Abstract
Concomitant valgus deformities of the ankle joint are found in approximately 3% of patients with symptomatic flatfoot deformities. Conservative treatment is mostly successful only in the short term or in low-demand patients. The operative treatment of flatfoot deformities follows the standard algorithm for flatfoot treatment. The ankle joint can be treated while retaining mobility or by arthrodesis depending on the degree and rigidity of the deformity, degenerative changes, patient factors and expectations. Achieving an orthograde hindfoot and midfoot is obligatory for successful treatment as well as in ankle reconstructive or arthrodesis procedures.
