Hello

I've heard of a new and very successful orthesis for patients with
gross valgus deformity of the foot as a result of tibialis posterior
tendon failure, where surgery is not appropriate. It involves the use
of a lower leg brace (beginning just below the knee) attached and
hinged to an ankle stabilizer. A patient-specific insole is inserted
into the the ankle stabiliser and the stabilizer is inserted into a
standard sport shoe.

A couple of images of the brace and stabilizer are here

Has anyone heard of this treatment? Does anyone have any experiece as
to how well it works? If the patient has pain in the knee because of
years of walking with an incorrectly aligned leg, would this also help
realign the knee? Any thoughts most welcome!
