“…18,29 Currently, there is no complete agreement concerning the best surgical strategy in children with RFF and TCC. Recommended treatments include bar resection alone or combined with tissue interposition and hindfoot correction, 12,15,18,23,32,44,47 isolated calcaneal osteotomy, 29 subtalar fusion or triple arthrodesis; the latter being recommended for subtalar OA, failure of previous surgeries, or large irresectable coalitions with severe heel valgus. 9,35 The known poor long-term outcomes of triple arthrodesis, however, make this an undesirable option, particularly for children.…”

Background: The management of painful rigid flatfoot (RFF) with talocalcaneal coalition (TCC) is controversial. We aimed to compare operative and nonoperative treatment in children with RFF and TCC. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records and radiographs of children with RFF and TTC treated between 2005 and 2015. The nonoperative treatment consisted of manipulation under anesthesia, cast immobilization and shoe insert after cast removal. The operative treatment consisted of combined TCC resection, graft interposition and subtalar arthroereisis. Results: Thirty-four Children (47 feet) in the nonoperative group and twenty-one children (34 feet) in the operative group were included. No differences were found between groups, concerning baseline characteristics. The mean age at treatment was 11.8 years (9-17). The mean follow-up averaged 6.6 (3-12) years. There were no complications in either groups. At the latest follow-up, the AOFAS-AHS improved in both groups, although the operative group showed significantly better improvement. The operative group reported also significantly better FADI score, after adjustment for follow-up and baseline variables. Conclusions: The operative treatment showed better results compared to the nonoperative treatment. Symptomatic RFF with TCC in children can be effectively treated in one step with resection, graft interposition and subtalar arthroereisis. Keywords: tarsal coalition, talocalcaneal; flatfoot; child; surgical treatment; manipulation under anesthesia; allograft; arthroereisis.

“…Historically, subtalar or triple arthrodesis has been recommended for pain relief [17,18]. More recently, some authors reported good results following bar resection, possibly associated with interposition of various tissues [8,[19][20][21][22][23][24]. This treatment aims to relieve pain and increase subtalar motion.…”

No differences were found between groups, concerning baseline characteristics. The mean age at treatment was 11.8 years (9-17): 11.6 (9-17) for the nonoperative group, 12.2 (10-15) for the operative group. The mean follow-up averaged 6.6 (3-12) years and was significantly longer in the nonoperative group (7.8 versus 4.7 years; p < 0.0005), since the operative procedure was increasingly practiced in the latest years. There were no complications in either groups, but 6 patients (7 ft) in the nonoperative group were unsatisfied and required surgery. At the latest follow-up, the AOFAS-AHS improved in both groups, although the operative group showed significantly better improvement. The operative group reported also significantly better FADI score, after adjustment for follow-up and baseline variables. Conclusion: The operative treatment showed better results compared to the nonoperative treatment. Symptomatic RFF with TCC in children can be effectively treated in one step with resection, graft interposition and subtalar arthroereisis. Further prospective randomized studies are needed to confirm our findings and to identify the best operative strategy in this condition.
