ABSTRACT

The objective of this work is to assess the efficacy of conservative treatment with orthopedic insoles in Müller-Weiss disease (EMW). The plantar support aims to pronounce the hindfoot and immobilize the talo-navicular, and naviculo-cuneiform joints or both at the same time, as an alternative to the valguizing osteotomy of the calcaneus and arthrodesis. The clinical and radiological characteristics of 10 cases of EMW in 8 patients under study are analyzed and the results obtained are evaluated. The manufacturing process of the plantar supports is commented, as well as the materials used. The sample size is not significant, however, preliminary, conservative treatment is possible in certain cases of EMW to relieve pain, improve gait dynamics and limit disease progression in the short-term.
