ABSTRACT
Purpose:
This study aimed to determine the anatomical parameters of successful Sustentaculum Tali (ST) screw placement in the Asian population.Method:
CT scans of unilateral feet of 110 participants were reviewed, retrospectively. The 3 D reconstruction of the calcaneus and morphometric measurements were performed by Mimics Research 19.0 and 3-Matic Research 11.0. Finally, six cadaveric feet were used for verification of the accuracy of the measurements.Results:
We discovered a method to help place ST screw successfully (1) The entry point located at the middle section of the lateral wall of posterior talar articular surface (PTAS), and the perpendicular distance from the entry point to the lateral edge of PTAS (PDEL) was 10.78 mm, (2) Screw was perpendicular to the z-axis, 66.98° to the y-axis (the longitudinal axis of the foot), (3) The length of the ST screw should be approximately 44.74 mm in male and 41.14 mm in female, and (4) The diameter of the ST screw should be approximately 4.0 mm in male and 3.5 mm in female. With this new method, all screws in six cadaveric feet were placed successfully into the middle of ST.Conclusions:
In this study, we discovered a general approach to safely place ST screws in the Asian population, which may potentially help surgeons improve their success rate in surgical practice.Palavras-chave
