Subtalar arthroeresis with peek endorthesis in juvanile flexible flafoot: Short-term results

Pediatr Med Chir. 2022 Oct 28;44(s1). doi: 10.4081/pmc.2022.301.

Abstract

A successful and minimally invasive treatment for adolescent flexible flatfoot is subtalar arthroeresis. This study examines the short-term results of subtalar arthroereisis with a new PEEK device (Pit'Stop®); additional research will be required to determine the device's true potential, but the preliminary findings are very encouraging, with a high success rate and a low complication rate (0.08).
