The Lateral Column

Beth Jarrett et al. Clin Podiatr Med Surg. 2020 Jan.

Abstract

Lower extremity biomechanics is the cornerstone of podiatric medicine and surgery. The foot and ankle act as the interface between the ground and proximal segments, mediating internal and external moments Although the medial longitudinal arch has been widely researched, the details of the lateral longitudinal arch are less extensively delineated. The purpose of this review is to analyze the biomechanics of the lateral column as it relates to lower extremity biomechanics and function.

Keywords: Arch collapse; Biomechanics; Calcaneocuboid joint; Fifth ray; High gear; Lateral column function; Low gear.
