The aim of the study is to analyze the long-term results of the subtalar arthroereisis of the feet according to Grice in children with flexible symptomatic planovalgus foot deformity. METHODS: 29 children (58 feet) were treated with symptomatic flexible planovalgus foot deformity. RESULTS: The average value of AOFAS increased from 63 (51-84) to 92 (53-96) points. According to CT size of the bone graft corresponded to 83% of the size of the subtalar sinus. CONCLUSION: In compliance with all the technical features of this operation, it is effective for correction of flexible planovalgus foot deformity with pronounced verticalization of talus. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
