Videos | Cobb procedure for acquired flatfoot deformity | Which Medical Device
This procedure was described in the UK by Cobb and used to treat an acquired flatfoot deformity due to tibialis posterior insufficiency.
The technique involves the splitting of the tibialis anterior tendon which is passed through the medial cuneiform or the tibialis posterior insertion, then through the tibialis posterior sheath and attached to the tibialis posterior stump proximally. This gives a large, strong reconstruction.
