  • Title: The calcaneo-stop procedure.
    Author: Usuelli FG, Montrasio UA.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Clin; 2012 Jun; 17(2):183-94. PubMed ID: 22541519.
    Abstract:
    Flexible flatfoot is one of the most common deformities. Arthroereisis procedures are designed to correct this deformity. Among them, the calcaneo-stop is a procedure with both biomechanical and proprioceptive properties. It is designed for pediatric treatment. Results similar to endorthesis procedure are reported. Theoretically the procedure can be applied to adults if combined with other procedures to obtain a stable plantigrade foot, but medium-term follow up studies are missing.
