Dear Editor:
We thank Dr Myerson for his interest in our recent article
“Preliminary Outcomes of Calcaneal Lengthening in
Adolescent Flatfoot in Müller-Weiss Disease”1 and we carefully
read his comments. To begin with, the authors understand
the conflicts that may be raised by this newly
introduced approach for treating selected cases of this complicated
problem of Müller-Weiss Disease (MWD). The
rationale of treatment was presented in the discussion.
Indeed, multiple controversies continue regarding its etiology,
pathophysiology, natural history, and the optimal methods
of treatment.
