Abstract
PurposeTo verify the concept of adult acquired flat foot following ACL rupture by Podogram method comparing injured and non injured sides. Material and methodFrom January 2017 to July 2017, Patients who had unilateral and chronic ACL rupture, confirmed clinically and on MRI, formed the material of present study. In all the patients who could stand a Podogram was obtained of foot on a Graph paper including both injured and uninjured sides. On the podograms the area occupied by weight bearing portion of foot was measured. ResultsTotal number of patients studied were 23. Total number of podograms were 46. The mean value of area occupied on podogram on injured and non injured side were 115.26 and 102.36 respectively. The range of difference between the podograms of both limbs (ACL ruptured and normal) was 0.00 cm2–43.75 cm2 calculated p value was 0.0109 which was statistically significant. ConclusionThe Podogram data of ACL ruptured limb and uninjured contralateral limb are in support of our hypothesis of Adult Acquired Flat foot in ACL ruptured patients.
