  • Title: Sta-Peg arthroereisis for treatment of the planovalgus foot in cerebral palsy.
    Author: Smith PA, Millar EA, Sullivan RC.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2000 Jul; 17(3):459-69. PubMed ID: 10943499.
    Abstract:
    The Sta-Peg procedure is most effective in the non-rigid foot in which reasonable muscle balance can be attained. Where such balance cannot be attained or where rigid deformity exists, this procedure will not solve the problem and should not be used. The authors want to emphasize that this study pertains to the use of Sta-Peg in the valgus foot caused by cerebral palsy. The procedure is rarely needed in the flexible flatfoot of a normal child.
