Our understanding of the cause and principles of treatment of progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) has significantly evolved in recent decades. The goals of treatment remain improvement in symptoms, correction of deformity, maintenance of joint motion, and return of function. Although notable advancements in understanding the deformity have been made, complications still occur and typically result from (1) poor decision making, (2) technical errors, and (3) patient-related conditions. In this article, we discuss common surgical modalities used in the treatment of PCFD and further highlight the common complications that occur and the techniques that can be used to prevent them.
