Abstract

Background: Subtalar arthroereisis (SA) is an increasingly applied minimally invasive approach for flexible flat foot (FFF) not responsive to conservative treatment. This study aimed at evaluating the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of SA in pediatric patients with symptomatic FFF.

Methods: Thirty-seven patients (11.9 ± 1.6yy) underwent SA (74 feet), with outcomes assessed after a mean 10-year follow-up. Pain, quality of life, foot functionality, and alignment were evaluated using validated tools and radiographic parameters, calculated on weightbearing x-rays pre- and post-operatively.

Results: Clinical outcomes reached excellent postoperative results (FFI: 9.1, AOFAS: 94.5) with a low 0.9 NRS pain (p < 0.01) and a 92 % satisfaction. All radiographic parameters improved significantly towards normal values: CP 17.5 ± 3.9, MA 4.3 ± 5.8, TCA 42.8 ± 6.2, TNCA 21.1 ± 8.5, TNU% 26.6 ± 8.4 (all p < 0.01).

Conclusions: SA with a metallic endosinotarsal device provided significant long-term clinical and radiographic improvements, with low complication rates and high patient satisfaction, supporting its efficacy as a treatment option for pediatric symptomatic FFF.

Level of evidence: IV.

对有症状的灵活扁平足儿童患者而言，使用金属植入物进行踝关节置换术是一种安全有效的治疗方法。10年临床和放射学随访。

背景：对于保守治疗无效的柔性扁平足（FFF），踝关节置换术（SA）是一种应用日益广泛的微创方法。本研究旨在评估SA对有症状的儿童扁平足患者的长期临床和影像学疗效：37名患者（11.9±1.6yy）接受了SA手术（74只脚），平均随访10年后对结果进行评估。结果：术后临床疗效极佳：临床结果：术后效果极佳（FFI：9.1，AOFAS：94.5），NRS 疼痛低至 0.9（P 结论：术后疼痛轻微：使用金属趾跖内固定器进行SA治疗可显著改善长期临床和影像学效果，并发症发生率低，患者满意度高，支持其作为治疗小儿无症状FFF的有效方法：证据等级：IV。
