assess the quality of studies included, as in a previous investigation on foot and ankle pathology. 1 The mCMS ranges from 0 to 100, with 85 considered excellent, 70 to 84 good, 50 to 69 moderate, and <50 considered poor. Two investigators performed the mCMS twice (M.C.…”

Background: Plantar fasciopathy is a common orthopaedic condition that affects athletes and limits their performance. Purpose: To conduct a scoping review of the literature to summarize the evidence provided so far for the management of plantar fasciopathy in elite athletes and identify potential gaps in the current knowledge. Study Design: Scoping review; Level of evidence, 5. Methods: This scoping review followed the 6-stage methodological framework of Arksey and O’Malley and was registered in the Open Science Framework. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were used to identify eligible articles. After charting of data, studies were pooled into 3 categories: epidemiological/diagnostic studies, outcome research focused on plantar fasciitis or partial tears, and studies on the rupture of the plantar fascia. The modified Coleman Methodology Score was used to assess the quality of included articles. Results: Of 742 initial studies, 10 were selected (109 patients): 8 level 4 articles and 2 level 5 articles. In 4 studies (91 athletes), potential risk factors were discussed but not investigated (ie, preexistent thickening of the fascia, spike shoes, varus hindfoot/knee alignment). In 3 studies (6 athletes) focusing on plantar fasciitis, the nonsurgical treatment led to a satisfactory but poorly documented outcome. In 3 studies (12 athletes), the rupture of the fascia was treated nonoperatively with contrasting results, while surgery was performed only in 2 cases. The mean modified Coleman Methodology Score was 19 (range, 3-42), demonstrating overall poor methodology. Conclusion: The limited number of studies and their poor quality do not allow to define the gold standard treatment of plantar fasciopathy in elite athletes. Until high-quality studies are provided, clinicians have to rely on the available literature regarding the nonprofessional or nonathletic population to make the best evidence-based decision.
