Quality of Life after Flatfoot Surgery in the Pediatric Population
Alin Gabriel Sterian et al
Journal of Medicine and Life Vol. 13, Issue 3, July-September 2020, pp. 356–361

Flatfoot is a common deformity in the pediatric population and has a multitude of causes. Sometimes, it can be a normal finding in
children, and treatment should not be guided only based on the appearance, but rather after thoroughly assessing the patient and the
impact it has on the child’s daily life. In this paper, we describe the quality of life that the patients are experiencing after the surgical
treatment of this pathology. We made a comparison between the most used techniques for correcting flatfoot and insisted on the
postoperative comfort of the patient, rehabilitation, and the time it took to get back to their daily routine. The comparison was made
between Mosca calcaneal lengthening osteotomy, Grice extraarticular arthrodesis, arthroereisis and triple arthrodesis of the foot. All of
the surgeries were performed by the same doctor at “Grigore Alexandrescu” Emergency Hospital for Children in Bucharest. From the
data collected, we propose that newer, minimally invasive techniques could be used in treating this pathology in order to help the patient feel better in the postoperative period and avoid some of the complications regularly encountered when using the old techniques.
