Introduction: The aim of the present systematic literature review was to determine results and complications in subtalar arthroereisis for stage-2 adult-acquired flatfoot.

Method: A search of the PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane and Embase databases used MeSH terms "arthroereisis" AND "flatfoot" OR "adult-acquired flatfoot" OR "pes planovalgus" OR "pes planus". Two of the authors analyzed 125 articles. After reading titles and Abstracts, 105 articles were read in full text and their references were analyzed. Finally, 12 articles were selected and divided into 2 groups: isolated and associated arthroereisis.

Results: Improvement in functional scores was greater in associated arthroereisis. Whether isolated or associated, arthroereisis achieved radiologic correction. However, the rate of complications was high, mainly concerning tarsal sinus pain.

Conclusion: Subtalar arthroereisis for stage-2 adult-acquired flatfoot is rarely performed in isolation. When it is associated to other procedures, good radiologic and clinical results can be expected.

Level Of Evidence: IV.

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.

Background: Flexible flatfoot is a normal finding in infants and the arch is shaped spontaneously in most children before the age of 10 years. Flexible flatfoot is a common deformity in both adolescent and adult populations.

Objective: This prospective study aims to assess the functional and radiological outcomes of subtalar arthroereisis in adolescent patients with symptomatic flexible flatfoot.

Introduction:  Paediatric flexible flatfoot (PFFF) is a common, potentially debilitating condition affecting a significant proportion of active children. Despite its prevalence, there is a lack of consensus on optimal operative management in symptomatic children. We report a unique case series of six feet treated with the Arthrex ProStop Subtalar Arthroeresis Screw (Arthrex, UK) in the North West of England.

Background: Symptomatic adult flatfeet are a common problem that is treated with various therapeutic approaches. In this study, three different surgical approaches, subtalar arthroereisis (SA), medializing calcaneal osteotomy (MDCO) and a combination of both techniques (SA+MDCO) were analyzed.

Methods: 32 patients (36 feet) with pes planovalgus (mean age 49 +/- 16 years) were surgically treated with either SA (n = 8 feet), MDCO (n = 9 feet) or SA+MDCO (n = 19 feet).

Background: Flatfoot is a common foot disorder involving progressive foot deformity of the three-dimensional structures of the forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot. Currently, Chinese surgeons and patients favor subtalar arthroereisis (SA) due to its minimally invasive and low-damage characteristics. HyProCure device is widely used.
