The Young tenosuspension in the treatment of abnormal pronation of the foot.

The intent of this retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Young tenosuspension for the control of abnormal subtalar joint pronation. Two series of 15 feet of patients aged 10 to 16 years were selected. Patients in the first series had been operated on with a combination of tendo Achillis lengthening and subtalar arthroereisis, while those of the second series had these same procedures along with a Young tenosuspension.
