  • Medial Crease (MC) = 0
  • Curved Lateral Border (CLB) = 0.5

What is the Total Midfoot Score?

What is the Total Hindfoot Score?

What is the Total Pirani Score?

Is this patient ready to undergo Tenotomy?

Example 3[edit | edit source]

Based on the following Pirani Scores, which of these patients is ready for Tenotomy? [1]

Patient 1: CLB 0, LHT 0.5, MC 0, PC 0.5, RE 1.0, EH 1.0 Total Score = 3

Patient 2: CLB 0, LHT 0, MC 0, PC 1.0, RE 1.0, EH 1.0 Total Score = 3

Patient 3: CLB 0, LHT 0, MC 0.5, PC 1.0, RE 1.0, EH 0.5 Total Score = 3
