About this study

The SURGERY of arthrosis of the subtalar joint, carried out between 9 and 12 years of age, the aim is to restore and maintain the physiological alignment between the talus and the calcaneus during bone maturation.

There are few articles in the literature that talk about the return to sport of pediatric patients after surgery. The aim of the study is to review patients operated on remotely kick heel and describe how they return in their sports (resilience, type of activities carried out, recovery times). The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and functional results of patients of age Pediatric treated in the investigator's SC Orthopedics Pediatric Traumatology department for flat feet with "calcaneostop" surgery. The study aims to describe the method of resuming sports activities, analyzing the timing and difficulties declared by patients after surgery, with the help of specific questionnaires.

    Also called arthrosis of the subtalar joint

    arthrosis of the subtalar joint with a screw in the talus bone to stop pathological pronation of the heel

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Patiens Able to Return to Sport After Surgery

    timing, sport level, resilience

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. plantar arch index

    The plantar arch index establishes a relationship between the central and posterior regions of the footprint, and it is calculated as follows:A line is drawn tangent to the medial forefoot edge and at the heel region.

    The mean point of this line is calculated. From this mean point, a perpendicular line is drawn crossing the footprint. The same procedure is repeated at the heel tangency. Measurements are obtained of the width of the central region of the footprint (A) and of the heel region (B) in millimeters.

    The plantar arch index is calculated by dividing the A value by B (PAI = A/B).

    Measured: 1 year
