Results of the Application of the Combined Method in the Treatment of Children With Plane-Valgus Deformation Under Stationary Conditions

Abstract

Abstract. Patients (n = 66) were divided into 2 groups. In the main group, tendon-muscle plasty was performed in the form of transposition and tenodesis of the tendon of the anterior tibial muscle in the cleft of the navicular bone, and in the control, a combination of this type of tendon-muscle plasty and subtalar arthroeresis. In the period from 2016-2021, the ortho-paediatric department of Clinic of the Samara State Medical University carried out a comprehensive treatment of 66 children with plano-valgus deformity of the feet, which included surgical correction, immobilization of the limb in the postoperative period and rehabilitation treatment for all periods of postoperative observation. Our results indicate the need for an integrated approach in the treatment of flat-valgus deformity of the feet, which includes the formation of an anatomically correct installation of all elements that make up the child's foot and ankle joint, correction of biomechanics and the development of the correct walking skill in the postoperative period.
