However, the SOM is involved in many other functions of the human body and is much more complex than the first glance in the anatomy book makes it appear.

Pre And Postoperative Use of Force Platform in Hallux Valgus Surgery-Case Report-Juniper Publishers

Juniper Publishers We tried to analyze the importance of information’s obtained using a force platform in objective functional assessment of Scarf osteotomy in hallux valgus surgery. The aim was to obtain a normal architecture of the foot by restoring the normal relations of the first ray and the mobility in the first metatarso-phalangeal articulation. We used the AMTI Accu Gate force platform to analyze pre and postoperative force reaction of the foot succeeding Scarf osteotomy of the first metatarsal. Using the Scarf technique, we were able to restore the normal alignment of the forefoot. Data from the force platform revealed modifications of force reaction components of both leg in contrast with the pedobarographic studies. So, it is important that the technique chosen for correction should reestablish the normal parameters in all 3 space planes.
