title: [Reconstructive foot surgery following complex trauma of the foot].
abstract: Compound post-traumatic foot deformity may follow indirect, direct, or combined trauma. This is demonstrated by a number of case reports. Particularly during adolescence, primary injuries to the soft tissue, with neurovascular injury or compartment syndrome, and post-traumatic skin contractures can cause severe growth deformity at the site of the injury and distal to it. Compression screw arthrodesis, using the 6.5-mm cancellous screw with the triple arthrodesis and the 3.5-mm cortical screw with the Lisfranc arthrodesis, has particular significance. It is stable, it allows functional treatment later, and bone union takes place rapidly. The most important surgical principles in post-traumatic foot surgery are: precise reconstruction of the foot axes, the medial and lateral foot length, and the longitudinal and transverse arches, i.e., restitution of the normal foot anatomy.
