Abstract
Flexible flatfoot is a common condition in children and adults (1); this condition is characterized by hind foot valgus, talar adduction with plantar flexion, longitudinal medial-arch collapse, pes planus, and dorsolateral forefoot subluxation (2). Progression of this pathologic entity can lead to hind foot, ankle, and knee pain (3). Many strategies for treatment of flexible flatfoot have been reported, including calcaneal osteotomy, lateral column lengthening, subtalar arthroereisis, and arthrodesis; but according to the current literature, controversy remains regarding indication, timing, and method for operative treatment of flexible flatfoot (4). A prospective, randomized, double Centre study was conducted at foot and ankle department of Cairo university hospitals and el Sahel teaching hospital between May 2017 and May 2019; This study included 26 patients (37 feet) suffering from flexible flat feet in which 20 feet were managed by arthroereisis using subtalar implant & 17 feet by medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy using modified locked step plate
