    Abstract: Peritalar subluxation (PTS) is part of progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD). This study aimed to evaluate initial deformity correction and PTS optimization in PCFD patients with flexible hindfoot deformity undergoing hindfoot joint-sparing surgical procedures and its relationship with improvements in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at latest follow-up. We hypothesized that significant deformity/PTS correction would be observed postoperatively, positively correlating with improved PROMs. Methods: A prospective comparative study was performed with 26 flexible PCFD patients undergoing hindfoot joint-sparing reconstructive procedures, mean age 47.1 years (range, 18-77). We assessed weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT) overall deformity (foot and ankle offset [FAO]) and PTS markers (distance and coverage maps) at 3 months, as well as PROMs at final follow-up. A multivariate regression model assessed the influence of initial deformity correction and PTS optimization in patient-reported outcomes. Results: Mean follow-up was 19.9 months (6-39), and the average number of procedures performed was 4.8 (2-8). FAO improved from 9.4% (8.4-10.9) to 1.9% (1.1-3.6) postoperatively ( P  〈  .0001). Mean coverage improved by 69.6% ( P = .012), 12.1% ( P = .0343) and 5.2% ( P = .0074) in, respectively, the anterior, middle, and posterior facets, whereas the sinus tarsi coverage decreased by an average 57.1% ( P  〈  .0001) postoperatively. Improvements in patient-reported outcomes were noted for all scores assessed ( P  〈  .03). The multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that improvement in both FAO and PTS measurements significantly influenced the assessed PROMs. Conclusion: This study demonstrated significant improvements in the overall 3D deformity, PTS markers, and PROMs following hindfoot joint-sparing surgical treatment in patients with flexible PCFD. More importantly, initial 3D deformity correction and improvement in subtalar joint coverage and extraarticular impingement have been shown to influence PROMs significantly and positively. Addressing these variables should be considered as goals when treating PCFD. Level of Evidence: Level II, prospective cohort study.
