Analysis of the results of surgical treatment of plano-valgus foot deformation in children and adolescent.

Background: Plano-valgus deformity of the feet is a common reason for contacting an orthopedist. In pediatric orthopedics, technologies are used that do not violate the physiological growth of the patient, in particular, subtalar arthroeresis. Aims: The choice of optimal methods of correction of foot deformity in children and adolescents. Analysis of the results of surgical treatment. Methods. In the period from 2013 to 2022, 482 patients were operated on for flat-foot deformity. subtalar arthroeresis surgery was performed in 405 cases in various combinations. Results. Unsatisfactory results were noted in 14 patients (3.4%). Conclusion. The technique of subtalar arthroeresis, as a low-traumatic, does not interfere with the physiological growth of the foot skeleton, does not limit physiological loads after surgical treatment, is actively used in childhood and adolescence. The peculiarity of the subtalar arthroeresis in a patient with physiological growth of the foot skeleton is a high.
