Abstract
A patient with rheumatoid arthritis and a flexible rocker-bottom foot deformity underwent surgery including flexor digitorum longus transfer, spring ligament reconstruction, and lateral column lengthening using calcaneocuboid distraction arthrodesis, while preserving the talonavicular and subtalar joints. Correction was achieved with restoration of the medial longitudinal arch, and clinical outcome scores improved at the final follow-up (1 year postoperatively). This case suggests that, even in patients with inflammatory joint diseases presenting with rocker-bottom foot deformity, reconstruction preserving the talonavicular and subtalar joints may be considered as a treatment option when disease activity is adequately controlled with pharmacotherapy and the talonavicular and subtalar joints are not destroyed, as in the present case.
