When sleeping, the heel of the surgical foot should always remain off of the bed. Lengthening the lateral column of the foot has been shown to correct flatfoot deformity. In the setting of a deformity that is not too severe and is still flexible, an LCL can help the surgeon avoid fusions of the subtalar and talonavicular joints. Therefore, the lateral column lengthening procedure involves lengthening this region.

If the first metatarsal is elevated, it should be brought down to a good position in comparison to the second metatarsal head. If, on a simulated AP weight-bearing view with the eversion stress, there is adduction at the talonavicular joint or there is almost no eversion in the hindfoot, the foot is overcorrected. Dissect at the midportion of the incision to find the floor of the sinus tarsi, taking care to avoid and stay above the peroneal tendons and sural nerve. This site needs JavaScript to work properly.

Radiographically, the abduction should be corrected so that there is a normal amount of uncoverage of the talar head (30% or less), and no adduction of the talonavicular joint. The guiding principle behind the lateral column lengthening is to bring the forefoot and midfoot out of abduction while using the foot's natural bony architecture to drive the hindfoot into inversion and dorsiflexion. That situation will lead to an unsatisfied patient with lateral weight bearing. Right Hallux valgus J Bone Joint Surg Am.

Inability to perform a single-leg heel raise (heel should invert). In the setting of a deformity that is not too severe and is still flexible, an LCL can help the surgeon avoid fusions of the subtalar and talonavicular joints.
