Pedobarographic changes during first month after subtalar extra-articular screw arthroereisis (SESA) operation of juvenile flexible flatfoot

Background Juvenile flexible flatfoot deformity is a common problem in childhood. In severe cases, the subtalar extra-articular screw arthroereisis (SESA) according to De Pellegrin is a viable and effective option. There are just a few retrospective studies showing long-term outcomes, but the interval right after the surgery has not been described so far, even though the short time of healing is one of the great benefits of this technique. In this study, we examined if the pedobarographic measurements are able to demonstrate functional changes in the month after surgery.
