Subtalar arthroereisis has been reported as a minimally-invasive, effective and low-risk procedure in the treatment of flatfoot mainly in children but also in adults.It has been described as a standalone or adjunctive procedure, and is indicated in the treatment of flexible flatfoot, tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction, tarsal coalition and accessory navicular syndrome.Different devices for subtalar arthroereisis are currently used throughout the world associated with soft-tissue and bone procedures, depending on the surgeon rather than on standardised or validated protocols.Sinus tarsi pain is the most frequent complication, often requiring removal of the implant.To date, poor-quality evidence is available in the literature (Level IV and V), with only one comparative non-randomised study (Level II) not providing strong recommendations. Long-term outcome and complication rates (especially the onset of osteoarthritis) are still unclear. : 2017;2:438-446. DOI: 10.1302/2058-5241.2.170009.

Efficacy of Functional Re-Education as a Treatment for Infantile Flexible Flatfoot: Systematic Review.

Background: Flexible pediatric flatfoot is an anatomical presentation of the foot that is common in children, and its functional impact raises long-term uncertainty. Functional re-education includes strengthening and stretching exercises for the intrinsic and extrinsic musculature of the foot, proposed as an effective conservative treatment. However, to date, there is no systematic review examining its effectiveness in the pediatric population.

Flexible flatfoot is common among school-age children and significantly affects walking efficiency, balance stability, and joint-movement coordination in children. The demands on the skeletal structure and muscle function are increased during running; however, the impact of a flexible flatfoot on children's running capabilities is unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of flexible flatfoot on the running function of school-age children.

Subtalar arthroereisis (AR) is a minimally invasive procedure that corrects FFF by limiting excessive pronation of the subtalar joint. Two main techniques exist: endosinotarsal AR, which involves placing an implant in the sinus tarsi, and exosinotarsal AR, which uses a screw external to the sinus tarsi.

Although the connection between muscular strength and flatfoot condition is well-established, the impact of corrective exercises on these muscles remains inadequately explored. This study aimed to assess the impact of intrinsic- versus extrinsic-first corrective exercise programs on muscle morphometry and navicular drop in boys with flexible flatfoot. Twenty-five boys aged 10-12 with flexible flatfoot participated, undergoing a 12-week corrective exercise program, with a shift in focus at six weeks.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, 600 Yishan Road, Shanghai, 200233, China.
Purpose: To investigate the treatment outcomes of subtalar arthroereisis (SA) in progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) patients, to assess the clinical efficacy in PCFD patients after HyProCure removal, and to evaluate safety and effectiveness of SA.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 202 cases (213 feet) of PCFD patients treated with SA from June 2015 to December 2022 were selected. General data and surgical information were recorded, and clinical efficacy was evaluated through imaging and clinical indicators.
