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): 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 feet) 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. BackgroundThe congenital tarsal coalition is a partial or complete fusion between two or more midfoot or hindfoot bones, due to abnormal formation of bone, cartilage or fibrous tissue. (1) The incidence of tarsal coalition is about 1%, although, being often asymptomatic, the true

“…La escisión de la coalición recientemente descrita en la zona posteromedial de la articulación subastragalina ha mostrado que los resultados basados en la mejoría clínica del paciente han sido mejores que aquellos pacientes con una coalición de la faceta media estándar. Se han publicado recientemente trabajos innovadores detallando el uso intraoperatorio de guías tridimensionales para la resección de la coalición, así como la escisión qui,rúrgica seguida de interposición de una capa de gel de silicona que ha mostrado resultados prometedores con una media de seguimiento postoperatorio de 40 meses [19][20][21][22] . Las guías profesionales actuales y la preferencia del autor de este artículo es considerar siempre la resección de la coalición si no existen cambios degenerativos articulares en las articulaciones afectadas o vecinas, a la vez que intentar corregir simultáneamente la deformidad asociada en pie plano aplicando los principios ya comentados.…”
