Using a small implant for flatfoot in growing kids
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a new implant to treat flexible flatfoot in children. It may help reduce pain and improve foot function during growth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have flatfoot that is flexible (not stiff) and causes symptoms like pain or tiredness.
- Your age is between 8 and 14 years old.
- Your flatfoot is not caused by another condition, like a birth defect, joint problem, or injury.

This study tracks how well a special reabsorbable implant works over time in children and teens who had subtalar surgery for flatfoot. You'll have an MRI to see how the implant has changed and if it helped your foot.
This study follows up with patients who had surgery to correct flat feet in childhood using special implants. Researchers want to see how well the surgery worked over 10 years and whether any changes occurred in the foot structure.
This trial tests a surgical technique that realigns the foot using a small bone block to correct a severe type of flatfoot. It may help improve foot shape and function in people whose deformity is getting worse.
This study tests whether placing a small implant in the sinus tarsi (a space in the side of the foot) during a standard flatfoot surgery helps improve the results. It's for adults with stage II adult acquired flatfoot deformity who have not improved with conservative care.
This trial compares two surgical methods to correct flexible flat feet in teenagers. One method uses a small implant to support the arch, and the other combines that with a bone realignment. The goal is to find which approach gives better results for teens whose flat feet haven't improved with non-surgical treatments.
