Abstract
Purpose
Subtalar arthroereisis is a minimally-invasive technique for the treatment of flexible flatfoot. Some issues regarding the procedure are still debated, such as post-operative management. The aim of this study is to offer a review of the pertaining literature to identify current post-operative protocols and describe possible differences among them.
Methods
We searched the PubMed database for all papers related to subtalar arthroereisis in children specifying the post-operative protocols. After reviewing all studies according to excluding criteria, 50 articles were selected for analysis.
Results
Based on the literature review, different post-operative protocols emerged in the treatment of patients undergoing subtalar arthroereisis, in particular regarding length of hospital stay, type and duration of immobilization, weight-bearing management, adopted rehabilitation scheme, sport resumption and implant removal.
Conclusions
The most important finding was the existence of a wide variety in post-operative management after subtalar arthroereisis in children, thus confirming that no clear consensus still exists in this field.
