Long-Term Outcomes of Childhood Flatfoot Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had bilateral subtalar arthrorisis surgery (surgery on both feet to correct flatfoot) with endorthesis and calcaneal stop implants
- You were part of a previous flatfoot treatment study led by Prof. Giannini at Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli
- You are still being followed at Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli (the hospital in Italy where you had surgery)
- You have not had any additional foot or ankle surgeries since your original flatfoot surgery

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 trial tests a new implant to treat flexible flatfoot in children. It may help reduce pain and improve foot function during growth.
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 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 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.
