The arthroereisis procedure in adult flexible flatfoot grade IIA due to insufficiency of posterior tibial tendon

Highlights • Surgery for flexible adult flatfoot deformity has been advocated for years. • There are less than 20 published studies that evaluate the outcome of this type of surgery. • We found significant improvements in AOFAS and VAS-FA from pre-operative to 34 months after surgery for flatfoot. •...

Summary:Highlights • Surgery for flexible adult flatfoot deformity has been advocated for years. • There are less than 20 published studies that evaluate the outcome of this type of surgery. • We found significant improvements in AOFAS and VAS-FA from pre-operative to 34 months after surgery for flatfoot. • Arthroereisis and tensioning of the posterior tibial tendon provided good functional outcomes for patients under 60 years of age having stage IIA flexible flatfoot without arthritic manifestations.
