New surgery for flexible flat foot
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a modified surgical technique to fix a painful, flexible flat foot in adults who haven't improved with nonsurgical care. It may help by repairing a key ligament on the outside of the knee to support the arch.

This trial compares two surgical methods to correct flat feet in teenagers. The goal is to see which technique gives better results and helps reduce foot pain and improve function.
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.
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 trial tests a new implant to treat flexible flatfoot in children. It may help reduce pain and improve foot function during growth.
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 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.
