Background: Reduced hindfoot eversion motion has been proposed as a cause of increased lateral foot pressure following lateral column lengthening (LCL) for progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD). A subjective intraoperative assessment of passive eversion has been suggested to help evaluate correction; however, it is unclear how passive eversion correlates with objective measurements of foot stiffness. Our objectives were to quantify the relationship between the maximum passive eversion in hindfoot joints following LCL with plantar pressure during stance and to determine the influence of wedge size on these outcomes. Methods: Ten cadaveric specimens extending from the mid-tibia distally were tested on a 6-degrees-of-freedom robot to simulate the stance phase of level walking. Five conditions were tested: intact, simulated PCFD, and 3 LCL wedge conditions (4, 6, and 8 mm). Outcomes included the lateral-to-medial forefoot plantar pressure (LM) ratio during stance and the maximum passive eversion measured in the hindfoot joints. Simple linear regressions were performed to evaluate relationships between outcomes and wedge sizes. Results: A strong negative relationship was found between passive subtalar eversion and the LM ratio during stance (r[38] = 20.46; p = 0.0007), but not between passive talonavicular eversion and the LM ratio (r[38] = 20.02; p = 0.37). Wedge size was strongly related to subtalar eversion (r[38] = 20.77; p < 0.0001), talonavicular eversion (r[38] = 20.55; p = 0.0003), and the LM ratio (r[38] = 0.70; p < 0.0001). Increased wedge size resulted in average decreases in subtalar and talonavicular eversion of 1.0° (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.8° to 1.3°) and 1.2° (95% CI: 0.6° to 1.6°), respectively. Increased wedge size also increased the LM ratio by 0.38 (95% CI: 0.25 to 0.50), indicating a lateral shift in plantar pressure. Conclusions: Decreased hindfoot eversion following LCL was related to increased lateral plantar pressure during stance. Increasing wedge size correlated with decreasing passive hindfoot eversion and increasing lateral plantar pressure, suggesting that intraoperative preservation of eversion motion may be important for preventing excessive lateral loading. Clinical Relevance: To avoid overcorrection or undercorrection of the deformity, hindfoot eversion assessment in addition to radiographic evaluation may be important for optimizing the amount of lengthening to achieve successful LCL.
