Subtalar arthroereisis

Discussion:

Lower limb spasticity in cerebral palsy is responsible for a variety of foot deformities1.

These include1:

  • equinus (plantar flexion)

  • hallux valgus (fixed abduction of the first metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe)

  • equinocavovarus (plantar flexion, high-arched foot, adduction and inversion)

  • equinoplanovalgus (plantar flexion, flat foot, abduction and eversion)

Subtalar arthroereisis is a non-fusion surgical technique for the management of "collapsing" or flexible pes planus (flat feet) in a cerebral palsy child2.
