Replantation of the midfoot in a child - Six-year follow-up with pedobarographic analysis

A 22-month old child underwent successful replantation of her midfoot at th e level of Chopart's joint after a traumatic lawn mower amputation. The chi ld demonstrated good sensation and function. Heel-to-toe length was 2 cm sh orter, along with anterior migration of the heel pad on the injured foot. P edobarographic analysis at 6-year follow-up demonstrated a normal range in the dynamic distribution of foot pressure measurements, except in the regio n of the medial heel. With replantation more commonly considered as an opti on in traumatic injuries, long-term functional evaluation is important in d emonstrating the success of a replantation. The patient demonstrated a good result at 6-year follow-up, but will need further evaluation until skeleta l maturity is reached.
