Résumé
Albeit pediatric flexible flat foot (FFF) is a common condition, only a minority of patients become symptomatic. Long-term outcomes of surgically treated pediatric patients with symptomatic FFF are largely unknown. In this systematic review, studies providing outcomes at a mean follow-up of at least 4 years after the procedure in these patients were analyzed. A PubMed search was undertaken involving original articles published up to July 2021 on outcome in children aged 6 to 14 with surgically treated FFF and mean (or minimum) follow-up of at least 4 years. Radiographic and clinical outcomes were analyzed. Of initially 541 entries, 10 could be included in the systematic review (all level IV), involving 846 pediatric patients with 1,536 symptomatic FFF. Pooled mean radiological (n = 8) and clinical follow-up (n = 10) was 5.3 (range 0.5-15) and 7.0 (range 4.1-15) years, respectively. Surgical procedures included arthroereisis (n = 8), lateral column lengthening (n = 1), and Horseman procedure (n = 1). Overall relative frequency of implant-associated complications and wound-healing problems was 3.2% and 1.3%, as well as 2.8% and 1.6% following subtalar arthroereisis only. From preoperative to latest radiological assessment following subtalar arthroereisis (including 3 studies with radiological follow-up < 48 months), pooled median decrease in talonavicular coverage angle (TNCA; -9.2°), anteroposterior talocalcaneal angle (A-TCA; -6.5°), lateral talocalcaneal angle (L-TCA; -3.5°), talar declination angle (TDA; -14°), Moreau Costa Bertani angle (MCB; -13°), and talo-firstmetatarsal angle (L-T1MA; -10°) was observed, as was an increase in calcaneal pitch (4.5°). In symptomatic pediatric FFF patients, surgery is associated with a manageable complication profile, and results in satisfactory long-term clinical as well as radiological outcome. Yet scientific evidence is low, warranting larger scaled studies in the future.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Albeit pediatric flexible flat foot (FFF) is a common condition, only a minority of patients become symptomatic. Long-term outcomes of surgically treated pediatric patients with symptomatic FFF are largely unknown. In this systematic review, studies providing outcomes at a mean follow-up of at least 4 years after the procedure in these patients were analyzed.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
A PubMed search was undertaken involving original articles published up to July 2021 on outcome in children aged 6 to 14 with surgically treated FFF and mean (or minimum) follow-up of at least 4 years. Radiographic and clinical outcomes were analyzed.
RESULTS
Of initially 541 entries, 10 could be included in the systematic review (all level IV), involving 846 pediatric patients with 1,536 symptomatic FFF. Pooled mean radiological (n = 8) and clinical follow-up (n = 10) was 5.3 (range 0.5-15) and 7.0 (range 4.1-15) years, respectively. Surgical procedures included arthroereisis (n = 8), lateral column lengthening (n = 1), and Horseman procedure (n = 1). Overall relative frequency of implant-associated complications and wound-healing problems was 3.2% and 1.3%, as well as 2.8% and 1.6% following subtalar arthroereisis only. From preoperative to latest radiological assessment following subtalar arthroereisis (including 3 studies with radiological follow-up < 48 months), pooled median decrease in talonavicular coverage angle (TNCA; -9.2°), anteroposterior talocalcaneal angle (A-TCA; -6.5°), lateral talocalcaneal angle (L-TCA; -3.5°), talar declination angle (TDA; -14°), Moreau Costa Bertani angle (MCB; -13°), and talo-firstmetatarsal angle (L-T1MA; -10°) was observed, as was an increase in calcaneal pitch (4.5°).
INTERPRETATION
In symptomatic pediatric FFF patients, surgery is associated with a manageable complication profile, and results in satisfactory long-term clinical as well as radiological outcome. Yet scientific evidence is low, warranting larger scaled studies in the future.
