Arthroereisis Versus Lateral Column Lengthening in the Treatment of Planovalgus Feet

NCT02055495 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 15

Last updated 2014-08-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There is no consensus on the surgical treatment of unremitting, painful flatfeet in children. Subtalar arthroereisis has gained notoriety although there is a paucity of literature on its biomechanical effects. The goal of the investigators was to compare a group treated with subtalar arthroereisis with another group undergoing lateral column calcaneal lengthening. The investigators hypothesis was that the results of arthroereisis would be equivalent to the more established method of calcaneal lengthening.
