BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between Weightbearing CT (WBCT) markers of pronounced peritalar subluxation (PTS) and MRI findings of soft tissue insufficiency in patients with flexible Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD). We hypothesized that significant correlation would be found. METHODS: Retrospective comparative study with 54 flexible PCFD patients. WBCT and MRI variables deformity severity were evaluated, including markers of pronounced PTS, as well as soft tissue degeneration. A multiple regression analysis and partition prediction models were used to evaluate the relationship between bone alignment and soft tissue injury. P-values of less than .05 were considered significant. RESULTS: Degeneration of the posterior tibial tendon was significantly associated with sinus tarsi impingement (p = .04). Spring ligament degeneration correlated to subtalar joint subluxation (p = .04). Talocalcaneal interosseous ligament involvement was the only one to significantly correlate to the presence of subfibular impingement (p = .02). CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated that WBCT markers of pronounced deformity and PTS were significantly correlated to MRI involvement of the PTT and other important restraints such as the spring and talocalcaneal interosseus ligaments. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Retrospective comparative study.
