Resection of Calcaneonavicular and Talocalcaneal Coalitions With Surgical Correction of the Hindfoot Valgus Deformity in One Step.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Calcaneonavicular (CNC) and talocalcaneal (TCC) coalitions are the most common cause of rigid flatfoot in children. After resection, correction of the most frequent valgus-hindfoot deformity usually requires a second-step surgery. We report results of a retrospective study of patients treated with a one-step correction.

Methods

Between 2008 and 2019, data were collected on 26 patients (19 male, 7 female) affected by CNC (n = 18) and TCC (n = 13), all with rigid symptomatic flatfeet. Average age at surgery was 12.5 ± 1.1 (SD) years (range, 9.8-15.2). All patients (26/26) underwent resection, 20 of 26 underwent at the same time subtalar extraarticular screw arthroereisis (SESA) for correction of residual hindfoot valgus deformity.
