Can you simply scan the foot and ankle when it is “hanging in space” ?

Dr. Richie shows what happens if you fail to properly position the patient when scanning for the Richie Brace®.

Options and pearls for supine and prone scanning are provided in this teaching video.

Removing forefoot supinauts is crucial when treating patients with PTTD.
Scroll down to watch training video with instructions for removing forefoot supinatus when casting.
Removing Forefoot Supinatus
For all patients with adult-acquired flatfoot:
  • Patient must be casted nonweight-bearing, neutral suspension technique
  • Be sure to push down on 1st ray and remove all forefoot supinatus (this is most important when treating PTTD)
Key Points of Biomechanical Control
  • Prevent internal rotation of the tibia which limits subluxation of the talonavicular joint
  • Prevent abduction of the forefoot
  • Preserve ankle joint motion when possible
Brace Recommendations
Modifications
  • 6mm medial heel skive
  • Lateral flange
  • For heavier patients: 4.0 poly shell material
  • For enhanced stiffness: flat rearfoot post replaces standard stabilizer bar and crepe arch filler
  • For severe forefoot abduction: add forefoot strap
  • Stage 4 deformity: severe valgus ankle with DJD of ankle and subtalar joints:
